MyGrant Dollars scam

On Feb 05 2009 I signed up for my grant dollars and they took 1.95 off my credit card. And put a hold on a $68.13. Which my bank charged me a $25.00 overdraft fee. When I called they informed me that I was suppose to cancel by Feb 11th. When I asked to talk to the supervisor. she said they weren't available and that I would have to e-mail SUPPORT @ GRANT RESEAR GUIDE .COM. attention. JANET JHONSON. When I did that I found out it was a scam. I'm a single women working very hard for every cent that I make. It makes me sick to think their are people out there allowed to get away with this. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME? Thank you.

Foolishly thought this would help me find grants that I could qualify for...WRONG! Also, when I initially paid the 1.95 there was no other information either on the site or when I printed my receipt mentioning anything about being charged an additional $58.61 after 7 days. Took an act of God to find a phone number in order to cancell! BEWARE!

I paid the $1.95 also. When i went back to see if i could get the money i forgot what the website was calld so I typed in MYGRANTMONEY.COM and saw all the review complaints. I quickly cancled my credit card that i had used previously. I called the 1800 number to tell them that i wanted to cancle my membership.. and told them that i heard that u charges people $68 everymonth after there trial period... they said that they tried to charge my creditcard and it was declined. THank god i cancled it just in time! They told me where u add ur credit card info on the web page, that it tells u at the botttom that u will be charged $68 after a 7 day trial period. I checked that out for myself and it does say that in very small print! This is such a SCAM! I feel bad for who ever gets sucked into it.

MyGrant Dollars unauthorized invasion

I had my checking account charged for 58.61 and did not have the chance to cabcel anything because I never received a phone number or email or cancelation procedure's on the computor or through the mail. I know I won't get my money back but i will close the account so there will be no more unathorized withdrawals . This is a crappy way to do business . Take me off your mailing list cancel any occount I have with you because if this is the way you do bussiness it isn't anty wonder that your rich because you got the perfect scamm ripping people off !

I am in total agreement I could not even finish the transaction so I couldnt cancel or get back on the website
I got nothing I see the charge registered on my cc in Feb
for $68.13 It lists London Great Britain on it. Class action would be a good idea I only agreed to the $1.95 list charge. contact me at lob999@aol.com

I am the newest member of the rip off scam commited by Lisa Fitsgerald. The only thing one can do is to cancel your account with Lisa Fitsgerald, call your credit card company and dispute the unauthorized charge, the its very important to change your credit card # so Lisa"RIP ME OFF" Fitsgerald can not bill you anymore. From what I have heard they still bill you after you cancel with them. So change your credit card number(**VERY IMPORTANT**) I am very interested in finding out new information on these fraudsters.Please email me at scottymac1515@yahoo.com. Thankyou!

Everyone needs to read the terms and agreements section on the bottom of the web pages for any of these grant.coms. they actually spell out that they would take the money every month until you screem uncle.
I do however find it interesting that this web site complaintsboard.com actually advertises for these grant.com schemes.
