BBB Advisory
SCAM ALERT!!
Beware of telemarketers offering unsolicited 'government grants' in exchange for your personal information and/or a fee! The BBB has issued an advisory, as they have seen an increased number of phone calls for these bogus 'grants'. Keep these tips in mind:
- no legitimate grant will require a fee up front
- in order to receive a legitimate grant you must apply for it
- NEVER give your personal information to someone who calls you
- always ask for all information in writing by mail
You can contact the BBB at www.bosbbb.org or at 800-422-2462 to check out any organization.
If you are interested in government grants visit www.grants.gov or contact your local library for a list, or the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).
