Reviews and Complaints

Any company that demands a fee for grant money applications or claiming of the grant money doesn't have the funds or even access to them money. They just want to make a quick buck. It this does happen cancel your credit card number immediately since they will not stop charging it and if a new card is issued due to the last ones date expiration happens they just call your card company and get the new 3 digit security number off the back and continue to charge whatever they want with no real guarantee at all. I consider myself a private unlicensed investigator for the people so before I do anything I ask them for all their info and research everything as well as I can plus they scammed me about 10 years ago with this same scam so I know it is fraud! I have reported them to the Secret Service to money fraud scams.

This is a 1000% SCAM! They lie on the phone to get your info and C.C. number so they can start charging all kinds of fees to it and in the disclaimer of their sight it claims that You the customer agreed to those terms. They also lie and guarantee you will get all the free grant moneys that u need for whatever u need with their help but that is a lie too. They say that to get your info and then u are on your own and most all the grants out there have so much fine print restrictions nobody qualifies or if U are lucky to find one that u might qualify for it is to late or funds are gone already. They are based supposedly all over the U.S. but don't care who they hurt just to make money. Attention everyone: if the United States has grant money or grant money from anyone else there is never a fee of any kind to apply for that said money, if you are ever asked to pay a fee it is a scam for the fraudsters to make money off of you. Don't give them your info and immediately file a complaint with your states attorney generals office on them. Also send an email to the U.S. Secret Service since this has to do with money so it concerns the national security too.

My caller said they were with Bank of America but same grant of 6000$From government and I would be charged 3.87 it was a woman Janet I’m sure fake name with an Indian accent I’m glad my bank recognized that they were scammers and didn’t let this transaction go through

I also revived a call saying I received a grant and they asked me to pay 3.99 . They took 19.99 how do I get my money back !?

So, has anyone figure out how to stop the calls from them...I'm getting 2 a day and recognize that this is a scam.

Got a call today from this same company US Financial Resources claiming that I was approved for a Government grant for 4k. Since I had been applying I thought everything was legit until it came down to the processing fee of $3.87. The guy had a very heavy middle eastern accent & was adamant about me paying over the phone and having the funds then wired to that same account within 48hrs. versus having a check mailed to me. I went along and gave him my cc info but THANK GOD Chase bank wouldnt authorize the charge because it was tagged by their fraud dept. The guy got really upset & said that if it was a scam why would they only want $3.87 & I told him if it wasn't such a big deal why was he pressuring me. This is a SCAM for sure, had it not been for my bank I would've been a victim. The number I was called from was [protected].

They called me and told me about some grant/loan I could get from the gov. and not have to pay it back to open up a business, I know that there are actual legitimate grants out there but they don't call you to give you free money. I asked for their company name and asked them to call back tomorrow, glad I didn't jump on it, if it sounds to good to be tru it most likely is, Thx you very much every one I definitely cant afford to even lose 1$ it just really sucks that they are allowed to run a business like that sounds like they straight lie to people and make big promises that they cant keep

This company is demonic! They called my under aged daughter and spoke with her about being in High School. She has been working on getting college grants so when they called HER she was excited. They said they had a large amount of grant money for her and would mail it to her but she had to pay $3.85 to cover the mailing cost. She gave them her debit card information because she is young and gullible. They told her it was a one time charge and lied to her. Then she suddenly had $59.00 drafted from her account. Our bank gave us the name of the company and phone number. I called and spoke with someone. They were very hard to understand. I told them they had taken advantage of my under aged daughter and wanted it taken card of. They immediately said they would reverse the charge - which we are still waiting to see. I asked to speak to a supervisor and I questioned why they called my daughter. I said she is a MINOR. They said "We have no way of knowing the age of the person we call". I asked if that was really true since they spoke with her about being in high school and told them I was going to report them. THEY IMMEDIATELY HUNG THE PHONE UP. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A MINOR. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THEY CAN BE REPORTED AND IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE? I AM FURIOUS THEY DID THIS TO MY DAUGHTER. HELP! - Kim

This is a complete fraud someone needs to investigate them.

