Ordered advertised kit giving access to government grants with intention of returning to school. Advertisement was for a free kit or guide, consumer asked to pay only the shipping charges of $2.97. Upon receipt of user name and password, I attempted to access the website with no such luck. Well I guess that's a prime example of there being no such thing as a free lunch! I was ripped off just like everyone else who has fell for that ruse and like most, it was indeed the first time ever that I have ordered anything off the internet and will never do so again. I read one complaint where they are attempting to acquire even more monies fro the account of a consumer's debit card. Should I alert my service to stop payment, eventhough there is nothing on the card at this point? I would hate to be charged with any fees from my debit card service re: insufficient funds.

Ordered the kit off what I thought was a secured news sight. They got the $2.97 but didn't notice any other charges at this time. Tried to go into their website after getting username and password. Got a blank screen instead. Could have used the information on grants to help my son with college.

I was scammed by the same website as well.I took the $2.97 from my debit card.And also tried to debit my card for the of $57.61 without me knowing about it.My username nor my password will allow me to log to site.I encourage eveyone to report them to your local BBB and our FTC as soon as possible in order to get their website off of internet for good.

I too tried to access this web site and couldn't. I did call the support # and got a cancellation #. Was told I would only be charged $2.97 on my credit card and would recieve conformation of this by E-Mail. Hope I'm not duped twice.

I was not happy with this program either, but I did go to: fed-pack.com/static/support and got on a live chat with a tech. She canceled my subscription and gave me a cancellation number. Hopefully this is legit. I will be watching my bank account.

fed-pack SCAM! I tried out there trial for $2.97 and canceled, 3 months later they billed me for $57.00. If you try calling to cancel you're sent to India where you can understand a dam word.. Just like the commercial of the Russian guy name peggy. Had to cancel my credit card. Now my Fico score went down because of it. DON"T BUY IT!

I called the phone number that was posted by someone who had been scammed. They denied being BSS webgrant. They found our name as being members. I asked to be cancelled. They gave me a confirmation number for my cancellation. I asked for a refund. She was to connect me but I was disconnected. The girl I spoke to was foreign, speaking hard to understand English. I asked where they were located...she said Los Angeles. She gave me a website...www.fed-pack.com/kit
So far, no satisfaction. Wanted to get an address but will have to call back because ...don't know why...so frustrating, just wanted her to get me the refund dept. Fran in PA

This company should be reported to someone - don't know who - but maybe someone like Better Business Bureau. There is a place to complain. I will find out and post so all can contact them. This company is making a fortune on so-called shipping charges. Funny how some of us paid under $2 and some of us paid almost $3 - huh? I called the # - [protected], cancelled, have my cancellation #, supposedly the contact name, time and date of call. I will check with my bank tomorrow night at this time to see if the $57 was taken out of my acct. I told the operator she may want to read this complaint board on the company she is working for. Will keep you posted.

I'm in total agreement with fed-pack complaints. I was looking for financial assistance for education, and came across the fed-pack website. I was informed that I would be charged a "one-time" fee of 2.97 that I thought was going towards the grant request. The next thing I know I check my account and an additional 57.61 had been taken out of my account. I contacted their "support team" and was informed that the 2.97 was just to have access to their services for the first day, and that the 57.61 was the enrollment fee(per month) to join their "Exclusive Program". I told to cancel my enrollment immediately, but it looks like I'm screwed out of my 57.61.
Any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

I just purched the fed-pack for $2.97, this is the first time i've ever purched anything off the internet and it will be the last. So much for trying to better your life. It's crooks like that make a bad name for the people that aren't crooks. I just wish I could find one that wasen't. I guess I'll just have to figure something else out.

Ok, so, I tried and tried, again and again, and just like many others my "password" wouldn't go through. So, I did call the number they give to speak with a support tech. I expected to get a recording that says "you've reached a number that is nolonger in service", or something to that effect. BUT, low and behold, I reached a live person. who told me the reason why I couldn't get through was because, ...( let me mention, before I write what she said, I have never heard of having to do such a thing when filling in passwords and usernames, nor did I recall seeing any such instructions on doing so.) She said that I couldn't get my password to go throught because I had to put the word "user" in before the password. So, for instance, Let's say your user name is [protected] and your password is 5SiM4pLe8Sa3LL7y. Then, she's saying it should look something like this, ...
USER NAME : [protected]
PASSWORD : user5SiM4pLe8Sa3LL7y
Now, whether it works or not; I haven't a clue. I cancelled the subscription. So, maybe if one of you brave people are willing to give it a try, let the rest of us know what happen.

You know I was afraid this was a rip off. I am in the processing of divorcing a man who has put me on public aid and very little money coming in. I don't even have enough money to pay 3 bills and have some to live off for the month. You would think that the BBB or someone (perhaps government) would do something about this. I'm going to lose my home and my kids now too.

This site is utter [censor] and a total scam. I also gave them 2.97 which they would not refund even though i could not find there web site. I am glad i had the presence of mind to terminate enrollment after reading some of these comments or i to would have unknowingly been charged over 57 bucks, fn scummbaggs! I cant stand people or entities who pray on those who are trying to seek some assistance and do rite by themselves. Where are the values of honesty and integrity anymore. This type a [censor] makes me sick, i hope it does you aswell. jtcali
