NetworkAgenda.com review: Taking $9.95 from my account! 254

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Apparently for the past 3 mos now I've been also charged $7.95/mo.
I am calling Macy's now & I think the best way is to call up your credit line, place your complaint... I am on the phone w/ them now.

This networkagenda.com should get sued. I mean how sneaky that they take a small sum per month. It all adds up, in a year's time to $95.40. Wow!

Those thing is not the amt really. It's that I never use my Macy's card! So, my unsuspecting a$$ will disregard a bill b/c I am so sure that the balance is 0. But, lo and behold the balance has been pending seven bucks for two months now.

Unauthorized usage of my debit card after i had cancelled the order of a stupid CD. i have since gotten an overdraft on my account because i was supposed to have money in there, but they took it without my permission. Four times, ($9.95; $7.95; $9.95; $7.95) so therfore, i am out alot of money. and also $40.00 in overdraft charges.I want it back including overdraft charges. If needbe I will get ahold of the Better Business Bureau and sue you for lost money, overdraft charges, embarassment and also the loss of credit that i have worked hard my whole life to establish.

Who do these people think they are, going into peoples bank accounts and take out money without them knowing about it? Network Agenda got into my account and it put me into the red, so I got stuck with an overdraft charge. Maybe I should get me a lawyer. Maybe if enough people got lawyers they might stop getting into people's accounts

I just don't want these charges on my credit card again. I don't even know what Networkagender is. So don't charge me again.

I really have never heard of Networkagenda.com before; therefore I was surprised today when I checked my account and found out this company have charged me for $9.95. The only thing comes to my mind is a Grant Master CD I asked for which I was supposed to pay only for shipping and handling for 2.95. I really don't know how this happened; but through reading all the complaints on the web, I join the crew in trying to stop this scam.

I ordered and paid for a CD from Grant Search Assistant in Nov. 2007. I was given 10 days to cancel or my credit card would be billed. I called to cancel 8-9 days after I first ordered the CD. When I was asked why I was canceling, I told them they had nothing on their website that would be beneficial to me. I was told my order would then be canceled and given a confirmation number. The confirmation number was inadvertently thrown away by a member of my family while we were cleaning house.

I never did receive the CD I pd for; however my credit card is being billed every month by Network Agenda for $9.95/mo, and by BSM/SBA Express for $7.95/mo. I have filed a request with my credit card company to stop payment to these entities, however the charges are continuing to mount up. They have taken a total of $89.50 out of my credit card so far, and so far I have not been able to do anything to stop this from happening.

I am EXTREMELY upset about this. I was told the only thing I could do was to cancel my credit card and try to get another one, and that HOPEFULLY this ripoff would end. When a person calls and requests something to be stopped, the companies have an ethical responsibility to stop. This is obviously a company who has absolutely NO INTENTION of stopping any charges, whether or not they have been asked to so by the consumer.

Sent e-mail to the ryan address with reference numbers for NETWORKAGENDA.CO. Will be following up with phone call. What else is being done about this company and that BSM/SBA EXPRESS and the Grant Master CD. I think the legal system needs to get involved and I think that internet providers need to provide better security of accounts they allow to access the internet. If they have a complaint system and get numerous complaints about a service, suspend that services privilege to be on the internet.

So over a month ago I ordered a CD from Grant Master and read that I would need to pay $2.99 for shipping. I used my wifes bank card and just realized today that two weeks ago and this passing week they Charged two amounts for $39.95 twice and $7.95. Total so far i have almost lost $90 and whose to say it will stop there. It really upsets me to see this site going cause that means that hope of any of us getting our money back is not only going to be a really long process but, I might as well use the time I was going to be spending looking for money for school on nailing their butts to the wall and raping the company of all funds. That's if they even have our money still.

I signed up for Grantmaster and then cancelled my subscription. I then received 2 charges to my credit card. One from Networkagenda.com and one from BSM/BSAExpress. When I contacted them, both companies stated that when I signed up for Grantmaster I also signed up with them and since I did not call them to cancel they charged my account. Both stated that they would refund my credit card.

I have a Tribute Credit Card account and they have been charging my credit card every month $9.95 for a one time fee. It was for a Grant which was for ST

George UT. My name is Daniel Lee Troost. Can your company do something for me? I have Prepaid Legal Policy and will have them take the company to court and sue them for many times over what they have been taking money out of my account. Prepaid Legal Inc. has the top 11% attorneys in the country working for them and they will provide this service for me.

I also have become a victim of Network Agenda. I will be filing
a complaint with Raven Media, the company that started this
problem. I cancelled with them within 21 days. Most of these
websites say they don't share your info.. wrong! I never heard
of Network Agenda!

I did not authorize this company to take money from my account. They have charged me for grant info that was supposed to be 1.95 only and charged me 19.95 and it cost me a twenty dollar service fee for overdraft. They then charged me for download of software I didn't order as I dont' have a computer at home that is hooked to the internet this was a 9.95 charge and again I was charged 20.00 service fee I know exactly how much i have in my account as i am DISABLED and have to use my money for meds. food, clothes, and my children to whom i am sole support. I want my money back in my account immediately along with the service charges. They were made to my account illegally and without my consent.