I got a phone call from a man called Eddy Brown. He said that the US Financial Resources had accept my applying to the governments grants. He CHARGED me with 3.88 just for applying. Plus, an extra 59.99 as to having a membership each month. He gave ( A probably fake) confirmation number to me. Confirmation number: 237592 and fake email adress. I tried setting it up two days ago for canceling my membership and get a refund. His phone number: [protected]. There is another number: [protected]. I need some help figuring out this issue. Thank you with my best regards.

[protected] was the number they used to call me. They said I wss coming to revive a grant from my state the number that they called from was a Texas number on the other side of the country. That was the first red flag, the second was when they asked for $3.87 for a processing fee I said I didn't feel comfortable giving our my information then she transferred me to her supervisor and he tried I said no that I thought it wss a scam then he said if I don't pay then the grant would not be approved ad's I would lose access to it. I told him I wasn't giving him my cc number and he got angry and asked new do I reject the offer yes or no, I said yes and he hung up.

I just got a call from a man in India with an Alabama area code. He said I was approves for a grant and I could use it for school, business. I told him I didn't remember filing anything out expect my fafsa for school and he said this was an exclusive grant from my State. Hmmmm.fishy...because I already get a student grant from my state. He started exclaiming how they chose me and its a hard grant to receive. All I had to do was pay 3.87. I told him I don't give my cc to just anybody. He got really angry and transferred me to his"supervisior". I started argueing with him and I told him that I'll call the 1800 government number to see what is going on. He got furious ! Then he said I can't contact them? Hmmm. Finally, he says are you going to pay the 3.87 dollars or no? No of course not ... Biggest scm ever

I asked them to cancel the day they called me, i was told they could not do that at the time and i should call them back or e-mail them at a later date to cancel.I called the number at the bottom of the home page and it directed me to easy help center.com which i am telling you now to cancel annette davidson con.#270311. cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel!

I was completing a survey on line. This company appeared to offer advice on federal grant money. Offer was for a 10 day trial. They immediatly charged my credit card for 49.95. I want to cancel this transaction. NOW

US financial research they Had call me too and I had ask them was it a scam the man told me knowso I gave them my information i got nervous so I cancelled my card but they took 387

an asian guy called me asking me for my credit card information, my e-mail . He said it was a grant from the government and I wouldn't have to pay any fee.. But, I feel I have been scam and he might steel my identity...I need to cancel my account...

I received a phone call last week and they told me if I would put a card on the account they would charge $3.87 as a hold for 3 business days and then it would be refunded and I would start receiving $700.00 per month beginning in March from the government that I would never have to pay back. They said since the election they have started helping people that need help. So I went and got the prepaid card and they took the $3.87 but it still has not been put back on the card so I contacted the easyhelpcenter.com today and they cancelled the membership and told me they did not know anything about us financial resources! FRAUD!

i just made out a comment, but will do so again, i got called today 4/2/2012, from usfinancialresources.com. they said i would pay one time fee of 3.87. i tried to get onto the site with the link they had left. i did this and read where they will be taking 59.95 a month out of my account. the guy i talked too never mentioned the extra fee per month. now i cant get into the site to cancel.. please people dont be fooled by these people. thank-you wanda johnston lilstiky@netzero.com

i also just got a call from usfinancialresources.com. i was told only would have to pay 3.87 one time charge. i cant get into the site to cancel my membership. the guy never said anything about having to pay an extra 59.95 a month. im on a fixed budget and cant afford that kind of money taken each month. how do i cancel these people. thank-you wanda johnston lilstiky@netzero.com

I just got a call from an Alex from this company that he also promised that it was only a 3.87 initial fee, I declined but he gave me a # of [protected]. this might help! hope things work out for you. also a future tip: Never use your personal bank info. get a prepaid card and load it w/ money for anything you do online and over the phone.

i was told that there it was one small fee of $3.87, & they took $9.95 .but i used a green dot pack on an achieve card .god is watching .you will pay & you can take that to the bank watch, low jack got my back .!.

