I am sure we have all seen the ads on our computer called anything from 'Stimulus for Personal Use', to 'Get Out of Debt and Never Repay the Government', most fall under, if read closely, an organization called "Grant One Day". These people offer a $1.99 cd of how to apply for a grant through the government and promise these grants will never have to be repaid. Now, we all know the old adage you never get something for nothing, in this case, so very true!
3 days after receiving the cd, which was worthless, I received my credit card statement with 3 charges on it, with more to follow if I had not caught this. One was the original $1.99, the next was for $39.00, and finally the last was the monthly charge for $94.88. The terms and conditions which showed on the link I opened and agreeded upon was 3 lines basing itself on the original $1.99 for the cd, and nothing else! Don't be a fool as I was and fall for this! Even though I caught this and canceled my membership, with the promise of a refund of these charges, now I am contacted by the company and may only POSSIBLY get a refund after 88 days, if I follow procedures they described.
Point being, if you see a picture of our President with the caption FREE GRANTS... Never repay... Don't fall for it and do not send for the cd with your credit card information!
