Gov Benefaction – Government Grants

If you posted an ad on craigslist recently but did not use their email anonymize option, you probably found this page after being directed via email to Google one of the following terms: “Government Benefaction”, “Fed Gov Benefaction”, or “Gov Benefaction”. All of the top results currently in Google for those terms are websites that are almost identical…

These “Gov Benefaction” websites all use the same images and layouts. They are even on the same server – using the same IP address.  The text is a bit different on each site but it’s all geared up for the same purpose – to deceptively separate you from your money. Each site is nothing more than a commercial for the site they all link to…

Government grant scams are nothing new. Kevin Trudeau and Matthew Lesko have been ripping people off with bogus books promising easy grant money for years via their infomercials. Naturally, the internet is also now littered with empty promises and hyped up sales pitches that are designed to do nothing more than take advantage of people.

Real information about US government grants can be found via the federal government’s official website for grants, Grants.gov. Don’t get too excited about that link though. Grants simply are not as easy to get as late night infomercials and bogus websites want you to believe.

Sample of the emails being sent out by this scammer / spammer:

“Earlier this week I came upon that the governing administration is allowing out there green notes.

The rationale for this is they are needing to seriously stimulate the economy
All you need to do is request and then you can use it on everything you want.

My parents did this and now we were able to sort our existing things and are much happier.
You have to type ”Gov Benefaction” in google to uncover how you can proceed too!

Sincerly, Skylar”