U.S. FINANCIAL RESOURCES IS A SCAM! REALLY IT IS. I wish I had seen this site before hand, because I had to cancel my 16 digit credit card and get another awarded to me. Fees were waived and it is up to the merchant to dispute it which uhhhhh duhhhhh they wont. I only authorized $3.87 come to find out, they got $19.95 pending on the account. I was given a confirmation #, it is a six digit # as well. Not gonna reveal it because of address purposes. To cancel is same #[protected]. They are stationed in Utah. 333 Pleasant Grove zip 84062. I hope you SCAMMERS review this and say dammmm we need another game plan, they are on to us. Why don't you all involved just put an end to yourselves, because YOU WILL GET CAUGHT and be behind bars where you belong. FOR A LONG TIME. hehehehehehehe I got the last laugh.

I've received many calls saying that they're from the Government of Kentucky, the Treasury, and just the government in general saying that I've been selected to receive grant money for anything (home expenses, college, transportation, business, personal etc.) means with no taxes or fees required from the US Federal Government. They've done this many times a day over the past month or two and simply hanging up on them or telling them I'm not interested isn't enough. I've reported them twice now to the FTC and other departments, but it seems like nothing's being done.

I can understand nothing being done to any real extent at this point considering that the majority (but not all) scams are conducted on US residents from foreign countries. In this case, I've received calls from what sounds to be the same male, using different names almost every time he calls, but this time he's going solidly by "David" for my sake since I promised him a call back for payment, which won't happen.

First of all, grant money is for school. I'm in college; I know this. They can't keep arguing with me since I know I'm right. Secondly, if they claim that they can give me $5, 000-$40, 000 for free, why would I have to pay a processing fee for it? Also, I think I would remember if I applied for any grants, especially since I did that and my FAFSA less than two months ago and I keep a detailed record of that stuff on my personal computer as well as other documents that prove it.

Third, the government won't call you. If you apply for grants, you will receive verification online through the grant site that you used (granted it's legitimate) in some cases, or at least a confirmation code if you did apply online for those rare grants, but 99% of the time, at least, you will apply and receive confirmation through the mail in secure postage. Not only that, but I'm fairly certain (as a previous employee of the government myself) that any employee working in a call center, especially in a government-related one if that were to be the case (such as in some immigration departments) that the employees would have to be fluent in English and be able to speak clearly and slow enough for everyone to understand, not in the jumbled mess that these guys do.

Sure, the fee they charge is cheap, at least according to their sales pitch (or "this is not sales; I am not selling you anything" as one of them has told me today) but according to what I've read, it seems like they charge vast amounts of money over extended periods by using this stuff; it's ridiculous and you shouldn't be the person who actually trusts anyone over the phone who asks for credit card information; the government wouldn't do that anyway. They would have no need to, lest the request come from someone you don't know over the telephone working for some company that you don't recognize or any other red flags that should come up once you actually listen to them.

As for the telephone numbers, they oftentimes show up as "unavailable", but a lot of the time for me the number has shown to be in either Georgia or California. If you're calling from the same company, pretending to be the same person, why or how would you call me from totally different numbers each time or the same one in the rare case, but you call from a different state from time to time with the same name? Surely you can't be traveling that often and that fast for the exact same thing?

With a bit of research into this from talking to this guy and searching around on my own, I found a telephone number from Florida that somehow connects back to this guy. [protected] is the number he gave me when I asked, stating that I could call once I had the money to pay the processing fee. Now, after calling this number located in Florida and receiving no answer but a voice mail recording of what sounds to be a British woman, I hung up. Within about 15 minutes, I got a call from the same California number that had called before, giving me this Florida number. He told me that his supervisor had saw on the Caller ID that I had called them there, which made no sense. So, I told him that my phone called on accident.

