Government Grants - Beware of Scams
As the saying goes: "Buyer Beware". If you see ads claiming you
qualify to receive a "free grant" for education, to start a home
business or to payoff unpaid bills, be wary. Scam artists will claim your grant application is guaranteed to be accepted and approved, and you never have to repay the money. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns that these grant offers are often a scam. The grant isn't free, nor is it guaranteed, nor is a refund. Article provided by Toni Phelps of Credit Federal.
