I saw a ad on my email account about grant money being available. I looked at the information and it said it was with Grant Resources. As I read it gave price of $2.95 for a CD or you could get instant access for the program for $1.95 credit card payment.

I accepted the $1.95 charge and set up an account on line. I breezed through some of the information on Grants, but I had to leave. I did not get back to looking any more at the site.

I got a credit card charge of $58.61. When I call the phone number on my bank statement listed as My Grant Dollars" the representive asked first for my Zip Code, then the first letter of my last name, and then my address. He then asked if I wanted to cancel my account.I asked him before I said if I wanted to cancel what the $58.61 charge was for. He told me it was a monthly charge.

I quizzed him about the charges and stated that the only charge I saw on the site was the $1.95 charge. I told him I never saw anything about a monthly charge. He said it was there next to the sign up information boxes and that I signed up with "Grant Access Club".
The internet site I was signing in with was listed as "Grant Resource" not "Grant Access Club".
There was not a monthly charge on the Grant Resource Site.

YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO LOOK FOR IT!

JUST AS YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO LOOK FOR AND READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO KNOW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR!

GRANTS come from the Government - And the Information about them is FREE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!


NO SHIPPING AND HANDLING - WOW WHAT A CONCEPT!

Did you read the Terms & Conditions of the TRIAL you were signing up for? My guess is no because those trials ALL state in the T & C that if you do not call to cancel within X days, you are agreeing to be enrolled in a monthly membership at $x.xx It is YOUR responsibility to always read everything you are agreeing to before giving our your credit card info.

The site will also tell you who the actual billing company is... usually it's not the same name as is on the product because they sell more than one.