I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. There are no commitments with the free product. However, there is a bonus free trial period to membership websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated 4 times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation, it is then also explained in the 1st paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. We would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer. That is why we have the Terms and Disclosures are posted on the sales site directly above or below the "Ship My Kit" Button depending on the site you order from.

Here are the Terms and Disclosures that is directly below or above ( depending on the site you order from) the "Ship My Kit" Button.

Terms and Disclosures. By clicking "Submit", I am ordering the Grant Master CD™ and trial membership for $1.99 for Shipping and $1.00 for Handling/Insurance, after the 7 day trial I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to Express Business Funding™ and Network Agenda™ for $7.95 a month and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy & Terms & Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as "GRANTSEARCHASST". For questions, call [protected].

For customer service you may call [protected] Monday thru Friday 9am to 9pm Eastern Standard Time and they'll be happy to assist you.

The Information on our Grant Master CD is general information that you can find for free on the internet. We have gathered the information and put it on an easy to access and navigate CD for your PC. This saves our clients the time and let’s face it frustration of having to search out this information on their own. That is why our Grant Master CD is free and you only pay $2.99 for the Shipping and Handling. Along with the Grant Master CD you receive a 7 day free trial to our Grant Resource center. This is our members website were you will be able to learn the entire process on how to write and submit a grant proposal. It is easy to start utilizing the Grant Resource Center by simply watching the tutorial videos that explain how to access all of the features on the site. Our team of writers headed by acclaimed Grant expert Dr. Porter provides a monthly cover story that provides the newest information on grants and grant related topics.

So we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. We offer all this for a reasonable monthly fee of $39.95. Ordering our Grant Master CD also includes two fast action bonuses. The first fast action bonus is for Express Business Funding (EBF) which has a 14 day free trial. This program is designed to help customers through each step necessary to obtain a loan for a small business. This includes researching and putting together a business plan, presenting that plan to the SBA, filling out a loan application, and anything else that may be needed along the way. After the trial period, it is a reduced monthly membership fee of $7.95 because you are already a member of another of our programs. The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda an affiliate company. That offers an online date book service that will allow you to keep track of your daily schedule and will even send you reminders to your email and or cell phone. After the 21 day free trial the service is $9.95 a month membership fee. We offer these trial periods to give our clients a chance to use our service and see the value of it for themselves, before they are billed for it.

I have alot of charges on my credit card that I have not auturorized. I just looked at your site and it is very missleading.If it says free it means free if you are saying that after a certain amount of time you have to unsuscribe than you should make it clear and recive authorization.This looks like a scam.My credit card company is looking into this matter as to what legal action they will take.If you have proof of a signature for this than show it.

This company repeatedly charged my account for $9.95 a month. I did not purchase anything from them or request their services. I called to complain but they provided no contact information. They could not tell me what was supposedly paying for. I want this investigated so others do not get caught in this same scam.

I'm sorry to have to complain about this situation, but when I got my statement from the bank I notice there was a charge for 9.95 on my account, and I did not authorize this transaction. If my debit card was used it was not used by me. I have not recieved anything from you, because I keep up witheverything I get from the internet and you are nowhere to be found. I'm asking for you to please to put my money back into the my account. If I have to take further ation I will, but I hope this want be nessecary. Please email me when you have corrected the problem so I can fix my account and disregard the charge I never made.
Thank You

I requested information from a grants company online to see about qualifying my mother who was gravely ill for possible monetary help. Nothing was apparent that this Networkagenda.com was going to scam money out of our account for services we never used. I contacted my bank and filed a fraud complaint and they are changing information to prevent recurring charges. I also contacted the FBI's website - ic3.gov and filed a complaint. I have also contacted the local BBB, my state attorney generals office AARP and several other influential agencies to alert people about this organization. What reputable company would hide their policies in lengthy small print to gouge you in small amounts that they knowingly hope you miss? What a horrible way to do business. They should be shut down.

FYI Ryan R from Raven Media is also involved with GrantMaster.com. He has responded to a complaint on the GrantMaster Complaint Board. I got ripped off from Grantmaster for over 39.95 plus 2 other companies are taking $7.95 and $9.95 a month. Somehow (?) I got to this board and saw Ryan R. and knew this is a much bigger scam than we may have thought. I am going to file complaints with The Attorney Generals office, comsumer affairs, and any other department I can think of. Any suggestions, ideas on how to do something about this post it here. I have filed a dispute with my bank and will send them copies of these postings.

called my credit card co again this am. Wanted to cancel the card. This time the fellow was very nice and helpful. He filed a dispute for all charges and credited me back all the charges from GGrant Master, network Agenda and one other company. He even credited me the over limit fee (another thingnthese companies did) Cancelled my card and issued me a new one. They will investigate alll 3 of them. I will still report them even though my Credit card company is.
