Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I was charged $7.95 and also $39.95 for the 2007 Grant Master Deluxe Edition marketed by Raven Media. I then incurred a $30 overdraft fee, for lack of funds, which I did not authorize. I am now going to follow up with the Attorney Generals Office, and file a complaint and take any action I can against them.

I also was charged for a product I did not receive. After calling the customer service number and answering every question the same way... I want a credit to my account, I do not want your product... Mr. Man in India gave me a confirmation code for a refund. He was completely cordial. We'll see how long it takes, and if I receive my refund.

I'm in extreme need of home improvement. I can't locate any sites for my personal needs. I can't afford to pay for this service with no results. I'd like a refund if possible. I had someone check the cd to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thank you,
Darlene Ludwikowski.

I cancelled all services connected with Grant Master CD and now I am being charged $1.29 on my debit from Bill Check Waus Kirkland US. I did not authorize that charge or any future charges. This company deserves to be investigated and have criminal charges brought against them.

I ordered a FREE Grant Master CD which I was billed $1.97 for the shipping costs. I was informed that I had access to the information for an introductory 60 days and I cancelled it way before that and never used it afterward. I now find that a company called Network Access has been billing my card since. 15 payments! I never authorized. I never opened their confirmation email and never authorized these charges. My card has been in a drawer on auto-pay and not been used. Needless to say I was shocked to find these charges had put my card overlimit and I suffered large fees and credit score headaches. I had no idea what NA whatever was and thought it was an accidental death policy or something. I am furious and they said they would refund 5 out of 15 unauthorized charges. This is fraud and they should be put out of business for illegal use of credit card information.

My Name is Lisa. I wanted to complaint about the service I have receive from Grant Master. I was sure that online process was safe and secure until I gave grant master my trust. Grant Master website is not user friendly. It is hard to even figure out how to apply to a federal grant. I wanted to start my own business. I have not received any software or anything from grant master and I am already starting to see charges of 39.95 on my bank account. How are these guys going to charge me and I have not receive any type of calls about my cd to assure that I am really going to receive anything. I saw that you have to cancel before 7 days and it has already been seven days and I have not receive anything not even and freaking email that they said I would receive so that "I CAN LOGIN TO GET GREAT OFFERS AND ASSISTANCE" I has a bunch of lies. Then when you call to get some information on the issue they people that have answer the phone don't even know how to assist all they can do is argue about the situation. I can understand If i was charge maybe $4.00 or something but this is $40 for a service that I have not receive. I feel like I was just putting my credit card information and trust into people would do not help. I have posed on my website the service under "Do Not Do Business" with these people because of the service you receive. But don't have to worry about me doing business with these people are anyone ASSOCIATED with this government. This experience will make me sit there and read terms and conditions all day. Maybe even call to get someone there to read them. I should not have to wait my time and money on the internet and making calls just to use your service. Already had to pay for a cd that I have not receive. I wish that this business will be review and possibly shut down because of it non-user friendly website and misleading terms and conditions.

I am truly sorry to hear of those here that have been scammed. I was thinking of ordering this CD, but now I know that something that sounds too good to be true usually (and in this case) is! For further reference, we have the "Ask Lesko" book. I know it sounds cliche, but there are massive amounts of grants in there for almost everything you can imagine. God bless those who have been scammed and I hope you can at least get some of your money back from these charlatans!

I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. There are no commitments with the free product. However, there is a bonus free trial period to membership websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated 4 times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation, it is then also explained in the 1st paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. We would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer. That is why we have the Terms and Disclosures posted on the sales site directly above or below the "Ship My Kit" Button depending on the site you order from.

Here are the Terms and Disclosures that are located directly below or above (depending on the site you order from) the "Ship My Kit" Button. Also the first paragraph of the Term & Condition refers you to Terms and Disclosures on the sales page.

For your security, all transactions on this site are protected with Secure Sockets Layer encryption. By clicking “Ship My CD”, I am ordering the Grant Master CD™ and trial membership for $2.29 S&H, after the seven day trial I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the fourteen day and twenty-one day bonus trials to Express Business Funding™ and Network Agenda™ for $7.95 a month and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy / Terms and Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as “GRANTSEARCHASST”. For questions, call [protected].

For customer service you may call [protected] and they'll be happy to assist you.

