Promised to provide me with a grant to start my own business.
I kept calling for a year after the transaction was made for them to tell me to wait until I received a letter from the grantees which never happened.
Amount paid was $217.00.
I've tried calling them back about 2 to 3 times a week with no answer.Customer Answer

They refuse to answer the phone or call you back. We have called them way to many times and not received any answer. They need to give people their money back and be shut down.Initial Complaint

Photos provided on transactions. Have been calling Company almost everyday for the next step. One day I was able to get thru and asked for a refund. Rep Robert laughed at me said I was crazy and disconnected the line. Ever since then all I do is get an answering machine now. This business here is a fraud and I’m wanting my mommy back. Thank youCustomer Answer

The company offers a 100% money back guarantee if you are unable to receive funding after using their services. I was unable to receive funding so I called, and they said a full refund would be issued 10/11/22 I never received my refund. I have called and emailed the company every day since and have not gotten any response. The company owes me $217, and I would like my money to be refunded per their guarantee as I provided them with all the proof I needed, and they approved the refund.Customer Answer

This company contacted me earlier this year in regards to a social media post I requested information on. After speaking with representative Tammie ******* she had me under the impression that for a one time fee of $217.00, which I paid that I would/could potentially receive a federal grant. Well after sending the company my information, that they requested so that they could in put together what they call a 20-page docket, and after my review and official signature, which I have not signed off on to date, they would then send my information to the federal government for review. Well unbeknownst to me, they actually offer grant services, which I didn’t find out until after several attempts, calls, text messages to the company and telling them that I would contact the Better Business Bureau if I didn’t hear back from them. So then is when I found they were not advertising the actual service that they actually provide. So then I am told my account is assigned to some guy, I can’t remember his name honestly, who’s supposed to be working with me on hopefully getting my application completed. I had maybe one or two phone conversations with him and that’s it!!! The last time I called in trying to find out what’s going on with my application so that I can approve everything if it’s what I’m agreeing to and sign off on, but I have been unsuccessful in reaching in any staff. I’m automatically transferred to their voicemail, with no return emails, or phone calls after I have left several detailed messages. I want all of my money back!!!!Customer Answer

I wanted to get an grant for my business, I end up being screwed by this COMPANY FUNDING TARGET, A lady kept calling me and texting about helping me write a proposal to get a grant, the worse part is that she made it seem so easy. I end up paying $217 for this program and this company has not yet delivered what i paid for, I never knew i had to send the proposal out to whatever company I applied to for the grant, now I am still waiting for them to send the applications of the company to send out my proposal work that I have to do myself which I didn't know I had to do. I would of kept my money and find a way to write out an proposal myself. I am disabled and these people bascially is scamming alot of people out of thier money. I wish I never paid these people. I lost big time.Customer Answer

I applied to get assistance with grants for my small business over a year ago. I am currently seeking a refund because the company has done little to not work that was initially described. I have yet to receive any grants or loans and I requested a refund and I've been calling for weeks and I can never got an answer. I've left several messages and still no one will returny call. When I called from a different number I was able to get an answer, as of now no one had called back about my refund.Initial Complaint

I paid for a grant service and was told about a money back gay renter for dissatisfaction or rejection. I am dissatisfied with the service as nothing has transpired in the months from beginning of use of the service. I have not gotten any info from them after approving the draft and selecting the programs. I was told I could and would be able to get a full refund and have refused the refund. I have spoken 3 times with people regarding the refund and have been told I had to wait for certain dates now those dates have come and gone and the third person told me I am not entitled to a refund for dissatisfaction with the service. I only paid for the service because they said there was a dissatisfaction refund. When I asked for my refund the third time I was told they do not give refunds for their poor service and lack of communication. I have not received anything from the company since July 3, 2022 about my business plan or grants. I want my money back. If I knew I would get jerked around on this service I would have never given them a penny. Very disappointed that I was told one thing and the complete opposite has happened.Customer Answer
