I found a strange charge on my credit card from Grant Search. I have never visited this website and I never ordered this CD.
I am very concerned how they got my information and credit card number.
There was also a charge from blockbuster.com on the same day and I have never ordered anything from them.
I tried calling this company with the 800 number on my credit card bill and tried to find out what this was. The person on the other end insisted I ordered this CD from them, when I told her I had not and how did they get my information she kept asking me for my address and email addy. I told her I would not give her anymore information as this was obviously some kind of scam. I told her to remove the charges and she said she couldn't as I ordered this CD to get information about obtaining a grant.
I have never seen this web site. I have no need for a grant (not really sure what getting a grant entails other then for school). She was very unhelpful and I ended up hanging up on her and calling my CCard company and reporting these 3 charges from them and the one from blockbuster.com. I have never ordered anything from blockbuster either. I closed my CC to make sure no further charges would be applied.
This is some kind of scam and I really want to find out how they got all of my information. I do order products online but usually only from trusted sites. This has me very confused!
I see a lot of people on here who did actually order the CD but didn't read the 'fine print' to see it wasn't a free CD where you only pay shipping but I never even visited the site much less ordered it!
Anyone else experience this? My CC is going to investigate but I really want this company shut down! Total scam, CC fraud at it finest!