Another big thing for me is how quickly they talk and he even told me that (after I mentioned I wasn't interested in the grant) if I didn't act fast then my application would expire, which was a hilarious pot of crock. There's nothing legitimate about this at all. And I agree; the people who post around on websites like this saying that this whole thing is legitimate? They're liars and I guarantee you that they're either the scammers who are calling or people who are working right there beside them. They shouldn't be getting away with it.

What I recommend to people getting these calls, take notes of what the person says to you and the number. Look up where it's coming from. Report it to at least the FTC on the government site (websites that end in anything but .gov like uscis.gov for example aren't legitimate; use only the .gov web pages) so that they can get them turned in. Also, ask for other government bureaus that take consumer complaints on this sort of stuff. They need to stop preying on hard-working citizens. America among other places have enough issues as it is without deadbeat scammers trying to steal what we've all worked so hard for.

Canceled my membership the next day, never got to apply for grant.

I just started getting the phone calls after filling out some postings on resume sites. I am currently unemployed and looking for a position with the degree i just earned. the caller ID on my cell phone says "unknown". The guy asked for my name in a heavy accent. I said speaking and he asked how I was...I asked for his name and he simply said "james". and i said ok what is this about... he said I filled out an application for a grant...to which I asked where he was calling from. He stated US FInancial Resources. I told him I never filled out an application for a grant and he just said "well maybe you filled one out a month ago and just dont remember." warning bells went off at this point and even more so when he asked for the exact same dollar amount as the people above... its only $4 he stated...when I started to tell him I wasnt going to give him any money because I am unemployed he asked for a family members card to pay it for me and i told him no, i didnt have a family member who would pay for something like this over the phone and he said "oh...you think this is a scam? let me have you talk to my supervisor" this new person did not introduce himself, had just as heavy an accent as the last guy, and spoke so fast i could barely understand what he was saying except he said "if this was a scam we would be asking for $100 not $3.87..." i told him i would have to wait to talk to a family member and he gave me a number to call back...[protected]...immediately after hanging up i googled the name of the company and found this site and the above complaints and they called me back again not five minutes later while I was on here reading...i had a feeling this was a scam and now I am sure of it...thank you to everyone who took the time to post about there experiences on here so others arent scammed and i am sorry to those who lost more than the $3.87... i would pursue any and all legal options at your disposal because somebody needs to put a stop to these people.

Oh and they also have a clause in their email about certsin people of their company beingfraudulent toward consumers. Well if you know this do something about it the eoman who contacted me called herself Anna Gomez. Look into it because she is obviously a liar and trying to be a thief.

YI received a call from this place and the woman claimed her name was Anna Gomez. I amtrying to get my grants for college and I thought that maybe these people were legit.So I agreed to the $3.87 and I thought that would be it. Than I looked on the computer at my moms account, because she let me use her card. And there was a charge for $19.95 which I never agreed to and was not even told about. My mom traced her account to find out who had charged it. And even got there phone #. So, I called and told them that they better return the money or they would have to deal with fraud charges. And thst I would put them on scam mail. They rturned the 19.95 and now I have been trying to cancel my membership for the $3.97 and they wont respond or confirm mt cancellation. I dont wannt nor need their membership. And I am hoping h they do not try to charge my mothets account for the $59.00 some odd dollars for their membership. I have been trying to cancel since the first 24 hrs. And my emails keep getting forwarded back to me. If you people at this financial scam joke read this cancel my subscription, 10 day membership or whatever u call it now! You got your $3.97 out of me. And you are not even worth that. So, do something right and cancel my 10 day trial now.

I got the same phone call today... He didn't say his name, he knew all my information. I did fill out a application for some money because I needed the money. I wasn't thinking clearly during the phone call. But he asked for my cc number and I gave it to him but did not have the money for the 3.97 that I had to pay to wait till Tuesday. Now im just worried if I should cancel by card before something happens to it even though I have a 0.00 balance on it. What should I do?

