877-208-5903

They are dailygrants4me.com

I was victimized twice.  Once by GrantMasters, out of Jacksonville, Florida and now by these people.  The same amount of money was illegally debited from my account. I have gone to the bank and advised them.

THIS POST REFERS INITIALLY TO NUMBER 888-249-2354 BUT ALSO TO THE NUMBER YOU SEARCHED AND OTHERS WHICH ARE CONNECTED. PLEASE READ ON ......
This is a scam company calling themselves Inquire Financial. They do not need to call you. They get your Credit/Debit card details from a purchase of a kit supposedly showing you how to make good money from posting Google links on websites. The kit costs only $1.97 but is never received.
They use your details to make unauthorised withdrawals from your account usually $72.71. They also appear to have the following identities which also steal money from your account :-
Daily Grant 877-208-5903 (Usual theft $38.34)
Credit-4-Me 888-204-5967 (Usual theft $29.90)
Online-Search-Help (AKA Blazingkeywords.com) (Usual theft ALSO $72.71)
The scam is not restricted to the USA - I have been scammed by all four
companies whilst resident in the United Kingdom.
While this is the first post on this site against this phone number, a check using the other phone numbers above shows a string of people who have all been scammed for exactly the amounts I have detailed.
What to do - Notify your bank / credit union immediately you notice any of these transactions on your account and ask for an investigation as you have not authorised the withdrawal(s). Please do so ASAP even if you have let several transactions slip through because you did not realise what was happening - and PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE do not be embarrased to acknowledge you've been caught out by this scheme - you are far from being the only one.
You must also notify your bank to immediately cancel your card and issue a new one. (Ensure you draw sufficient funds first to see you through for
a week or so while this takes place).
Finally, do not give your details in future in response to ads for home-working schemes.
Please circulate this info as widely as possible by blogs, e-mail etc.
We must beat these scumbags.

PS to my previous post.
It has been suggested by posters against the other phone numbers that these scams may be operated from outwith the USA with the US 888 / 877 numbers using a call-divert system. Anyone in the telecomms field care to check this out? It's not viable for me to do so as these numbers are not
toll-free from here in the United Kingdom. Just be wary in case they're diverted to a premium service!

yo this company took money off my account with out my permission.  I have never done any transactions and I go to get groceries for my family and my card has insufficient funds.  I call the companie that my money is with and they tell me this is the number of the company that is taking money from me. (8772085903) she said dly grants.

My wife Had $42.74(CDN)withdrawn against her credit card on sept 28/09 . When we looked at the billing details, it listed the phone number 877-208-5903. She has no idea who they are or how they got her credit card information. The only information shown is Daily grants, Orem CA PO box2341. Our credit Card company advised us to contact them and ask for a refund. (I wont hold my breath). If anyone has any further information on these theifs or deciding to pursue this legally, pls post something, I'm sure there are a lot more victims out there.

M.Brassard - Please see my post above dated 23 Sep 2009 which will explain how this scam works.

They also unlawfully took money out of my account and when I try to call I can't ever get through

I mistakenly clicked on a "work from home and make tons of money" link supposedly by posting links on Google. I realized right afterwards that it was a scam but they had already charged me $1.97 shipping to send me the "kit" which I NEVER got. Suprise.
Anyway, I called my credit card company to have them refuse the charge and they said the charge had to post before they could reverse it. Then, they told me it was shipping only and cannot be reversed (never mind that they never shipped anything) but I instructed the credit card comppany to never allow charges from this company again. I was thinking this is a done deal. Well today I noticed a charge of $24.87 on my credit card with this phone number. So I called them.
I reamed them because I checked and there are 4 charges since May but UNDER DIFFERENT COMPANY NAMES each time:
GrantMasters
GrantFinder
GrantsRUs
Grants4Me
They wouldn't give me a refund because I couldn't give them the cancellation number. [***]. I asked to speak to a manager -- Keep in mind this phone number 877-208-5903 will ring a long time before the robot answers and then you may hear a minute of silence but DON'T HANG UP. I finally got "John" in India and after telling them I never went to their [***] website or used any of their [***] scam services and I want a FULL refund and I want to talk to his manager and I threatened to get a lawyer, he did cough up two months' of refunds. -- I had traveled to Mexico in June and I guess some of these charges were lumped in with that stuff and I didn't notice it on my statement.
I don't know that I've actually ever gotten a call from these people but it is worth calling them to formally cancel (having your credit card statement handy). These scammers need to be stopped.
I haven't decided yet if I will pursue the remainder but I sure want to! Maybe I'll get that lawyer anyway.

PS Actually, I DID get the $1.97 refund back in May according to my statement so YES I did think it was a done deal and I had cancelled whatever this account was, but they still charged me!! Okay I think I have to call them back.
Each of the companies listed above has a diff phone number but the guy I did speak to was able to see ALL 4 of the charges:
GrantMasters 800-926-0273
GrantFinder 877-817-9769
GrantsRUs 888-321-0509
Grants4Me 8770208-5903
Just to make sure, I'm going to call the other 3 and demand refunds from each one. These a**holes really piss me off. Sorry for bad language...

Okay they got me. I had gone online to setup a merchant account and BLAZINGKEYWORDS.com was the company that set it up. Then I got that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had just been scammed. I called the company back to cancel the membership and they assured me it was taken care of. After checking some of my bank statements I noticed that the amount of $38.84 was coming out on a regular basis. At first I thought it was simply an ebay purchase but then I noticed that the amount was consistently the same. Today, 10/8/09 I called 1 877 208-5903 and explained that I knew this was a scam and to put a stop on the transactions today. The rep gave me the name GRANDMASTERS ONLINE and said they were the ones responsible for the transactions. She then gave me a confirmation number to keep for the completion of the cancellation. If this has happened to you be sure to take the time to report it online. Maybe if enough of us work together, we can stop the scamming!

So I signed up for the 1>97 Google thing of course I never received. I got my credit card statement and saw two charges, one from Blazing Keywords and one from Daily Grants. The charges were the same as everyone else on here. So I called Blazing Keywords first... After she kept telling me the only thing she could do was cancel my membership. I insisted to speak with her supervisor. I was not nice, I was so mad I was screaming. I threatened to contact the Attorney General's office for the scam. She put me on hold so she could see if her manager was available. She came back a minute later and she finally told me she would refund the money...
So then I called the Daily Grants number to me. It sounded like I reached the same place. After having the same conversation with her, she said her manager was in a meeting. I would have to call back in a couple hours. I'm definitely going to... These people need to be stopped...
