I had to laugh because that's the funniest description of these scammy tactics I've seen! <em>If you visit fedgrantusa.com, you are presented with two options: Fraud recovery or I’m an idiot, let me in. If you proceed down the idiot’s path of doom, it leads you to http://www.grantmemberssite.com/</em> - it's just so funny and yet horribly true. There are heaps of folks that have been relieved of excess weight in their pockets by scammers like this. I've found two interesting and contradictory links on John Porter. This one: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/dr-john-porter039s-grant-funding-search-program-on-free-cd-c81556.html ...actually includes a reply from a Dr John Porter of the "American Grant Writers' Association, Inc", something that YOUR Porter claims to be a member of. He says your guy is a fraud and the picture isn't him anyway. This organisation is here: http://www.agwa.us/aboutus The other link: http://www.ripoffreport.com/Con-Artists/B-S-M-SBAExpress/bsm-sbaexpress-grant-writer-p-6fbq8.htm ...has a reply from someone at the call centre saying everything is all above board and that THEIR Dr John Porter .. "is a licensed and certified grant writer" To me, there are two things with this. 1. I know which one to believe the most given yours and others' experiences. 2. Do Americans really need to be licensed to openly talk about something? It just seems really odd coming from the land of the free, doesn't it? Ha Ha, Tinkering Monkey.

Also, it isn't the US Government that'd behind the scam. The weasels are just using a somewhat official sounding name in hopes that it'll trick more people into falling for their deceit.
