There are no grants available for houses, cars etc... Most of these bogus grant websites were created in Nov 08, for the sole purpose of ripping you off - Using the Obama election as it the springboard. FACT IS THE INFO IS ALREADY FREE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! I would think that someone you age would have far more common sense then to fall for a scam like this. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/scam_alerts/grant.html Government Grant Scams The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species. It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals. Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart. If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket. Below is a tiny sample of the hundreds and hundreds of complaints we receive about the many versions of this scam. It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they change all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.
