I was contacted by IC Financials who informed me that my buisness had quilified for a grant. I was sceptical at first but they explained that they worked as part of IC Services, and they explained about the website (www.IC-Services.com) and that they are a ligitimet buisness in Reno, NV. I figured that they got my name off of a bid list because of recent government Jobs that my company had bid on. They stated that they have a money back garuntee so i decided to apply for a grant. I was asked to submit a money order or certified check for $464.00, and it had to be sent in with in 3 day do to the grant being closed. I sent out the money order as requested, and was told I would recieve a personalized questionaire in the mail within 3 to 4 weeks. They made me send the payment with a tracking number due to a grant deadline. Once the tracking number was given to them that was the last I heard from them. Five weeks went by and i called and spoke to a "Sara Abriham" who assured me that it was in the mail. I also asked about the grant deadline, which her reply was " She did not have my file and knows nothing about the deadline". At that time i requested to speak with someone who is handing my file. SHe replied that they are all busy and that she will make sure they get the message. This went on for the next three weeks. I am now speaking with a Mr. Stetson, and a Kimberly Everton. I recived an E-mail from Kimberly with a copy of a boiler plate questionaire. At this point i am requesting a refund of my money. Mr. Stetson imfomed me that they do not give out refunds and hangs up any time i call.
From what information that i have found on the internet and by calling government agencys is that this company is not in Reno, NV. That the company was formerly IC Services claiming to be in Beverton, Oregon, and before that it was MGR Solutions.in Montreal Quebec. This company is a SCAM.
