First I was suckered by a $1.98 Grant Funding CD offer recommended by a "Grants for Women" website. It was recommended with sunshine and rainbows and looked to be legitimate, and why not for only $1.98? I should have trusted my gut and not trusted what has turned out to be a costly scam!
Shortly after receiving my CD, charges began to appear on my bank statement: $69.95 for Grant Funding Research, then $29.95 for IWB Club Las Vegas! I could not recall signing up for any sort of subscription to either of these. I called the $69.95 charge number and instructed them to cancel it. I asked how this charge appeared and was told that when I bought the CD, I also bought a subscription. He was willing to cancel it, but not willing to refund the charge. This was just last week.
I just noticed the $29.95 charge today, and received a recording when I called the number. I researched IWB online and found another complaint site that says the ACTUAL phone number is 866-607-1071 which is not the number listed on my bank statement. This site also says that IWB has over 500 complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Make that over 501 as I am filing a complaint right now. Several people on this site stated that they were unable to get their money refunded and were unable to get their banks to stop the charges.
