Have you ever heard the phrase "If it is too good to be true, then it probably is."? Well I admit sometimes I see a "get rich quick" scheme and instead of ignoring I become interested. Since I have a head on my shoulders (or maybe I just think I do) that interest soon turns to a Google search about a certain product or service + "scam" and I soon feel a sense of relief that I didn't fall for it.
Anyway today's topic is about Government Grants. You might have seen ads on facebook that says "The U.S. Government is sending checks for $12,000 to help you pay of your debt. You Never Need To Repay!" Then that link goes to this jerk offs "blog":
that links to this Jerk off:
Red Flags I noticed:
- jeffreysgrantblog.com has 1 entry and of coarse you can't comment on that entry.
- $1.99 for a "Kit" WTF is a kit? I thought it was just a "simple form"!
- He links to an affiliate "Gov Access Club Grants" (jerk off 2)
- Jerk off #2 aka The Grant Doctor has CNN & CNBC logos on his site. I guess if you see those logos you are suppose to say "hey he was on TV and CNN says they are the most trusted name in news so this guy must be for reals!!!" Next to the logos you can clearly read that this jerk off was never on TV.
Now here is the
truth about Government Grants:
Grants are real and you can apply for one free
with out paying any money @

A grant is not a Christmas present. American Government & Politics, by Jay M. Shafritz
, a grant is, "A form of gift that entails certain obligations on the part of the grantee and expectations on the part of the grantor." Getting a government grant will get you loads of them and not fulfilling them will grant you a load of legal troubles.
