I want to start my own business and when they called me to offer this grant I thought that this was a great way to go. However, after the lady kept asking me questions and at the end of the conversation she asked me for a way of pay for the $2.95 I became skeptical and decided not to do it. In order to get them off the phone which was very hard was to tell them to call me the next day. I decided to do some research about this company and I am very glad I found this information.

I had a chance to talk to one of their grant coaches at grant finder pro and they helped me to write a proposal and i received a grant for one year at my community college for 4250.00 I am very happy and was told I can apply ever year for this grant thank you. I figured since I was here and saw these complaints that no one ever takes the time to say something good thanks again

These people are such CROOKS! What a scam! Not one of them can speak with an american accent (obviously, they are all foreign) and all they want is your VISA # so they can steal your money and possibly your identity... I am sure they are also selling your personal information to other companies wanting to scam innocent people for I have conveniently been getting all kinds of sales and hoaky calls since GrantFinderPro came into my life. Now they won't leave for the love of GOD! I will be reporting them to the Federal Trade Commission Board and I also tried to call "JP Walker" the so called owner and he was conveniently on a phone cal at 11pm eastern standard time and also had no voicemail to be transferred to...hmmmmmmm kinda suspect!

They wanted to charge about $3 to a credit card, then told me AFTER I gave them the information that after 14 days, it would be $70 per month. I cancelled IMMEDIATELY...but had to go through my bank so nothing was charged to my account. This is a SCAM!

"James Miller", who is one of their salesman, is obviously from the middle east (their phone bank is probably in India). He was a RUDE, OBNOXIOUS ### on the phone. I told him if anything goes through on my card, there would be a MAJOR problem for them. I have dealt with ###s like this before. To everyone: contact your bank IMMEDIATELY and tell them that the only charge that you authorized was the $2.95, and DEMAND that they reverse any other charge to your account. I hate ### like these pariahs!

This company contacted me. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and check out their company and CD so i paid the $3 but told them under no circumstances were they to charge me anything else. Saturday I saw where they had charged me $69.95. I contacted the company to request my money back. The guy, who answered the phone, would not ID himself but provided the following address, 10625 North Military Gardens, Palm Beach, FL, 33410. I'm pretty sure this is a BS address as much so as the BS the "Supervisor" I spoke with was full of. When I confronted him about the charges and demanded my money back, he stated he would review the "recording" of the conversation and return my money if I stated not to charge me anything else and that he would call me back in 24hrs. Earlier today, and not to my surprise, this talented "Supervisor" stated he could not return my money because upon reviewing the "recording" he stated I agreed to the terms. When asked for him to forward a copy of this "recording" he got angry and hung up. I cancelled the CC given to him and contacted my bank to get my money back. I will also be going thru the Postal Inspector's office and filing a criminal complaint against this company for fraud. If you are a victim of this company I encourage you to do the same.

And J P Walker (I doubt this is his real name) thanks for ID'ing yourself as an owner of this company. Once I have obtained the IP address from where you sent your posting. I'll be sure to include that in my report to the Postal Inspector. May you rot in Hell.

I have received 2 phone calls from these people, so far. As soon as they requested $2.95 for sending me their "package" that I did not request...THEY called ME...I told them I would pay it COD, IF I was satisfied with their "product." Of course, they said they could only do it by debit or credit card. When they asked me again how I was going to pay, I told them again, COD. Surprise, surprise...they hung up on me!
Do they really think I was born yesterday?

A lady(rep) called us and played on my partners hope to start a business, during these hard times. He kept saying this sounds to good to be true, are you legitimate. Of, course she said yes. He ended up giving his credit card info for the $2.95, and was told of the monthly $70 to stay on their grant list. Meanwhile, I found this complaint board. Seeing the words SCAM, he immediately told her to cancel all orders. The lady said he had to call customer service. He got the number but insisted the order, specifically S & H, be completely cancelled with her, since he had just done it. She claimed she cancelled the order and all charges. Still he called customer service, and made sure it was done and got a conformation #. He also removed our # from their call list. It seemed all was taken care of, leaving perhaps some legitimacy in their corner. However, a minute later our bank called about a $2.95 charge, that raised a flag. The company did not cancel the charge as they said and he is currently on hold to dispute it! Who knows what other charges, or solicites, may come of this...
Save yourself the stress! Find out about any person or company who calls wanting any personal and payment information.
Keep your head up...there are good, honest people and companies out there. And atleast there are places like this, so they can't take advantage of us so easily!

I WAS LOOKING FOR A GRANT TO START A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED GRANT FINDERS PRO. $2.95 WAS CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT WITH MY APPROVAL FOR A TRIAL PERIOD OF 14 DAY TRIAL PERIOD.
A CD WAS SHIPPED BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE IT. I CANCELLED WITHIN THE 14 DAYS, HOWEVER, THEY CHARGED MY ACCOUNT 59.95 WITHIN 4 DAYS . I DISPUTED THE CHARGE . THEY SENT COPIES STATING THAT I HAD A 7 DAY TRIAL PERIOD. THAT'S A LIE. WHAT A SCAM. I'M STILL TRYING TO GET MY 59.95 CREDIT. THAT'S BEEN SINCE APRIL, 09

