Yep. I keep seeing these scams online. This one is exactly like the rest. The websites associated with this scam are erinsgrantblog.com and grantsmoney.com.
WHAT “ERIN” SAYS
I went to the grant website and paid the $3.95 shipping fee, but seriously, for the amount I got back from this, it seems like a joke to me now. After getting this program, I was immediately able to apply for thousands of grants that most people don’t know about.
Here’s what you’re really signing up for…
It all starts with a 1-day “Free” trial for a $1.95 shipping fee. If you don’t cancel after 1-day, you will be charged $57.61. (Come on! They couldn’t even match the dollar amount? Amateurs!)
OFFER DETAILS
Clicking the buy button will activate your trial membership with Grants Money and provide instructions to the supplied email address! To activate your trial membership to Grants Money your card will be charged $1.95 and then you can immediately take advantage of the exciting savings Grants Money has to offer! After your 1 day trial period it’s just $57.61 for each 30 days for Grants Money. Remember, you can chat with a live operator by calling 1.866.955.1671 within the 1 day period to cancel or emailing us at support@grantsmoney.com and providing detailed information to enable us to process your request, and you will not be charged. As an exclusive bonus we are offering our customers 2 days of unlimited access to our work from home guide for a charge of $1.95. Cancel anytime during the trial period to avoid any further charges. Otherwise, a one-time fee of $38.21 will be charged to your credit card. Marking the checkbox and submitting the form constitutes an agrement to these terms on your part.
IN ALL FAIRNESS
I didn’t sign up for this service, so I don’t know if the grants are real, but no one likes fees that are hidden in the small print.

I just had this pop up out of nowhere when I was reading a website on Safari. I think there might have been adware on my computer that caused it to pop up. When I try to close the window, a message box comes up saying, “WAIT! You have government cash waiting for you! Don’t miss out – Click the cancel button to claim your free kit now!” I don’t trust hitting either “OK” or “Cancel”. What do you recommend I do?
Isnt it funny how this so called Erin lives in Los Angelas, Australia and countless more countrys. Im so glad i decided to google the name as its only just confirmed this is a scam.
I just got this popunder too.
NZ amused.
If it’s just a pop-out window, you can just close the window. Nothing will happen as long as you don’t give out your private information or credit card number. I’m not sure about Ad Ware. Do you have anti-virus software? Perhaps that’ll help.
