Report: Grant Danger
Category: Attorney Generals
Grant Danger rip off they tell you how you can get money from the government, but do not give you access to the internet INTERNET

This company tells you they can guarantee you money from the government in 7 days, just pay 1.85 to access the internet and follow the simple grant writing tools provided, if you wish to cancel you have 7 days to do so thereafter their will be a 58.00 charge.

Will I cancelled on the 7th day and they would not refund my money and they never provide an access to the link regarding Grants.

This company is a scam and a ripoff and the consurmers need to be reminded not to participate in anything on the internet that guarantees them money.

17. It is a scam ..... look at the address
Official programs will be listed at whitehouse.gov This website is http://www.barackobamagrants.com/. Mr. Obama has not been in office long enough to change much in the grant department.

A racist at work listens to short wave radio news. He has been talking about something similar. He claims these grants target single women, blacks, jews, and immigrants at the expense of white people.

Of course it is not true. It just seems to be a similar propaganda plot
