I ordered a Free Government Grant CD, on 3/30/09, via https://grantsearch. Securemediabox.com / website for $1.98. I have my receipt proofing that my CD was free and I was only charged $1.98 for shipping, plus the website states the same thing. When I obtained my receipt it let me know that they also signed me up automatically for other (bonus) programs, which I immediately called to try and cancel. I obtained the run around and had to wait 24 hours for them to be able to find me in their system. They were able to find me the next day and finally after a lot of pushing back, they canceled my account that I never agreed to sign up for in the first place.
On April 2 I called, Grant Funding Search Customer Service at 1-888-210-2544, to ensure that I would not be charged any charges related to their website http://grantfundingsearch.com. They told me on the phone that I cancelled within the timeframe (7 days) and they said they would send me an email that my account was indeed cancelled. I did obtain the email which basically stated that my online account was cancelled as of 4/3/09.
On 4/10, I noticed that I was charged $69.95 via my Debit Card and it was deducted out of my checking account…. 4/10 MC-DRI*8882102544GRANTFND 888-210-2544 -$69.95
I tried emailing their Customer Support @ [email protected] but they don’t bother to respond back. I have tried calling them @ 888-210-2544 with no success. If I am lucky enough to get someone to answer the phone, they immediately place me on hold and never get back with me; or the line will all of a sudden be disconnected. The people answering the phones are hard to understand, since English is their second language.
This is the biggest SCAM out on the Internet. I am very unhappy to have been lied to and to have my money taken out of my account without my permission. And how do I know that they won’t continue to taking money out of my account. I will be filing Fraudulent Charges/Activity form via my Bank, so this will be reported to our State Banking Commission of the fraudulent activities happening. It will be investigated and hopefully this website will be shut down soon, so this doesn’t happen to others.
