Synergy pro consulting is a so called company that promises that they will help you apply for a government grant. I was browsing on the internet for information on government grants. I clicked on Uncle Sams website, which states that the government will give you grant money to start a business or purchase a home, etc.
As soon as i filled out the form for free information, bam!!! They came right on to the screen and i could not get out of the site. I had to turn off my computer to get out of it. I thought that it was the end of it. I turned my computer on to see if they were gone. They were for a little while. Then suddenly they popped up onto the screen again and the phone began to ring. I answered it.
The man on the other end stated that he was from synergy pro consulting and that he wanted to help me to apply for government grants. I asked it what it was all about and i listened to him run off his spiel, it was like listening to a telemarketer. He promised me this that and the other thing. I then said, excuse me but i have a very important question to ask you. He answered sure, go ahead. I asked him, how much? At first he acted like he did not understand the question. He did not answer, for a few moments. Then i repeated myself. How much? He said what? I then said how much is this going to cost me? He began his spiel again. I interrupted him again.By saying, how much?
Then finally he said $2,900, for five weeks of consulting. I could not belive my ears.
He then said for that amount i wound receive a grant coach to help me to apply for the grants. I did not want to do it, but i thought well maybe he really could help me to apply for the grants, because i did not know how to go about doing such a thing and i really wanted those grants so that i could start my own small business. So i fell for it hook line and sinker. After three telephone sessions with my so called coach, i was no closer to applying for those government grants than i was before. I had only paid them $1000 to begin with because i was kind of leary about the entire thing. So after the third week they kept on calling me for the rest of the money, i told them that i would not being paying the rest of the money and that i wanted a refund. They refused. I reported them to the better business in utah. I still have not received a refund from them, and i still did not apply for any grants, or have the knowledge to do it.
They are the worst company that i have ever dealt with. They are major rip off artists, and they have it down to a science, they hit you and they hit you hard. You have know idea that they are coming or that they are even out there. So beware... If you are looking for grants from the government, be really careful who you talk to.
