I recieve a bill on my account for about 60$ that directed me back to this number. I tried to call to see the reason but the phone number did not work.

This caller called for the first time today.

Their real number is 866-315-4296

I have been waiting on a refund for close to a month now, I cancelled the trial membership on the last day and also found that they charged me the FULL PRICE $59.86 on that day as well. Hmmmm Ya think they would have waited for the following day. The charge was even made in the morning of the last day of the trial! I have been on the phone with them several times and every time I call it's 3-5 business days for the refund. Today I spoke to the Supervisors boss and Told him that when I make a purchase on my card that company get's the money right away. I work in IT and allthey have to do is press a button and the refund is credited in an instant. If I do not see it back in my account within the 6 HOURS they promissed I will be forced to report them to the FTC, BBB and whoever else handles Internet Fraud.

Hope this info helps!

They took 2.96 out of my account on Jan 18, 2010 and 59.46 on Jan. 26,2010 and 24.82 today Feb. 4th 2010 after I have cancelled and they cant explain it that is not an amount that they use but yet is still came out of my account. call back in 3-5 days we will report as a problem. Im so angry I can't afford for them to keep taking money out of my account I have 5 kids to support!

Same here i was lookin through my account online and saw this charge i was like wtf? And now i ma have to call for the second time to some company idk to get my money back..... I ve also been charged to a website called myprofitsite anyone think their related?

I was the victim of identity theft last week and this was one of the charges on my card.  I called the 877 number and got the same message as everyone else.  Today in the mail I received a CD for "Grant Coaching Center".  I never signed up for this and can't figure out why someone would go to the length of stealing my personal information and then send me the product they wanted.  It makes no sense to me.  The woman on the phone was completely useless, she couldn't give me any information because obviously the charge wasn't connected to my email address.  This whole situation is frustrating and ridiculous.  Sorry for venting, but thanks to those for posting the actual phone number.

AGGGGHHHH i just got off the phone w/ these people thanks to this page w/ a phone number that works .  . they assured me my account was cancelled and that the pendning amount on my card would not go through . . we will see . . i used my paypal credit card so i called them to see what i could do and they cancelled my credit card and are sending me a new one so  they can no longer charge my account just hope the pending charge doesnt go through cause then i dont know how they will credit my account.

that Grant offer was nothing but a scam as well.   A quick search on Grant Scams on the internet would have prevented it all from happening at all.

Reading the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy would have helped as well

Here is just a sampling of information about the GRANT SCAMS.  


Government Grant Scams
The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species.
It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals. Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart.
If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket.
It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they change all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WEBSITE      
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.shtm

?Free Government Grants?: Don?t Take Them For Grant-ed
?Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free $12,500 government grant! To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account!?
Sometimes, it?s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a ?free grant? to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills. Other times, it?s a phone call supposedly from a ?government? agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you?ll never have to pay the money back.
But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, says that ?money for nothing? grant offers usually are scams, whether you see them in your local paper or a national magazine, or hear about them on the phone.
Some scam artists advertise ?free grants? in the classifieds, inviting readers to call a toll-free number for more information. Others are more bold: they call you out of the blue. They lie about where they?re calling from, or they claim legitimacy using an official-sounding name like the ?Federal Grants Administration.? They may ask you some basic questions to determine if you ?qualify? to receive a grant. FTC attorneys say calls and come-ons for free money invariably are rip offs.
Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can ?deposit your grant directly into your account,? or cover a one-time ?processing fee.? The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you?re not satisfied. In fact, you?ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.
The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these ?government grant? scams:
    Don?t give out your bank account information to anyone you don?t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don?t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.
    Don?t pay any money for a ?free? government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a ?free? government grant, it isn?t really free. A real government agency won?t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded ? or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.
    Look-alikes aren?t the real thing. Just because the caller says he?s from the ?Federal Grants Administration? doesn?t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch ? or not.
    Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they?re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.
    Take control of the calls you receive. If you want to reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive, place your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. To register online, visit www.donotcall.gov. To register by phone, call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236) from the phone number you wish to register.
    File a complaint with the FTC.

