WARNING: Don’t get SCAMMED! So many people are under the impression that they can get some free money directly from Obama grants, stimulus rebates, the stimulus bill, green grants, and the government’s bailout of America. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! The stimulus bill has nothing in it for individual people. Other sites will scam you if they tell you otherwise. There are still government grants available as always but they have NOTHING to do with the stimulus bill or Obama! If you are going to profit from the stimulus bill it will probably have to be in the form of a job that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.
Many so called grant companies will ship you a cheap CD (maybe for $1.95) and say it is a free trial period and they will help you get your grant. Then when you forget to cancel you will be charged a monthly fee of $49.95 or $79.95 or some other large amount. This is all in the fine print. GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE FREE AND YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THEM! Don’t fall for this scam!
I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately with headers that look just like the one above (without the “not”). Usually they are in my spam folder but occasionally one slips through into the real folder. They seem to lead to different online colleges or some other college placement type website.
Is it true that you can really get $10,000 from Obama or an Obama school grant? Or are these emails just more of the same over the top advertising to get your attention and mislead you? I clicked a link that said “financial aid packages” on one of the sites and this is what I got:
I don’t know where they are coming up with the 10K number…perhaps it just sounds good. The numbers above ($5,350 and $2500) don’t even add up to $10,000.
Obama school turnaround grants have been in the news lately but those are grants that are going to be given to the schools that are successful in well, turning themselves around. They are not grants for individual people like moms who want to go back to school.
Advertisers continue to feed off of and use the public’s perception that there are real and new Obama debt relief grants, Obama back to school grants, Obama grants for moms, and any other kind of Obama government stimulus grants that they are now entitled to and can get. The truth is that there is very little out there for the average person that wasn’t there before Obama got elected.
There are new amounts available for Pell Grants but it is not that much more than before and it hardly keeps pace with inflation. Certainly the increase doesn’t match how much college tuition is going up across the country. Anyone can apply for these school grants and may even be lucky enough to get one. But is Obama just giving away $10,000 for anyone to go back to school like these ads want you to believe? Nope, not even close.
