Grant Masters review: Unauthorized debit card charge 201

How do I cancel this stupid thing. I have 2 charges on one day in June '09 of 38.34 and one charge for 38.34 in July '09. And where is my "kit" that will come "2-3 weeks" . It's been 3 months...and nothing but money coming out of my account. I've called all the numbers I have even Ryan (above) number and they either don't answer, bad number or they hang up on me. I just want it to stop! How the heck do I cancel if I can't get anyone to talk to me?!

I feel the same way. Grant masters has charge 38.34 twice and I too have no idea who or what this company is . I did call the number that was listed beside my charge and she stated I would be refunded the last charge but that I would have to email Corp office because no phone or person to talk to. I emailed and got response that my account would be reviewed and if refund due it would be 4-6 weeks

Twice the amount of $38.84 has been deducted from my bank account for nothing that I am signed up for, please have them stopped.

I was charged $26.62 on my credit card. I did not authorize this charge. This needs to be stopped. All I did was go onto their website and was charged. I did not sign anything or agree to the free trial period. This is a rip off!

I am complaing of the fact that $45.51 was taken from my credit card for nothing! I received a phone call about 2 months ago to sign up for FREE grant INFORMATION and I declined to everything else ...Now I am being billed for something I have no access to...NOT IMPRESSED...I want my money back!

There is an unauthorized debit applied to my account. I made no such purchase, neither did my wife. The Grant Masters [protected] entry dated today 06-20-09) is false for US $ 38.34 ( CAD 44.56) and must be cancelled, stopped, terminated, immediately! Apparently it was made by someone in another state. Obviously, someone has somehow obtained my account information and used it illegally, without my authorization. PLEASE cancel this transaction immediately!

GRANT MASTERS CHARGED $24.87 ON MY VISA, WITHOUT MY CONSENT, MY CANCELLATION # IS RR609

I WANT MY VISA CREDITED NOW!

After reporting this several months ago, I noticed on my credit card statement that these charges were coming up again and all in different phone numbers and companies. I called the number and disputed the charges with my credit card company. I had to get a new number to further avoid charges on my account. There was a cancellation number given to me by the representative as CX#[protected].

The same thing has happen to me . I didn't order anything online, but when I look at my bank statement there was $34.34 taken out of my account twice. I call the same number [protected] and they gave me some codes to fax to the company so I can get my refund back. I faxed it four times. So, I went back online to seach for the company and I found this website here.

My complaint is the same as the rest. Unauthorized bank acct charges of $38.34, in may and june statements. I want my money back from these internet thieves, now!. These people must be caught and prosecuted for their crimes. Please let me know how i can help...Alos i was given the same online address/with #rr609 to get my refund. I spoke with "rogue"/probable not the real name, and was given a cancellation #[protected], on july 11/0

I checked my Visa Debit Card statement and found out that is company took $38.34 from my account twice on 7/24/09. I did even order in thing online for them to get my information. I called my banking company, they didn't even know who this company was. So, they gave me the number [protected] for the Customer Services. The man gave me two codes to fax to [protected], so I did that four times.

I haven heard anything back yet.

Ha, I don't think they have supervisors or managers. Today I was told by operator 1 "I'm sorry our supervisor is on break" operator 2 "Our supervisor is on another phone call" operator 3 "My supervisor is in a meeting" To which I laughed, this was within 10 minutes of each other. I got hung up on by operator 2. Operator 3 finally told me there offices are in the Phillipines, but they have U.S offices to, I asked for a phone number for the U.S office and was told they don't have one! (REALLY?!?!?) A business (I mean scam) office with no phone number. There U.S. office is supposedly in OREM UT. I'd love to call authorites on them... but who? Our charges have been 74.38 blazing words of which they say they have credited 72.21 but I have not seen it. and 39.49 from grant masters of which they say they have credited 38.something but I haven't seen that either. I called june 28th to request refund was told 7-10 business days, now it's july 29th I've called three times this month, they just keep telling me to call back in couple of days. I think the only thing preventing us from further charges is that this is a debit account that is not our primary and we've only got about 20.00 in there for the last month...

I am also having money taken from my account by this company
it was $77.82 for two month .I never use the service, it was a trial offer, after the trail offer they should the end the service, then email you to see if you would like to receive the service not just charge you for it. I will never apply for service again for a grant
with this company.

Call this number - [protected], I have been charged since May also, but since they keep changing the name of the biller I just thought it was something I bought. Through this phone number they cancelled my subscription to Blazing and Adword and Grang Master. When I asked them why did they kept changing the name they said that they did that to see which name sounded better! WHATEVER! This time they sent an email confirmation that the account has been cancelled.