Feds: Scammers Falsely "Guaranteed" Government Grants
Court halts operators' deceptive pitches for grant writing book and services


By James Limbach
ConsumerAffairs.com
July 24, 2009

A federal judge has stopped an operation from falsely claiming that it could help consumers secure a "$25,000 Grant" -- guaranteed -- from the U.S. government.
The case is part of a Federal Trade Commission crackdown on scammers trying to capitalize on the economic downturn by targeting people facing financial hardship.
In the complaint the FTC, jointly with the attorneys general of Kansas, Minnesota, and North Carolina, charged that Grant Writers Institute, LLC and its related entities (together, GWI) falsely told consumers that they were eligible for grants as part of the recently announced economic stimulus package .
According to the complaint, the false and deceptive claims by GWI violate federal law, state consumer protection laws, and the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule. The complaint seeks a court order permanently stopping the defendants' illegal conduct and forcing them to return money to consumers injured by the scheme.
"Stamping out grant fraud and other types of schemes that take advantage of consumers in dire financial shape continues to be one of the Federal Trade Commission's highest priorities," said David Vladeck, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. "There is no such thing as a guaranteed grant. But to consumers in financial trouble, the chance for extra income -- guaranteed or otherwise -- can unfortunately be a huge draw."
The FTC says since at least 2007, GWI has mass mailed postcards to consumers across the country falsely claiming that the consumers "are Guaranteed a $25,000 Grant from the U.S. Government." Consumers who call the number are pitched a $59 book titled "Professional Grant Writer 'The Definitive Guide to Grant Writing Success.'"
The company's telemarketers falsely claim that the book will explain how to get government grants  -- including the "guaranteed" $25,000 grant. GWI and its North Carolina-based telemarketers, also named as defendants in the complaint, then call consumers who have bought the book, trying to get them to pay hundreds of dollars or more for grant research, writing, or coaching services, falsely claiming a 70 percent success rate in securing grant funding.
In reality, few, if any consumers ever receive any grant money.
The Commission contends that in addition to falsely claiming consumers were "guaranteed" to receive grants, GWI used the current government stimulus package to make its pitch. For example, when consumers called the number on the mass-mailed postcard, they heard a recording that said, "If you've been reading the papers you know that recently our government released $700 billion into the private sector. What you probably don't know is that there is another $300 billion that must be given away this year to people just like you."
The recording continues, "And if you're one of the lucky few who knows how to find and apply for these grants, you will receive a check for $25,000 or more, and we guarantee it . . . If you don't get a check for $25,000 or more, you pay nothing."
The following were named as defendants:
? Affiliate Strategies, Inc.;
? Landmark Publishing Group, LLC (d/b/a G.F. Institute and Grant Funding Institute);
? Grant Writers Institute, LLC;
? Answer Customers, LLC;
? Apex Holdings International, LLC;
? Brett Blackman, individually and as an officer, manager, and/or member of Affiliate Strategies, Inc., Landmark Publishing Group, LLC, Grant Writers Institute, LLC, Answer Customers, LLC, and Apex Holdings International, LLC;
? Jordan Sevy, individually and as a manager of Landmark Publishing Group, LLC;
? James Rulison, individually and as president of Answer Customers, LLC, all located in Kansas.
The complaint also names the following North Carolina entities as defendants:
? Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC (d/b/a Grant Writers Research Network);
? Martin Nossov, individually and as a manager and member of Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC; and
? Alicia Nossov, individually and as a manager and member of Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC.

I purchased a program for "Grants' from this company known as Easy Tweet. They are nothing but a big rip off.  They posted charges to my account as pending before the trial period was up and when I cancelled before the trial period and after assurance from them that my account would not be charged they went and charged my account any way along with a processing fee.  When I called them concerning these charges they told me it would take 5 to 7 business days to refund my money but they could not refund the processing fee's even thu I cancelled before the trial period was up.  I had to get my bank involved to get my money back.  Just think if they got $1.70 and $1.80 from me for 2 charges they posted to my account just think of all the money their making just by not refunding the processing fee's and from what I understand they handle several different products BUYER BEWARE

My experience mirrors pandvf's almost exactly.  I did not give the foreign sounding lady anymore information than my email address.  She kept trying to get more though.  I found it odd that she was pushing so much for our names.  I filed a police report and I am going to try and get a refund from my credit card company.

Oh, yes, they wanted my e-mail addresses!  I would only give my home one.  The customer service rep said she couldn't find my account without an e-mail....that I needed to give ALL my e-mail addresses....I DON'T Think so!!  I asked her why she needed them and she said so I can see if you have an account with us.  I said well tell me WHO you are and I can tell you if I have an account with you - she would NOT give me the company name...she just kept saying I am a customer service rep.  So I said no more e-mail addresses!  She then took my name and said my account would be refunded within 5 - 7 business days.  This is a scam!!

