Look out! If you sign up for your 'free' Grant Writing Express CD, you are also agreeing to paying $54.96 / month, once your first 'free' month is over. That information is in small type near the end of the pages. I did not see it. When I discovered the charge, I phoned to complain. The best I could get was a 50% refund.
Any time it's 'free' be sure to read ALL the fine print. I didn't, and got whopped.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
On 2/20/09 I authorized a $3.95 charge on my credit card to cover the S&H of a CD from this Company. The CD was supposed to provide information re: government grants. I have yet to receive the CD.
On 5/4/09 I discovered a $74.95 charge deducted from my account from this company. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE ANY SUCH CHARGE!
The Merchant phone number listed for this Company is actually the number for toll-free telephone directory assistance outfit. And surprise... they do not have a listing for this Company.
I plan to contact the authorities in Nevis and take appropriate legal action.

I authorized a $3.95 charge to my debit card for a software CD which I received in one week. About one week later the company charged another $74.95 to my card unauthorized.
I too was scammed by these a%^*holes after repeatedly calling that no end toll free number I finally managed to talk to a human. She promised me a full refund of 3.95 and the additional 74.95 they took out of my account. I didn't know at the time about the 29.95 they took out over last weekend by newspin. I went to the bank to dispute the charges and cancel my debit card and found out they had in fact credited my account for all charges except the 29.95 which I'll more than likely play hell getting back. When I got through to their automated answering system they wanted an extension number, just by chance I tried 111 and got through! I hope you all have luck getting your money back. I'm out 29.95 which stings but not as bad as the 80.00 I would have been scammed out of. The feds should locate the adress in the carribien and drop a bomb on them. Good luck
Be sure to call your credit card or your bank (in the event you used a debit card, as I did) and ask for them to cancel your card and get a replacement card (with a different number) so these fckers can't ever charge against the number you provided. This is really important to do.
Warning! Grant writing express is a big RIPOFF I agreed to only 3.95 had agut feeling something was up so I canceled my bank card, they were still able to get 29.95 before it was cancelled.I called and they said they would return the money, still no money. THIEFS SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL WERE THEY BELONG!
Once the billing begins, you should just forget about contacting them other than to officially request they close your "account". They're just snickering at you when you naively ask for your money back. That's not their job. Their job is to ### you, bounce you around, give you a glimmer of hope, then take some more money. To them, you're just another greedy ### who wanted something for nothing, and deserves to get screwed. over and over.
They took us for almost $150. I recouped through our bank, but I'd like to rent a bus, drive around the country picking up all the victims of this scam, and head for 2710 Thomas Ave., Cheyenne, Wyoming, to deprive these sleazy carnival-workers of their rights and body parts.
In the meantime, here's an idea. Contact the Cheyenne/Nevis chambers of commerce. Tell them there's a bunch of "city-fied" ripoffs from Florida (not Ocala) hiding at 2710 Thomas Ave, and Cheyenne is becoming known around the country for being home-base for this kind of criminal activity. What would John Wayne think?!
Contact or call the local papers just outside of Cheyenne, as they'd be more likely to want to find some dirt in that town that's "down the road, a might"...
What the heck...Send the governer a letter. Hell, it's just Wyoming. He'll be happy to get a letter even if he "CAIN'T" read it.
btw: Google up Phil Piccolo. He's the fat greaseball behind all this...a one-man internet crime wave.
I Ordered a 3.95 product on 2/ 20/09 sence then I have been billed extra $1.99, $74.99 and $94.89. Causing a over draft. "SOB'S" Warning do not buy from
"GRANT WRITING EXPRESS"
I'm a small business owner and I also thought I was just paying shipping of $3.95 on a free cd, which I was charged. I was given access to members only area, but that was seriously lacking any information. You aren't told of any user agreement until later after the ordering the disk, in an email they disclose that you are automatically enrolled in a membership that will cost you 72.95 a month unless you cancel before the end of the 7 day trial period to use their website. I canceled two days prior to that cutoff. I never received the cd, but was charged again for $29.95 from my debit card. I have tried to contact and all I get is a busy signal! What a scam, and I'm not easy to scam.
