I never heard of this outfit so I visited their site. Found the offer for the Free Grant Money Program report for $39.95. So far so good.
Then I found the money-back guarantee if you don't get $30,000 in grant money in 60 days. Now, are you really so stupid as to believe that in two months after getting this report you are going to rake in thirty thousand dollars? If you have half a brain you ought to start smelling a rat.
But the real kicker was the "discount" offered at the bottom of the page. This tells you that the normal price is $49.95 but you can get it for just $39.95 because they are conducting a marketing test that just happens to expire at midnight tonight. So if you don't order right away you will have to pay more.
What are the chances that you just happened to find this offer mere hours before the offer expires? Well, if you look at the source code for the web page you find a java script that inserts the current day into the offer. So if you look at the page on Sunday, the offer expires Sunday at midnight. If you look on Monday, the offer expires Monday at midnight.
So, here's a seller who offers you a ridiculous guarantee and a phony deadline. Gee, do you think this might be a rip-off?