There are multiple versions of this scam around just now. I am researching because I got a call like this the other day, but I am not sure who the caller was. I am researching to do some reporting to the feds for a couple reasons. The new spin is they are actually claiming to be from the Treasury Department. Well, that's easy enough to check on so I called them and of course they confirmed that any version of this storyline is, indeed, a scam.

The scam has been around in this version or the Advance Fee version mostly since 2008, with a few reports going back as far as 2006. The popping up of the "I really did get my grant money" posts seems to have begun in a very small trickle around the end of 2009, with more and more of them appearing starting around summer of 2011.

I'm not sure of this company, but most of the Advance Fee versions of the scam use Voice over Internet Protocol technologies to mask the phone numbers's real origin, which is usually outside the U.S. Some people have the technology to still trace the origins of the call, and so far on sites like this one I have seen the following countries identified as the originating location of the call: India [the most], Nigeria (relatively few), Pakistan, Peru, Viet Nam, and Korea. With some guesses, but no actual tracing, of China.

I'm wrapping up my own data collection efforts and preparing to make reports to the Dept. of Treasury and the FBI. I c&p-ed this website's URL, because there are the most positive reviewers on this one than on any other scam review sites that I've seen. But most scam report websites on these types of scams now have one or two positive reviews on them. There are also a couple of posts like "Do you have proof it's a scam?" or "How do you know the calls will go to international numbers and you will get asked for money?" which also MAY be the scammers themselves, or just people who are still hoping these are real grant opportunities. The English skills in the latter type posts tend to be more like native speakers.

That (the URL for this site) will definitely be going to the FBI.

I did the research because there seemed to me to be a shift in my case where I had been calls on a different type of scam and then it switched to the "Dept. of Treasury" scam, so I wanted to see if there was information new enough that potentially The Department of Treasury didn't have that information. There seems to be big change in this kind of thing in about the last six months or so.

As a few other posters have mentioned, the positive reviewers have very poor English skills. A giveaway that they are almost certainly the scammers themselves.

Perhaps supplying the URL to the FBI will help them trace the identify of some of these so-called grant recipients.

This is sad how people take advantage of you so fast liiking for a little help and these people see you and pounce on you i wish it was a way to teach them a lesson and sue there ### im so mad..

I have recievevd the same calls for the last few days, I have asked them to stop callin but they continue to at all time of the day. I just reciceed two phone calls back to back asking for my c.c number once again. Please contact me if you have any info on this company are how i can make them stop calling.. [protected]

I'm very cautious when someone calls and asks for credit card information. The caller (with "unknown" on caller ID) stated that he was with US Financial Resource and gave the name of Charles Marvin, however, he had a very heavy accent. I know some people change their names, but some use as a cover. I called the Customer Care number provided [protected]) and it was not in service. I've researched grants and the government does NOT offer grants to individuals for ANY reason and no one can get the money for you. Government grants are provided for certified and functioning non-profits, educational institutions, government agencies and municipalities. Go to www.usgrants.gov for an idea of grant synopsis and a list of qualifications and requirements. There is no free money to be given with just an application fee of $3.75 from someone who claims that they can get it from the government on your behalf. From what I understand there are some companies that will provide instructions, for a price, on how to submit proposals for a grant. Grant writing does take skill. Not sure if the caller was actually an employee of US Financial Resource, but they appear to be connected. The Better Business Bureau rating for US Financial Resource is D- from an A+ to F range, and they are not BBB accredited. If someone on this complaint page is stating that they have received money, I think that it is a member of the USFR. Buyer beware! People are preying on individuals that are going through difficult financial times and sometimes we want to believe it's true.

I to was contacted yesterday evening, by US resources, and was told I would be charged 3.87 cents for a a program that was designed to assist me to Identify grants available to me along with the process of applying. The gentleman introduced him self, as John Garcia, employee ID #165-02. The contact number that he left was [protected] as well. He ended the phone call stating he would be returning my calling back in 30minutes with a confirmation # that was yesterday and I'm still waiting. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop these on line scams?

This company has taken several $19.99 checks out of my account without my permission. This is not acceptable, and has caused my account to be insufficient. They need to put this money back into my account ASAP. If this is not done soon, my attorney will be handling this situation.

