NATIONAL GRANTS CONFERENCES Please be aware Nationwide

Well. I signed up several years ago and I paid $1000 and spent several days supposedly getting educated. I had lots of questions and their customer service or coaches never returned my calls. I then moved to another state and totally forgot about the program. Several years later after watching their convincing infomercial I decided to wipe the dust off their package and they reinstated my membership for $400 and sent me a new set of books geared for my state. I then had the same issue with customer service.... basically no service.

A couple of months went by and I saw another infomercial and now I really got interested so I called customer service and they gave me a pass for the conference and I thought they did the right thing. Well after the first day I saw the dog and pony show immediately so I went over to talk to one of their reps to discuss my disappointment in their customer service and he talked me into a $2995 and guaranteed me that I will receive customer service since I was gonna be a power 2000 member. Now, shmuck me fell for it and forked over the money. I started to work on the program and had lots of questions again and this time I didnt let go. I finally received a tiny box with a CD in it which had to be activated well, the activation code didnt work and I spent days trying to talk to someone and that never happened. Finally someone called me back and gave me a number to activate the CD. While I was on the phone with the 3rd party she mentioned to me that this service will be charged to card at a rate of $29.99 and what this service does is gets you foreclosure leads. I decided not to continue with the activation since Ive been buying foreclosures for almost 7 years and I subscribe to a fabulous service that notifies me of a NOD filings within 15 minutes of filing. I tried to get a hold of customer service again and I did receive a return phones call stating that a coach will call me within 7 days and he cannot pinpoint a time because the staff is moving from New York to Florida. This didnt sit right with me so I called sales and asked for a refund and I was informed that since I opened the package Im not entitled to a refund. I tried charging back the charge and my bank didnt cooperate with me since I used a bankcard.

The biggest kicker that as a for profit business you get s**t for a grant. Its that simple, you need to be a 501c3 not-for-profit. I since signed up with another company and its working great so far. How can we stop these crooks?

I think we all need to write to our Attorney General and block them from coming into our states and blast them on the internet and whenever they do show up in your state, sit in the lobby with a poster about the scammers and hand out fliers.
