Im hardworking hispanic man trying to earn good living for my family. Where do I start well I guess ill start at the beginning (nov 2) thats the day I got the phone call from tim patrick from the company named the grant people. I had a small mexican resturant that was doing pretty good when I got the phone call i thought to myself too good to be true dam i wished i would've listen to myself this guy named tim patrick said so many things (things like i could get a grant for 50,000 to 80,000 for just being hispanic and having a bussiness, man did he play me for a fool.
After talking for about 45min i fell for his lies and gave him 2500 to get the ball rolling (in his words) he said that by the end of dec i would have a grant i said great cant wait so about two weeks pass by and a differnt guy calls me his named was mark he tells me that they are working on my grant and are coming close in getting one i said great, so then he starts telling that things would be much faster if i became a nonprofit corpration, at first i said not interested right now but he kept talking about how much better it would be, finally i said okay and folk over $5000.00 to them, so thats comes to a total of $7500.00 that i gave them, i said okay now i just have wait
Well i waited for about month finally i get a call back from mark and he says great news i found a grant for you for $800,000 but its going to cost $7000.00 to apply for it i said no at first but he said this is garanteed its a SLAM DUNK in his words, once again i beleived him and folked over another $7000.00 so now that come to a total of 14500.00 that i gaved them.
I waited for another 2weeks didnt hear anything from them, finally i called they said that the grant is just about ready to be completed but what i needed was a business plan and they could do it for me but it was going to cost me $4300.00 and they said that this would be all i have to give they said after paying this they will not require me to pay anymore fees i said okay and folked over the 4300.00 so that comes to total of 18,800.00 that i gave them months pass by and i called and called and called and all they did was just give me the run around never heard from mark again i was tranfered to loman church, rentta, and to bryan green and they all said the same thing were working on it. I kept calling back left message after message after message finally i called and their number no longer worked... These b*ards put me out of business and used up all my savings if there is any class action lawsuit agansit this company please e-mail me!!!
