In 2007 I saw a report from ABC, CBS and NBC reported about a program called, "The Grant Master Program", by Raven Media that offered a free CD on govenment grant advice on how to get money from the United States Government and also noted on their website. I went ahead and figured this had to be legitimate especially if they advertised on National Television? I went ahead and ordered the CD on-line although, i notice in small printing at the bottom of the page that they would continue to charge on your credit card an additional $39.95, $7.95 and $9.95 every month after that from
Raven Media Grant Master Membership, Express Business Funding Membership and Network Agenda Membership who happen to be a seperate entity? It was too late and i hit the bottom with-out noticing the small caption on the bottom of the page and it jumped to a confirmation page before i could even cancel the whole transaction? I contacted Ryan R.By e-mail and also their customer service by phone and cancelled the requests from Raven Media and Network Agenga.
I than received a call from Ryan R. Assistant who's name is Tony Skougard and he assured me that their was an issue with the marketing contracts? His company would contact all five marketing distributors that send out their ads to the public by television and on-line to correct the small print and other issues? He requested the items I had on hand and be sent to their corporate office which is 251 West Hilton Dr. Suite 200, Saint George, Utah 84770.
Their number to the corporate office is 1-800-609-0689 extention #334.
I received a call on March the 5th and a representative from Raven Media introduce himself from the company and read out my last 4 digits of my Visa Credit Card and asked if this was correct and I said, yes. And then he said, the company wanted to send me a free $25.00 dollar gift card from American Express for being a good customer on ordering The Grant Master Program in the past? I told him the product and services were cancelled and I wasn't interested in any of their products or services.
He said that I was still on the list? I told him I hope I am not being charged for anything and he said, well not at my end? I don't understand what that meant and I said, that I better not have anything being charged at all. The representative said no mame, and said have a good evening and hanged up. I
tend to check my accounts every night and to my amazement there was $1.05 charged to my Visa Credit Card Account.
This is fraud and I contacted my credit card company and I e-mailed Ryan R. Again. I am not sure what's going to happen, but please be careful and close your credit card accounts, or have them place a Dispute right away and stop future charges to your account, or have them re-issue a different credit card number. It is our right that these people be stopped and the only way we can do this is if we speak up. All broadcasts and other entities please pass this on to the public. If you feel that something is too good to be true your absolutely right.
