Stimulus Package Government Grant Scams to Avoid

As you search the webs I'm sure you come across ads that tell you that you can get a piece of Barack Obama's stimulus package. They claim to show you how easy it is to get government grants that you do not have to pay back. All you have to do is sign up for a free kit and pay a couple of bucks for shipping and handling. The only problem is that it's a scam. You need to avoid this because it does not work that way.

Government grants are not something you get off an ad. The government does not even advertise their grants at all. You have to go to them and apply for one yourself. These scammers offer you some bogus free kits with a very low shipping cost because they are after your credit card number. Once they get it you will be charged every month a certain fee for joining the membership site. It will be there in small print but you will not notice it. You will end up focusing on the dreams of getting thousands of dollars by just filling out a few forms. They even go so far as to put Barack Obama's face on it to make it seem like it is apart of his stimulus package but it is not.

The stimulus package is about giving some taxes breaks when you file your taxes and spending to create jobs. The president is not going to put out ads on the web for just anybody to get a government grant. Unfortunately with so many people out their losing their homes and jobs the allure of getting some easy money from the government can sound good. That is what the scam is all about. Oh, and by the way, that free kit they promised you will not show up.

So if you want to get a government grant always go to the government's official website for more information. Never believe that someone will give you some stimulus package money from an ad. These scams will be all over the internet so please avoid them at all cost.
