Grant Funding Search outright deception just to rob my bank account, this is my money, not yours!! Henderson Nevada

I was curious about possible grant monies that might be available to help me buy a small business. Grant Funding Search was recommended on another web site because the cost of the disc was only $1.98. I followed the link and sure enough, they advertised the disc for the stated amount.

I ordered the disc and received a confirmation e-mail, copied and pasted here with personal information removed:

**COLLECT YOUR SPECIAL BONUS**

I probably should have been clued in by the reference to "free trial", but it really never occured to me that I would be charged such a large amount without explicit consent. $69.95 to be exact.

I have some issues with my internet service and my computer. I live in a dead zone and have sporaitic internet service, it can be hours, days or even weeks between signal strong enough to log onto the web sites listed in the e-mail. My computer issue is the fact that it will not recognize any CD/DVD.

Since there was no paperwork sent with the disc, I didn't know what exactly I was supposed to "read carefully". (must have been the web page) There was no mention in the e-mail regarding future charges, so I assumed this "free trial" would not start until I could actually log onto the site....but I was sincerely mistaken.

A few days later I discovered that I had been robbed, I called to express my displeasure, and was told there was nothing they would do to reverse the charges because "it is clearly stated in the terms and conditions" that this "bonus material" is not free!! I searched the web site and finally found the terms and conditions referred to hidden in the bonus material description... Very deceptive in any estimation.

I went through the same scenario with Ideal Wealth Builder Club, but they did refund the charges.

In conclusion I was never charged the original $1.98 for the disc, which leads me to believe this was a scam from the beginning.
