Nexus Financial Rich Allen and Candy Benson Grant Writer for Government Grants Tampa, Florida

In late November I was contacted by Steven Byer that our company qualified for a government grant. A man by the name of Steven Byer from Washington DC @ 202-559-6992 gave us a grant proposal number and said he was referring us to a grant writing office named Nexus Financial in Tampa, FL.  I said no problem and then proceeded to do some checks on this company through BBB and fraud checks.  At that time nothing pulled up and they received a A rating with BBB. 

I received a call from Rick Allen at Nexus Financial. He explained the whole process which matched
perfectly up with the grant process that I had already researched.  He said I could get back with him the next day if we were going to proceed.  When we called back he spoke to me and my husband for about an hour and gave us a list of instructions and information that we to completed and submit to a grant writer named Candy Benson and pay $490.00 dollars by cashier's check.  We were told to send the cashier's check to Accounting/Client Services department at 2250 NW 114TH AVE UNIT 1P, MIAMI FL 33172 and then call with the tracking number of the check and postal service tracking number which we did. He was very professional as I expected in this service. We signed a contract with Nexus Financial 5010 W CARMEN ST  TAMPA, FL 33609  with a money back guarantee and full disclosure agreement and signature page.  I fully expected that we were getting the break we so needed in such tough times.  We were told our package for the 9 page grant proposal would arrive between Dec 12-16 and that we had a time crunch do to the end of the year. 

I spent the last two weeks trying to get in touch with Mr. Allen and leaving messages to find out the status of the grant proposal package we were waiting on. No one answers and I have not received a call back.  Today I saw we were not the only ones hit by this and my heart just fell.  We could have used that $490.00 to buy materials for our business.  I am will to join others in tying to get my money back.  Please don't fall for this scam.  It is hurting many people and they need to be held accountable for this scam.  The list of names to look for are RICK ALLEN AND CANDY BENSON AND THE MAN FROM WASHINGTON NAMED STEVEN BYER (OR MEYER) AND NEXUS FINANCIAL GROUP.
