The company is called Grant Resource Center or Grant Instructor, LLC and they operate from 3155 East Patrick Lane Suite 1 Las Vegas NV 89120. They would not provide this address when asked but found it through "consumer complaints.com". The fraudulent practice is when they advertise a free cd that provides government grant information and the person needs only pay shipping and handling of $2.95. They then hide a $49.50 monthly subscription fees on a 7 page fine print terms and conditions pdf. When the charge is applied to a person's bank account they refuse to refund the money even though nothing has been provided. The CD doesn't arrive and the customer is so outraged they cancel the service so they don't even access the information provided in the so called "subcription".
When I found out about the charge to my account, I called and cancelled and received an email from this company confirming my cancellation. The person who I spoke with was David Strulowitz and emailed me from [email protected].
The first response I had after I contacted my bank to report this fraudulent charge was to contact the BBB in Vegas. Grant Resource Center or Grant Instructor, LLC is not in their system. I have a feeling this is a hand full of people running a scam. I have asked local law enforcement to investigate these individuals for criminal intent and attempt to defraud the general public under false advertising and misleading business practices.