This account has never been used. I was not under the impression that the credit card I used would be billed every month, or that I even had an account with you, thats why there has been no activity on this account. I want all charges to stop at once and to be credited back on this account all charges because this service was never used or known about.

hi, i'm a customs who feel i've been scam by this GRANTS stuff .I think the term & condition should be in big bold print so there's no misunderstaning of what you're getting yourself into. So with that said i'm ask ing for my full refund of $57.60 seeing i did'nt get to use any of it would be great to get my $2.97 back as will i really sorry for any misunderstanding.

I paid for a service to help me apply for Government Grants. They gave me a login and password to use. The login site is a fake site, it does not exsist. When I called for customer service it was no service and they sated that they do not refund your money. This is a total scam.

I authorized and amount of $2.99 to be deducted from my debit account from these PEOPLE to pay for shipping and handling for a CD on how to apply for a personal government grant, which by the way NEVER CAME! and one week later they attempted to deduct another $39.99 from my account as well. As with the others who have complained about this SCAM sight I did not authorize this action. What can I do about this?

You took money out of my account without permission. I am on a fixed income and wouldn't allow you to take money out . I can't afford it and will probably have bad checks if I don't get the money back. PLEASE

I want a return confermation that all charges have stopped and that the money that was taken for this unused account has been returned to the credit card in the Name of Maryrose Hughes. you have my phone number and my return web address: jeffbear1@msn.com Phone #[protected].

They are charging me. They didnot talk about monthly fee. Only activation 3$ FEE. Now i knew they are charging 59 dollars every month and i dont know to cancel my membership. I want my refund. I didnot even open the site.

I had $59.95 taken out of my account today, with no warning because of this company - that I had never heard of. Like above, I had received a call in November from someone requesting that I send them $3.98. But I did not give them my credit card number - they kept insisting that they were with the government and the guy had all my information. He called for a few more days until I threatened to report him - then the calls stopped. That money never came out because I did not give my cc number to them. However, the $59.95 came out in FEBRUARY - three months later. I called them and asked for a refund because I had never heard of easyhelpcenter.com or this specific company. The representative, Kelsey, that I spoke to was NASTY. She cancelled my "subscription" and refunded me, but would not give me a conformation code at first, because "that wasn't part of her job." She eventually rattled off so many numbers for me, and I requested to speak to a supervisor. She said that there were none on duty, and that she couldn't help me. I hung up and called a few hours later, and talked to a different representative who sent me a refund receipt email AND gave me the correct conformation number, to secure that I will have my refund in 3 to 5 business days - and agreed to me that Kelsey lied. The new representative then sent me to a supervisor, who did not care that Kelsey lied or was completely useless. Please stay away from this company, they're nothing but rude, nasty, scam artists. Call [protected] to reach their call center in order to get your money back. This number was given to me by my bank.

Received the same call from a man named Alex asks him if he was Indian and he told me no, asked for my c.c number and yes I fell for it to, told me I would be charged $3.87 for a grant that was for $3900 that I would receive in 5-7 days. I even went further to asking about the number he was calling me from which was [protected], why no one answered when I called, he told me it was a customer service number some would answer when I call, I informed him I tried calling while being on the phone with him 6 times then he went on to say, they are a customer service center they are busy. But still no answer, then I aske him for an alternate number which he gave me [protected] which was not a us financial resource number, it was some loud annoying man answering phone which I hung up on. I asked for a website and he gave me www.grants.gov and the number at the bottom was not the number he gave me. He told me I would receive an email in 24 hours and I asked why would it take 24 hours to receive an email, if it's a grant why do I have to pay $3.87 for it for a processing fee? I asked for an address and he gave me one in pleasant grove which was an address for us financial resources with complaints about this, I called my bank (Chase) and informed them I gave someone my c.c information and I found out it was a scam and they did the dispute for the $3.87 told me to come in and have my card replaced and not to worry about it nothing else would come out of it, the number that was affiliated with the bank transaction was [protected] but when called, it said they were close this was at 11:00am (cst). It was a lesson well learned, I appreciate you'll posting your experience with this incident to make me aware of what is out there and I hope my report can't help someone just as you'll did me...