I too have gotten the same billings on my account....  1. one was 2.29 on Jan. 21 and the 2. was 59.86 on Jan. 27.  I called the number given above....not the number listed with my bank billing and was told I'd be refunded in 5 - 7 billing days.  I'm keeping an eye on this though...I had a hard time understanding the lady and the number I called didn't even give the company name when their phone picked up...I still don't know WHO they are....she just kept saying she's customer service department, but wouldn't give me a company name.  My card is canceled.  I've gotten some unusual packages this week in the mail too....of which I never ordered OR even knew about.  Somethings rotten on Guam!!  They won't be able to use my bank card now!  We'll see if they try to credit my account.  Be careful folks!  Lot's of mean, nasty thieves out there....too lazy to work so they scam hard working folks!

I had the exact same problem with being billed $47 after I cancelled my trial membership with Easy Tweets. Got this wack number and PEACE SINGAPORE on my billing statement. I was lucky enough to find the 866-315-2577 number in the reminder email I sent myself to cancel easy tweets. I spoke with Cherry as well, the same woman I spoke with when I canceled my membership in fact. Must be a small office, because I've spoken with her twice and you all mention her name as well.  I hope this doesn't happen again. She told me the billing department will process and refund my account within 5 to 10 business days. That's not acceptable that I have to wait so long to get my money back, but what can I do...

I called the 877 number and it gave the same error message saying to try back. I then called the 866 number listed here. I spoke with a woman who also said I never canceled, but I know I did and it showed on my bank account from 09 where the payment was reversed from the same company.  They insisted that I never canceled. I was transferred to Miguel Molina (1-866-315-4296)who stated he would refund the money. I asked for the exact amount to be refunded, he stated 47.00.  I said what about the 38 cents? He never directly stated anything about the change. SO where does the 38 cents go?  He said they only take out 47.00.  So .38 here and there, I'm sure is adding up somewhere. I asked to receive a  confirmation email or receipt by mail. He stuttered something about 'unfortunately this is an automated system'. SO, I supposed HE IS AN AUTOMATED person. Haha!  He said my subscription was cancelled as well. But that is what they said before. I said I needed a confirmation that this would not happen again-like a receipt or email.  He said he could only give his full name, which again, is  Miguel Molina.  We will see if I get a refund.  In the meantime, I cancelled my card it is charging and filing a dispute with my bank. What a complete waste of time.
Lesson learned people. Read all fine print.  But in this situation, it is not just in the fine print-it is just shady.

I too had a charge on my account for $2.29 from a company called PEACE 877-232-5126, as well as an international service charge for $0.07. Luckily my bank notified me as soon as the attempt was made on my account so hopefully no more charges will be made.  

I also tried to call the number...one time it was busy, the next time it was "temporaily out of service.  After researching the phone number I got to this site and read that many others were having the same problem. MY PROBLEM is I never signed up for anything but like a couple of other people I got some disk in the mail for "Grant Coaching Center".

I called the number that some others have posted (1-866-315-4296) on here and spoke with some guy who would not tell me his name and was clearly reading from a script. He looked up my email and said I had no account with them.  I said then why did I receive a disk in the mail and my bank account charged? He kept saying I must have signed up for something online and I said "but you just said I don't have an account of file with your company".

After several minutes of this I asked to speak to a supervisor and was connected to a "Mr. Adams" who proceeded to tell me not only did his company not represent PEACE SINGAPORE but the phone number I called was not their number...OH REALLY? THEN HOW AM I TALKING TO YOU??? He said that their number was not 1-866-315-4296! I looked down at my phone and that is the number I dialed so I am not sure what kind of scam they are trying to pull, but I am keeping a close eye on my bank account! I just thank God I have a bank that is on the ball!

Hmm I got another attempt on my card from them AFTER calling them to cancel twice now. Am talking with PP now to try and block them. I've also been getting odd no answer calls. Very irritating. I really don't want to get embroiled in a dispute. Thankfully my account was empty and my bank low atm...I fear what would have happened if my checks had landed before! >.<

they did the same to me to...and as weird as this sounds they dont have a number for the billing dept...my account was started in early august 09 and cancelled in last august of 09 and i was currently charged $47 and their still working on my refund

I ended up with the same s*** happening except mine was for 61.05 and instead they keep telling me they dont charge that much when its the same 01/19/10     877-232-5126 Peace Singapore Sg          $61.05 . Tried disputing it with my bank and still no credit back. This is just aggrivating.

I have been recieving calls from an unknown caller, prior charges to my card, last call was 1/23/10 at 3:45 pm. before that on 1/20/2010 at 7:53 pm. same day at 5:18 pm, on 1/19/2010 at 6:39 pm, same day at 12:10 pm, at 9:27 am, on the 1/16/2010 at 4:41 pm, that was the first call from theme, I answer the phone and nobody was there, background voices and then hungup, after that did not answer their calls and they did not leave messanges,on the 1/17/10 recieve the first charge to my card.

