I saw this ph# on my bank statement. When I called them back they hung up on me.

granteveryday.com A big rip-off. they advertized on an ad on the computer for a book on grants for $2.95, which I never got, and have been charging me $58.00 a month since Septmber of 2008. I called the number given me by the bank, got ahold of some guy. He gave me back one refund of $58.00, but I lost the other 8 months of $58.00 payments. I had no idea this was going on. My dummy because I pay so much by charge I let it slip by me. Still wish we could get them for false business practices.

I had the same thing happen!

Did you bother to report this interstate fraud to the US Attorney General or are you just satisfied with whining to the empty inersphere?

SBA didn't bother to call me first

SBA Connections 888-467-5313 made an unauthorized charge to my credit card in the amount of $13.42. I suspect that SBA is connected to other unauthorized charges under "GET-MY-G" 866-524-7754 for the amounts of $58.61 and $2.95.

If your credit card was charged by this SBA Connections, like mine was, and you did not authorize the charges; you can call your credit card company and file a fraudulent charge complaint.  They will investigate it and send you a form to fill out and send back to them to aid in their investigation.  If it is found to be a fraudulent charge they should credit back to you the amount of the charge.  I am mailing my paperwork back tomorrow. Good Luck.

This entire fiasco happened due to my participation in the "Amazing Free Computer" scam that I heard about on the local radio station. DON'T DO IT!! It is NOT FREE! They immediately require you to start buying products and services, many of which have HIDDEN CHARGES in their TERMS AND CONDITIONS which require you to cancel your order in as little as seven days, and which put you into AUTOMATIC purchase programs which charge your credit card monthly. I had one that was charging me TWICE MONTHLY! And when you call to cancel and request a refund, good luck! Some just won't, saying it was all stated in the terms and conditions. Others will give you a partial refund, and a couple gave me all of my money back. I don't know who to contact regarding internet fraud, but I left SBA Connections the email below to let them know that I and everyone else being scammed will not take this lying down. Email them and all of these other scam artists. Let them know they will eventually have to pay!

Your company is a SCAM! Your contact phone number goes dead without being answered, and your web site has no other number to contact you. You have charged my credit card without my consent by the parasitic method of being buried in the terms and conditions of a completely different offer. I have already cancelled the order with you that I NEVER PLACED. The number is 139159. I want the charge to my credit card REFUNDED IMMEDIATELY! and no further charges made to my account. And I will contact the Better Business Bureau, the IRS and anyone else I can think of to get your fraudulent business shut down and removed from the internet.

Never got a call 13.42 just showed up on my credit card statement.

I ordered a cd from best grants for you. I to have a $105 so far in charges that I did not authourize for a cd that should have cost me $2.95. I am pissed.  My father is in the hospital that is where my emergency money for a plane ticket is and I can not access it over the weekend because I had them put a hold on my card. My card is now frozen till I can get to the bank next Thurs. because I work and go to school.  I am so screwed thanks for screwing up my life. B*****ds

My husband ordered a CD about grants and we ended up with charges from a company called Biz World for $68.00 and also this SBA company for $13.42.  Both had international fees associated with them.  I was able to contact Biz World and get the draft stopped, but every time I called the SBA number it hung up on me.  My husband had to get his debit card inactivated by the bank so they couldn't draft any more money.

These people charged my checking account on Jan. 26 for 13.84 causing an over draft fee of 35.00 to my account.I know I have not used my card for any purchases since Christmas! I'm currently waiting for my new check card. I reported it as a fraudulent charge to my bank and I'm seeking to report this company and it's constituents to the proper authorities. YOU'RE GOING DOWN SBA CONNECTIONS!!

I did not get a call but $13.42 appeared on my credit card and i never purchased anything from SBA Connections. When I tried to call the number that is giving it rang and hung up. Where do I go from here? If anyone has the answer please let me know aarogers3@hotmail.

Thank you,
Help

Contact your bank immediately.
Contact your credit card company immediately.
Nothing less than the above.

I just got doing the exact thing for the same types of fraudulent charges to my accounts. Now the issue is in the hands of my credit card company and I get an immediate refund for the bogus charges.

These scam people need to get real jobs and WORK for their money...

Good luck!

We are also getting these call and charges on are check account. I try calling this number back 888-467-5313 any no one answer. We also got e-mails from them.
Thank you

I got no call from this number. It showed up on a fraudulent charge listed as $13.82 at SBA CONNECTIONS 888-467-5313 GB. I'm letting people know that it is still going on and they should watch their statements since the call never came it just appeared without notice on my card.

not sure how these companies are hacking into these websites that we shop from..but they must be getting into them as how else can they get your atm number? I shopped at amazon.com...that was it and all of a sudden these strange charges with 800 and 877 numbers appeared...just dont waste time trying to reach these companies..they are all scams and are hoping you dont notice these small amounts on your statements...$13 here...$15 there etc...if they are doing this to 1000's of people these amount will add up...just wish the banks could know of these scams and NOT PROCESS these types of charges until they check with  you!!

yes...this happened to me...seems like i did some online shopping in dec 08 and when i got my statment i had 3 charges from 2 different companies totaling $68...my bank removed the charges and cancelled the old card and issued me a new card..then on 1/24 i get this sba charge for $13...must have been off my old card or something. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO REACH THESE COMPANIES..GO RIGHT TO YOUR BANK...THEY WILL HAVE YOU FILL OUT FORMS AND REMOVE FROM YOUR ACCT...CANCEL YOUR OLD CARD AND GET A NEW ONE.

i was charged two months in a row and never signed up for it. same experience call the number and it hangs up immediatly

I signed online to participate in surveys - as part of one, I signed up with Grants Are Easy for $2.95..did not receive any grant info and after that they charged me for $68.13, exactly one week later.  Another week later I was charged by SBA Connections $13.42, all to my checking acct.On my bank acct statement it gives this number and you call and the call falls - I called like 10 times.

I called my bank and they cancelled my VISA debit card and issued a new one. They advised me to go to my bank and file three E-Dispute forms for each of those fraud transactions. CHECK WITH YoUR BANK!!
Seems this company that advertises grants has connections with other fake companies.