I've been receiving charges on my debit card from $9.95 to $39.95 and I did NOT apply for any of these. I went into a web site to check out grant money and all I had to pay was $1.95 for shipping or so they said! I started getting charged more every month. I quickly called and canceled everything and I still have charges trickling in every week. The new one today doesn't even give a telephone number to call. So now I'm searching ways to email my UNsubscription. The only recourse that I can see is getting a different debit card! If this is happening to me, it's happening to thousands of other people.

Before discovering that my wife had already looked into Grant Masters, late one night I thought I would give their program a look. When granted "instant access" after giving them my credit card info I discovered how difficult it was to navigate through their site and after about an hour I was so worn out that I decided to call it quits and go to bed. The next morning I called and canceled which didn't seem too hard. I think I only had to wait around 10 minutes before speaking to an Asian woman who spoke fairly comprehendable English. However 30 days later I found a charge for $38.34 on the 24th of June 2009. I called the following day (another 10 min wait) to where I talked to another Asian from the Philippines who gave me a cancellation number and told me it would be 8-10 business days before posting back into my account...nothing, it didn't post so I called them back on the 13th of July and got but another cancellation number...nothing, so on the 24th of July I called again and this time I got pissy and told them I wanted to talk to their manager who of course was on the phone. So after hanging up I called my bank and filed a discrepancy which was what I should have done to begin with.
So my advise is don't even call them. Just call your bank and have them go after them. Hopefully everyone who requested refunds will get their money back before they go belly up. Signed Disgruntled.

This is the second month that 24.87 has been withdrawn from my account one number says the offices are closed call back during office hours but never gives the hours of business. The other number is a non-working number. I will be changing my account and would like to know who authorized these deductions.

Today the 3 August 2009 I checked my account details that I have with Halifax PLC to find 2 withdrawls made from my account supposedly made online using my debit card. I have complained to my bank that I have never heard of or had any dealings with this company, which I have only just found out is a bank in Jacksonville. I have declared the transactions as fraudulent to my bank. It seems this bank seems to make a habit of taken peoples money. Let me just say for the record that I have no dealings with this bank neither do I have any connection through any other person or company with this bank to my knowledge, what concerns me is that they knew enough about my debit card to make a withdrawl against it.

I ordered the kit on 6-07-09, they told me that I would receive the kit in 3-7 business days. I had not gotten ything in 1-weeks time. But I was charged the full amount of 77.82, . At that time I was told when I signed up, that I had 1 week to just try it out and then if I deceided Wwthat I wanted to keep it then I would be charged 77.82 a month, for different grants to try out. But before I could get the kit through the mail, I got 77.82 taken out of my account, I had not gave my permission to even touch my account. Then 4 days later they took another 77.82, out of my account again, and a 62 cent charge twice. So that was 156. dollars taken out of my accouint in less than 2 weeks. I had still not received that kit, yet.When I tried to call and explain to get my money back, since that is what honest people would do. I thought it was a mistake, I gave them plenty of time to put back my money, so they seemed like it was't a big deal to them, and kept putting me off. Now they have changed phone numbers and websites, so I'm not sure what to do at this point, but to file a lawsuite. But I hope maybe you can help me, I really don't want to do that, I just want my money back and I learned a valuable lesson here. Thank-you.

I did'nt authorize $38.34 I was charged on 6/29/2009. I demand a refund.

I have some good new. I did get my money back from the company, after my bank got invoided. I got $84.25. I thank God for my money back.

Oh wow I am not the only vicitim that doesnt make this fraud any better tho. Mind you . I am from overseas and got ripped off by these mylife, com or saveace for a damn thing I didnt do heck I didnt even know of these . I found out and found you all here by doing a google research. FBI got informed, the fraud dpt of my credit card institute as well and I get the crime police of my country in too if needed. My CC is blocked and deactivated anyway and I took this $24, 95 off of my bill and paid what was left; now the bank will withdraw it if they didnt already do and get it back.

THESE ARE THE BIGGEST THIEFS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! YOU GUYS WRITE FREE TRIAL OR INITIAL FEE OF 1.99 IN BIG LETTERS BUT DONT MENTION THAT YOU WILL BE CHARGING ME LIKE CRAZY OF $38.34 ALL THE TIME... LEAVE THAT TO THE SIDE THE NONSENSE DUMB PACKAGE NEVER CAME TO MY EMAIL AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NO SHAME TO SAY THAT OHH IT MIGHT OF GONE TO SPAM... YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE YOUR EMAILS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS DOESNT GO TO SPAM... NEVER RECIEVED IT AND GOT MY MONEY STOLEN IN TOTAL OF $254! THESE PEOPLE ARE THE MOST HEARTLESS MONEY MAKING ANIMALS I HAVE EVER SEEN... I REALLY DO WISH ALL THE WORST TO THESE SCAM COMPANIES...