Hi, yeah those numbers are very familiar, I had a charge of $2.29 on jan.17.2010 and then on jan.23.2010 another charge of $59.86, whis are really close to yours, and they are from same company, (PEACE SINGAPORE) 877232 5126, wish i called and is out of service, so i google it and found all this, I am so angry, just to let you know you are not alone.

I just got hit with a charge of $59.86, and I am trying to cancel this, I dont recall singning for anymedia group, but i did recieve a Cd on the mail with the title "Grant Coaching Center", dont know how they got my info, but i will find out and take action against them!, thanks for all the notes and comments, it is been helpfull.

I just noticed a debit on my bank account of $47 matching "877-232-5126 PEACE SINGAPORE SG" I don't know what this is!!! Anybody help me? I haven't signed up to anything for months and out of the blue I start getting billed!

I tried to call 1-866-315-4296 but get "Your call could not be connected message" Anyone know what country this is? Is this Singapore? I'm calling from Australia, and need the phone number to call them from here...

Cheers

Can anyone help me ?    

I have filed a transaction dispute with my bank.  The number of the people who charged me was also 877-232-5126 and when I saw someone had provided the real number, I called it and they said that they didn't charge the price that was on my bank account.  Their charges are usually 47.00 for the Tweets system.

I have a charge on my bank account for $2.31 and another charge from this same number for $60.45      I am worried about this.

Do these charges sound familiar to anyone ?   What is the real number so that I can get my money back ?

Thanks,
Linda

So they sent my complaint to billing and they figured that they still charged me after i cancelled...... hell they musta slipped that membership in somewhere without my knowledge! anyway, Cherry Jolie helped and they will be refunding me my 154 bucks. yes, they billed me twice.. i am glad to get that out of the way. its been a headach not knowing if one day they will just decide to clean out my meagre checking account!!! you guys have been so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spoke with Roxy Carlton on the 1866-315-4296 number since the 1877 one is bogus. she was unable to pull up any records of my membership but i am still being billed!!! for three months now, they keep taking 47 bucks. I am pissed and still intend to get ALL my money back. scammers!

Yes I had a similar situation where I was being charged after canceling. The number that shows on my billing statement is 877-232-5126 which if called is disconnected. The customer service reps claim it will be refunded in 5-7 business days but regardless they should not continue to charge after you cancel.

I would like to also thank you for providing the actual telephone number [1-866-315-4296] for the company named SINGAPORE.

Earlier today, I discovered that my checking account had been debited the amount of $47. I also called the number, (877)232-5126, which appeared alongside the charge but a computerized message stated that the number "is temporarily unavailable. Please try your call again in a few hours."

I called the number provided on this site and a woman answering the phone said her records showed I cancelled their service in June of 2009. After apologizing, she said the company would credit my account though the transaciton will take 5 to 7 days to complete.

Since others have also experienced problems contacting the company at the number they provide, this appears to be a sham. If I remember correctly, in early 2009, I discovered that my checking account had been debited $47 each month over a period of 8 months. Obviously, I should have been more careful in checking my records.

At the time, I called, I was able to speak to a representative who said I ordered something which I am sure did not order. I may have inadvertantly requested information and did not read the small print which may have said I was agreeing to some subscription for some service.

I would advise people to be careful when filling out online offers for information because some of these contain inconspicuous agreements. One sure clue is when your are asked to provide your credit or check card number. If the product or service is merely for free information, then the company doesn't need your credit or check card number.

Yup! Apparently they sell searchenginprofitsystem.com. I recall canceling that well before the trial offer was over like a month ago (I keep records LOL). Thankfully I used a pp card and went shopping so my balance was so low it didn't process. PP also notified me that since it was (according to them) unauthorized they wont get past the pp checks anyway!

The kicker is that had I kept the trial they were supposed to charge $47 but attempted to hit me with $59.86. Fail indeed.

I want to thank you for your post.  I had a charge from Peace Singapore SG abd I was able to track them down through your phone number.  The phone number listed on my bank account was inactive.  It turns out that this organization originated with I signed up for Easy Tweets which I cancelled a couple of weeks ago.  I have been find the same $47.00 dollars taken out of my account but they are changing their names.  I found the customer service of 1-866-315-4296.  The lady I spoke with was Roxy Carlton.  She promised to cancel my membership.  I hope this info can benefit others.

i also canceled this but was attempted to be charged. good thing my debit was at zero. I called 1-866-315-4296 and told the woman. I was still being charged. She said she would send it to billing to fix the situation.
