Chance For Grants Fraudulent Services Internet Charged the amount of $39.95 for grant infomation I couldn't obtain, but received several e-mails offering services for additional $40.00 each. Internet

On December 1, 2003, I filled out a form over the Internet to subscribe to services supposed to help people find, and apply for grants. On that day I was charged the amount of $39.95 but I have never been able to obtain any information.

I would still like to get a grant; however, this was obviously the wrong start. The fraudulent add was mentioning 60,000 grant-giving organizations in the United States. It even mentioned that "the goal is to offer a large assortment of information that can be used to give you a good place to start." Though I paid the amount requested, I still have not reached that first step. Neither have I been given more information about the 57 federal agencies the add mentions.

I have not been able to apply for any grant. I subscribed but did not get anything in return. The processing of this application seemed to be serious but in fact, one must admit, it is a serious scam.
