In April I contacted MGR to obtain a new business start up grant. Daniel Foster contacted me, took some pertitent information, and called me back 2 days later with "Good News! You've been approved for your grant". I accepted the offer and faxed all of the contract pages to my attorney, he too thought what a great company! I sent the $350 and answered the seemingly endless pages of questions, waited the 6 - 8 weeks for my mysterious packet, it NEVER came.
I started calling in September of I have pages of calls and e-mails that were never returned. I finally did reach Robert Freeman in Dec he could not apologize enough for the agencies delay but, since I have been so patient, he would process a refund for me and continue to work on my behalf in obtaining my grant.
On March 1 my long awaited packet arrived. There was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING regarding my grant request. I did however, learn how to contact the VA for death benefits for my much alive veteran husband. I have tried calling but now the phone goes directly to voicemail and I can't even yell at the poor slob on the other end of the line for satisfaction.
I'm here to tell you that there is NO SUCH THING as a new business start up grant!
