I was also scammed by these people. I thought they would only charge the $1.99 for the download. Unfortunately, I used a debit card.
Somebody told me once never to use a debit card for web transactions. I should have listened.
Thanks to 'Enough' for telling how to find the fine print. I agree that the grant information might be valuable/legit, or it might not, but the scam is disgusting.
Why does the banking industry always side with a business and not the consumer?
I was told all I could do is to cancel the debit card to prevent further debits, which I did. However, even though the transaction was 'pending', they wouldn't cancel it! Even after I TOLD them it was definitely unauthorized.
So... Hopefully someone else can be spared this nightmare.