OMG! These ppl called me on Friday and I thought it was another company that I was working with so I gave them my credit card information to get the CD. For some reason the transaction would not go through on my card, so I told them that I would call them back when I checked into my credit card. After getting off the phone, I realized that it was not the company that I had been dealing with so I was relieved that my transaction didnt go thru. Well, I just checked my bank activity and noticed the GRANDFINDERPRO transaction went thru this morning. I was upset. I searched grantfinderpro.net to see if they were legit and here I am reading all this! I just got a call from the same lady on Friday and she was like the transaction went thru, blah blah blah. I told her I was upset about it going thru before I authorized it again. She gave me the big long information and told me about a 50 free gas voucher and talked so fast I couldnt get a word in. She gave me a user name and password. Plus she gave me an order number and the customer service number to cancel. I dont know. Im just gonna call right now to cancel so I dont get charged 69.95. I hope this goes smoothly or I will be contacting one of you to file this lawsuit. Thanks for the information!

People if you notify the FTC and the FBI there is a chance they will react. If enough people do so the odds will get better. This company is on record with the FTC and FBI at this point. The more complaints the better.

I also ordered the service and found it not useful. I cancelled within my trial period, and somehow "we don't see you called in to cancel" was what they were saying. Because I could not reference a "cancellation code" for them, they said I was out of luck, but will cancel it from now on. I ended up getting my money returned, I believe, because I stayed completely calm, but very stern. When she denied me for the third time, I then asked for my cancellation code, and I also asked if they were affiliated with the BBB. She said they were, and was a little taken back by my question. I then asked for her first and last name just incase I needed to go through this again next month. She apologized for my frustration and said she would issue the return and cancel my account. I think it is a scam too, but these people probably just get screamed at all day long, and that's why you have to fight for your money. Just stay calm and be logical and practical and you just might get what you ask for. Still a scam though...

Definately a scam. I got them to give me a phone number to the office they were calling from... the number I was given was [protected]. So, I am amusing this is definately outside of the US. I called back the [protected] and told them to quit calling. I asked if they were from outside the usa, and I was told no. So, I asked about the [protected]... number I was given. Then, I was told that yes, indeed, they were calling from outside the usa. I told them that I asked them a week ago to put me on their "do not call" list, but would good is that is they are out of the US. I am sure that doesn't apply to them. I pretty much just ended up getting irate and told them that I better never get a call again. So, hopefully it works.

Subject: Technological tools.

Dear Madames/ Sirs.

Since 2007, I have been participating in the struggle for the disabled in Israel - a struggle that is known to be extensively covered in the media as well.

One of the means by which we try to advance the struggle is by using various technological tools: writing on social networks, opening websites and trying to promote and improve them, managing virtual communities and so on.

My question in this regard is: Is it possible for your company or organization to offer technological tools that can help us in our struggle? And if so - in what areas, and how?

Best regards,

Assaf Binyamini,

115 Costa Rica Street,

Entrance A-Apartment 4,

Kiryat Menachem,

Jerusalem,

ISRAEL, Zip code: 9662592.

my phone numbers: at home-[protected].

Mobile-[protected]. Fax-[protected].

post Scriptum. 1) My ID number: [protected].

2) My website: https://disability5.com/

3) On 10.7.2018 I joined a social movement called "Overcome" - transparent disabled. We try to promote the rights of the transparent disabled, ie: people like me who suffer from medical problems and very serious diseases that are not conspicuously visible to the outside - external invisibility that causes very severe discrimination against us .

The movement's director, who is also its founder, is Mrs. Tatiana Kaduchkin, and can be reached at [protected].

Telephone response times: Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 to 20:00. Israel time - except for Jewish holidays and various Israeli holidays.

4) Here are some explanatory words about our movement, as they appeared in the press:

Tatiana Kaduchkin, an ordinary citizen, decided to establish the "Overcome" movement with the help of what she calls the "Transparent Disabled".

So far, about 500 people from all over the State of ISRAEL have gathered for its movement. In an interview with the Channel 7 Diary, she talks about the project and those disabled people who do not receive proper and sufficient assistance from the relevant parties, just because they are transparent.

According to her, the disabled population can be divided into two groups: disabled people with wheelchairs and disabled people without wheelchairs. She defines the second group as "transparent disabled" because she says they do not receive the same services as the disabled with a wheelchair, even though they are defined as having 75-100 percent disability. These people, she explains, cannot make a living on their own, and they need the extra services that the disabled with wheelchairs are entitled to. For example, the transparent disabled receive a low disability pension from the National Insurance Institute, do not receive certain supplements such as special services allowance, escort allowance, mobility allowance and they also receive a lower allowance from the Ministry of Housing.

According to a study conducted by Kaduchkin, these transparent disabled people are hungry for bread despite the attempt to claim that in Israel in 2016 there are no people hungry for bread. The study she conducted also states that the suicide rates among them are high.

In the movement she founded, she works to include the transparent disabled on waiting lists for public housing. This is because she says they do not usually enter these lists even though they are supposed to be eligible. She holds quite a few meetings with Knesset members and even participates in meetings and discussions of relevant committees in the Knesset, but she says those who are able to help do not listen and the listeners are in opposition and therefore cannot help.

She is now calling on more and more "transparent" disabled people to join her, to turn to her so that she can help them. In her estimation, if the situation continues as it is today, there will be no escape from a demonstration of the disabled who will claim their rights and the basic conditions for their livelihood.