I didn't give out my bank info but I did use a prepaid card for the $2.87 yesterday...only to fond out it's a scam today...

I was. Called today by a "Steven smith" he gave me his badge number as well and said to apply for more grants on grants.gov which is a legit site. I told him I lost my debit card and could pay cash and he said I needed a card. So I got a prepaid card from walk art and loaded 15$ on it to pay the $3.87 to pay for the shipping of my $6500 check that I should get Friday. He sounded very convincing but was rude after I hung up on him because I wasn't willing to tell him info. He then said I didn't need to tell him anything. He knew my name and email and address and I didn't have to tell him a single detail. All o had to do was pay $3.87. I'm still confused as to if its real or not. I guess I'll see if I get any money Friday. At least I used a prepaid card so they can't take anything from my bank account or anything. He said I could have the check or wore the money...I dos check because I didn't wanna give my bank info. Did any one actually get anything?

My name is Gary, I also received a call from a man who was not a English speaking person. The man promised, and swore that everything he was saying was ligament, that I would receive a envelope from Fed- ex within 3 days for information and the best ways too also easily receive Grants. Different companies that are willing to grant for housing, business's that you want to start. On the phone for 5 min. promising that everything was on the up-n-up I for one gave out my info far a onetime charge for this information. I'm still waiting for the info a week later! The BBB needs to step in and stop these scammers.

Man they called me to and told me I applied online and I was going to receive a grant and they needed my account info for some to transfer the money to my card. I was also charged like $3 and some cents, so they cheated me too! And they sounded so convincing damn!

These [censored] called my son trying to trick him into giving them his credit card info claiming he was eligible for a grant from US Financial. Thankfully he was wise enough not to give it to them. These websites that email you job notifications and then they turn out to be information gathering sites so they can call you and try to scam you are getting ridiculous!

They called me too advertising free money, but they need my card info first, just like the emails, , ...
Lukily I went online first and saw the many complaints and it just sounded to good to be true also. . They were upset when I refused to good cc info

This happened to me yesterday, I got a call about government grant money and they told me that they needed my credit card number. I gave it to them after a few questions, they told me that it was erased after they charged me the three dollar fee for my application. They said that I would get the grant money sometime Friday, and that it would be about 7500 dollars unless I contacted support and told them how much money that I wanted. What do I do now?

On November 26. 2010 I went to this website and ordered a kit about government grants. The company was supposed to charge my card, only $2.97. They charged $2.99 and then charged another $58.07 the next day. When I found out what they did I called them and they said that I had to respond in 24 hours or be charged the monthly fee of $58.07. I never saw that anywhere. When I finally got in touch with them they said to contact grants refunds@gmail.com When I reached this site I found out that I am not the only one they are screwing out of money.

Asked if i wanted to purchase a two dollar cd and was charged $69 to my checking acount. Vendor never sent email confirmation. I did not receive the cd for two months and my account was not charged for two months. Vender claimed there was a hidden agreement in the terms and agreements to charge my account if i did not cancel in 7 days. It was written all over the web - site that the only fee was going to be $2, not $69. No email confirmation with a username and password were ever sent to my email address. The vendor directed me to apply the fraud complaint to this website. The vendor has never given me a username and password for this account. I believe this is fraud.

After just posting my complaint about elite pack, this email popped and got curious since it says cancellation notice. I never had any business or transaction with success grants.