i just checked my bank acct and there are 2 months of withdrawals, both for almost $40 i have no idea what it is or how i got it and when i searched the site, i found this... I will be calling my bank first thing in the morning

Grant Masters has fraudulently charged my debit card the following amounts:

$1.97 on 05/03/2009
$38.84 on 05/19/2009
$38.84 on 05/19/2009 (second charge)
$38.84 on 06/20/2009

Once the charges were discovered by me (I don’t receive paper statements for this debit card, nor do I have online access to the account information; that being the reason that the charges went unnoticed for so long), I contacted my bank and they actually called Grant Masters to cancel any further charges and they have also opened a fraud complaint on my behalf with Grant Masters; obviously I have cancelled the debit card to prevent any further fraud.

I have never accessed their website (I don’t even know the URL); but was told by their third-party Call Center (in Costa Rica – [protected]), that there is nothing that can be done to reverse the unauthorized charges. In trying to get my call escalated to the actual company, as Grant Masters could easily verify that the User ID and auto-generated Password associated with my personal data has never authenticated to the Grant Masters website, the agent told me again that there was nothing that I could do to have my monies credited back to my debit card; and was then given the physical address of Grant Masters in Utah, where I could send a letter of complaint.

To be certain that I have been clear in my complaint; I have never accessed the Grant Masters website, therefore no services and/or content has been provided to me by them.

I did not recognize the name, "Grant Masters" nor the charge amounts to my credit card.
I never received anything for the $1.97 which I don't recall ordering. I filed a formal complaint with my credit card company. They called Grant Masters, sent me a cancellation number, but could only credit me for one of the charges. The phone calls to all of these foreign (I'm American) customer service locations were useless...every phone number that they gave me for follow-up was bogus. not in service, inoperable, etc.

I probably should consider geting a new credit card and number.

The ONLY way to affect a change with these cheatiers is to hit them where it hurts. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) keeps a list of companies on whom complaints have been filed. When the list gets big enough, they go after the company. WRITE THE FTC!

RE: Grant Masters Online
Unauthorized Use of Debit/Credit Cards

Provide the same information you've put on the Complaints Board and make sure you include the company name, date(s) and amounts withdrawn, and whether you received the CD. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Grant Masters is in cahoots with BlazingWords, Adword and Powerseach. If enough complaints are filed, action will be taken.

same thing happened to me. I called my credit card company and requested a new account to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I just noticed this morning that Grant Masters (also under the names Grant Finder and Grants-R-Us) has charged my debit card &27.84 three separate times. Has anyone had any luck getting in touch with them and getting money back? Or disputing the charges with the bank? This is alarming and frustrating.

I was to get info on grant money available with shipping and handling for a small sum of 4.99 and $78.00 dollars was taken out of my bank account unauthorized. My name is Jeanne Stimpel and I want my money back!

does anyone have their website address

i have a total of $299.78 taken out of my acct on 6 different days before i realized they were doing it. It was also from trying to do the $1.99 Google ad. They say I will get a refund.

Hi my name is Raquel and Grandmasters.com was charging my visa card as well, I'm calling the police and fraud department for my visa please let get together and put people like this in jail.

Hi, I would like to add some information to make you all aware that potentially Jeremy Johnson and his crew that are doing this have come up with a whole new scam that is going to further victimize the people that have fallen into this. His new company badcustomer.com is being sold to the e-commerce industry as a tool that checks to see if there is a match on the card to any previous chargebacks. So...potentially you could be ripped off by Grant Masters, dispute the charge, resulting in a chargeback attached to your name, email, or credit card. Now, the other company, badcustomer.com will charge you $99.00 to be removed from the list. Oh, by the way when the e-commerce company runs your info through the badcustomer.com database, they are releasing your information into the hands of these crooks. Sure, it's supposed to be secure, if everything was so secure than how does identity theft and unauthorized charges even appear in the first place? Maybe that is why so may people are on here with no knowledge whatsoever how their personal information was released. They are located in St. George and travel with offices in Nevada, but also in Santa Monica.

Same here too! Such company also goes by the name My Profit Investment, A1 Member, Grant Finder, GrantRUs, SBA Track Online & Kind Remind Pro. And the charges are various.

A1 Membership offered info on using browsers to set up a business
on-line for 99 cents. After getting my credit card number they
took out .99 cents and several days later two charges of more than
seventy dollars. I have never received any info from them, and I
only authorized the .99 cent withdrawal.
