On 1/11/09, I ordered a $1.98 CD from this site on Grants for women. On 1/20/09, I was surprised to see my bank card was charged $69.95 payable to Grant Funding Search.
I never received any confirmation email of my first transaction so after noticing the new charges, I searched my emails for anything relating to this whereby I might have missed the fine print and agreed to a service. There was nothing in my inbox, spam, deleted, or saved folders.
I called my bank and they gave me the phone number (888-210-2544) for Grant Funding Search, debit transaction on 1/11/09. The new charges were on hold until the next business day and the information was not accessable.
I called the number late last night and got an answering machine informing me it was after business hours, leave a message and I would be contacted the next day or I could email them at [email protected]. At the end of their message, I was told I could not leave a voice message???
I emailed them twice already and have received no reply. I called the phone number during business hours today and was placed on hold waiting for the next available assistant. After a short wait, the same voice on the answering machine took my call. This person was unable to verify any account information without my bank account number which I refused to disclose, other than the last four digits.
Finally, I informed this person I would like my money refunded as this site is reported as a scam. I was told I ordered a CD for $1.98 and was granted access to their website and agreed to their terms and conditions that unless I cancelled the service within seven days I would be charged $69.95 per month.
In closing, I adamantly expressed my desire to cancel this service NOW. My request was verbally honored with the following reply." All though we regret you are cancelling your service, we want you to know we appreciate the opportunity of doing business with you."