The email stated that
"your active credit card will not be billed $79. 86 if we do receive and process your trial cancellation before the end of your 1 - day trial offer period. "

The same amount that elite pack charged my credit card with no approval. Having just the bad experience with elite's suopervisor, steve emp #402, i called the number stated in the email. This time the customer service is wendy emp# 829. She confirmed the number i gave her matched with success grant.
I asked why i'm getting this email when i had no knowledge of this business or company. I gave my name and the order number stated in the email. She said no record of either one. She asked for the credit card # i used with the transaction. I said no since i dont have any transaction with them. I felt being forced to give a credit card number so she can research more. Since she confirmed nothing on my name as well as the company's order # is set up as an account.
When i squeezzed her to check further, gave my email address
(Better than giving my credit card number) later on she said the only thing showing on my email address is the cancellation and dispute of the same amount with elite pack.

Wonder, if wendy and steve are sitting next to each other?

I'm sending this post as proof that i have no transaction or order with success grants and they have no authority at all to bill or charge me.

These people shld be stopped.

Received a debit to my bank account for the sum of $72.21 from a company listed only as 'Members area billing' on the bank statement. Phoned the bank and they gave me this number-888*250*4948, and the person answering ?Gereny? gave me this number as 'customer service for govt grants' 888*248*9285; received a message that they were experiencing technical difficulties and to call back later. Made call later and was given the run around. Finally spoke to Carlos Villalobos? a supervisor who gave me this email address and told me that there was a cancellation # and a transaction # to use but this does not ask for either one nor is there a place to include such. I don't know who the company is and then was also told that this was the second account that I had with them. I have never solicited any matter from whoever they are and told same to Carlos subject. The transaction Id given to me was [protected]. And the cancellation code was [protected]. I do not have any information as to who the company is or what the product really was. I am just requesting that whatever was removed from my account be replaced as I did not contact whomever it was in the first place for whatever they were selling. Are you able to help me with this problem or do I need to contact someone else to get this resolved? I was not born into wealth and work nearly everyday on 2 jobs. I don't have time for this kind of foolishness. Once again I ask, Can you help me with this? Thank you in advance.

I agreed to pay $1.95 for a CD with information on the availability of governments grants. No CD has been received though I have been bombarded with multiple emails daily that are the same thing as the original offer I accepted - its circular. When I received my credit card statement I found additional Int'l Visa fees that were not disclosed in the original offer to receive the CD for $1.95 and there is another charge for $58.61 that was never authorized.

I too have been scammed by this company. I used a prepaid credit card because my gut feeling was something doesn't feel right. I went ahead and paid the postage for the grant package. I have yet to receive it.
Last night I received a call from them trying to offer me a free gift for $54.00 and asked me to verify the last four digits of the credit card. I told them I was not interested.
I hope this big rip off company is prosecuted.

I hope they try to call me back so I can tell them exactly what I think and how I feel. I can't believe the people working for this company. I would feel so guilty ripping off innocent people.

I recently looked at my bank statement and seen an additional 58.61 taken out of my checkings account when I was told it would be free. All i had to pay was the 2.95 for s&h and that would be it. I know 58.61 isn't much to some people but it is alot of money to me. Especially with me being laid off and my husbands hours getting drastically cut and with a baby on the way I was looking for some help. I didn't even receive the information yet that is "suppose" to be free. I want that money refunded back to my checking because we desperately needed that to pay bills.

These companies are part of the same scam. .

They illegally charge your accounts for services that you did not s8ign up for.

It appears that they may use your information to sign you up for legitimates services like "consumer info" so the amount will not be easily detected. Eg. You will see a charge from cumser infor for 29. 95 and other 29. 95 charges to hide their charges.

Called the customer service number [protected] (This seems to be a clearing house for all these companies.)

It's a pure scam!

I really don't know where these e-mails are coming from. They gave me the information knowing that
I was in Canada but when I asked about it I got no answer. I found out that it was American when they took out the payment
and my account said U.S. funds. I called the number on the credit card report and they said I had to come here. It is a scam
and they need to be stopped. They charged my Visa $36.33 U.S. Funds. I would like to know if you can do anything to get my money back?

The above is email I received confirming that I was being charged $2.97. However, $57.61 was deducted from my account. I never authorized that amount. I've already had serviced cancelled and want a full refund. Thank You.
