I purchased a cd from a company called grant master that had information telling what companies are best to deal with to obtain a government grant.
As i searched i found a company called venture capital financial that had several listings in different locations. I fillied out an information questionarie
and i was contacted by a lady calling herself francise reed. She explained that she was a representative from venture capital financial and said that they specialized in getting government grants for small businesses.
After getting more information from me she said that i had been approved for $100,000.00 she went on to explain that a proposal must still be submitted for the government's records. She stressed that a deadline must be met in order to keep the money that i was approved for from going to someone else.
Knowing that writting a grant was difficult she said that they had a professional team of grant writters that would make sure all aspects of my proposal would meet what was required by the government for a one time fee
of $439.00 she than sent all of this information to my e-mail alone with a consent form to stress that i was for sure approved for the grant or i was going to get a full refund. I sent them money orders certified mail and i got the return cards back in the mail.
I called to speak with my rep. Francise to see how everything was progressing and to my suprise the toll free # 866-875-5366 and the # 908-280-0413 which called me from are both disconnected.
I did not jump into this without checking the with the BBB, they were listed as a non-accredited company with the address and toll free #, and they had 0 complaints for the last 36 months so i assumed that it was all good.
I was wrong!!!
