On 12/23/08 I was performing a web search for grant information and came upon a site that states several web sites are rip offs but the "Grantforyoutoday.com" was a genuine grant web site and was rated as on of the top 10 picks by people searching for grant information. Well to say the least, I tried the site and ordered the "FREE" material by paying a the shipping fee ($2.95) using my bank debit card.
On 12/27/08 I was reviewing my online banking and noticed a purchase indicating (Pre auth 50 MILLION GRANTS LOC: 866-524-7488 -$68.13). I did not authorize this debit to my account.
I immediatedly called my bank and they told me they could not dispute this amount just yet because it has not cleared. They said maybe it would not clear at all so just wait. They did not advise me to close the account or cancel the debt card.
I further researched this situation and have decided though it is an expense and and inconvenience, I will close the checking account and cancel the debt card today (12/27/08).
Thanks to the complaint folks!
