    I thought I was paying $2.95 for access to a website regarding government grants. A few days later, my husband noticed a charge of $57.61 from US Grants. I too called and had a terrible connection with a woman who had a strong accent. I am furious that she sent me to this website. I don't want to complain about this, I want my money back!I'm going to the bank to see what can be done and then I am reporting them to the BBB!

    This is a charge cramming scam.

    Contact your bank or credit card company immediately to dispute the fraudulent transaction, and block the card number to prevent additional fraud.  Follow up with a written dispute or fraud affidavit sent to your bank.  

    Your bank can reverse disputed charges if you dispute within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charges, under FRB Reg. E (for checking account debit card or other EFT), or under FCBA (for credit cards).

    Watch your next few statements carefully, to make sure they don't roll this "automatic charge" over to your new card number.

    File fraud complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General, and at www.ic3.gov

    I just had the exact same thing happened to me. After getting hung up on by their "complaints" department (twice might i add) I called visa and told them what happened. they will be reviewing these charges and hopefully I will be getting my money back. Anyone know where we can report this scam?