The Information on our Grant Master CD is general information that you can find for free on the internet. We have gathered the information and put it on an easy to access and navigate CD for your PC. This saves our clients the time and let’s face it frustration of having to search out this information on their own. That is why our Grant Master CD is free and you only pay $2.29 for the Shipping and Handling. Along with the Grant Master CD you receive a 7 day free trial to our Grant Resource Center. This is our members website were you will be able to learn the entire process on how to write and submit a grant proposal. It is easy to start utilizing the Grant Resource Center by simply watching the tutorial videos that explain how to access all of the features on the site. Our team of writers headed by acclaimed Grant expert Dr. Porter provides a monthly cover story that provides the newest information on grants and grant related topics. We also provide a quarterly news letter that provides in-depth information on current trends in government and private funding. As well as the latest financial advice on how to find and manage grant money. You will be able to search grants through multiple grant sources. You can search for Federal, State, and Private Grants you can also search for Scholarships. Another exclusive feature of our Grant Resource center is that you can enroll in the Grant A Day program where a Grant is given out daily. In three easy steps you can apply for the Grant a Day program and you will be eligible for it as long as you are a member of the Grant Resource Center. Here is the link to our testimonials site http://members.ravenmediainc.com/granttestimonials/ were you can read what some of our successful clients had to say about our program. Another feature we offer is our live one on one chat representatives. They are available to answer any questions you have along the way. All these features and more are designed to help you be successful in locating, applying for, and receiving a grant. The information that is offered through the Grant Resource Center website is more extensive than what other companies sell in coaching programs that cost a thousand dollars or more. So we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. We offer all this for a reasonable monthly fee of $39.95. Ordering our Grant Master CD also includes two fast action bonuses. The first fast action bonus is for Express Business Funding (EBF) which has a 14 day free trial. This program is designed to help customers through each step necessary to obtain a loan for a small business. This includes researching and putting together a business plan, presenting that plan to the SBA, filling out a loan application, and anything else that may be needed along the way. After the trial period, it is a reduced monthly membership fee of $7.95 because you are already a member of another of our programs. The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda an affiliate company. That offers an online date book service that will allow you to keep track of your daily schedule and will even send you reminders to your email and or cell phone. After the 21 day free trial the service is $9.95 a month membership fee.

Like the complaintant, I failed to read the "Terms" section, yet my CD came promptly. I too called to cancell the automatic monthly billing withdrawals, to date I have been billed twice. I have, twice, in the last several days communicated via your Contact web page (ticket number [protected]-105, sorry, 2nd number is on a different computer). I am now going to mail a stop payment request to the only address I can find:
2008 Grant Every Day
Grant Master CD
5428 Rainbow Drive, Ste 220
Las Vegas, NV 90210

I understand that your business practice is legal, though subjectively perceived as deceptive and wrong.
I understand that I am not due a refund.
The following action I require from you, Immediatly cease and desist in making electronic withdrawals from my bank /debit/Visa Card account. Today's date 30 August 2008, Time: 11:51 cst.

I do wish you would provide all neccessary contact information within your Terms section thereby reducing everyones frustration.

Thank You

This was a complete rip off. I ordered the Grant Master and they not only charged me @39.95 per month, but they also charged me $7.95 and a $9.95 charged from a company associated with them namedBusiness Fund. They charged me twice during the month of July totalling over $90.
I called a customer service number to investigate the matter and I was informed there was a contract that I didn't even know existed. I was given confirmation numbers and told that I would be reimbursed...we will see.

I am writing on my lack of knowledge about your grant master program, I asked you to refund my money that you received a couple weeks ago .You kindly sent it back to my account, I really appreciated that. You see I didn't received my cd until the seven days were up, and I was worried you were runnig off with my money. A couple days before that someone took my debit card numbers and took money in my checking. Now do you understand that realy scared me I live off my S.S.Disabilty and every penny I need very much. Both of us meaning my wife and I need our money we both have had back surgery, we don't get around this mobile home dosen't give us much room for walkers, wheeled chairs. We need you to help us e-mail me at curtis.lajiness@sbcglobal.net or crtslajiness@yahoo.com Please help us. I ask for your forgiveness on how I acted. I do have your cd now, will the username and password stiil work?

Grant Master is in no way affiliated with Bill Check Waus Kirkland US and there is absolutely no reason for Grant Master to be the title of this complaint. Your account and all charges associated with your Grant Master program were cancelled when you called customer service and requested to cancel.
