Hello Friends,
Yesterday I discovered a thread created by Joe Bucherri that I found to be questionable and replied to the post.
You can see his post here and the only difference is that the original one said he was looking for "only" 50 people and now he's down to 30. If you believe that, I have my serious doubts.
In any case here are my replies to this post and his before he deleted them for obvious reasons.
Hi Pete:
While we appreciate your links, these are not the grants we have as being available. What you are directing people to are those that will take several months, if not an entire year to be reviewed and " possibly " approved. Those are grants one must supply much in paper work over to be considered for review. Of course, you had no way of knowing the entire process. As I mentioned our fiscal department handles most of what is shared. We here stateside and who are in the broadcasting industry are provided much in the way of these worthy opportunities. Our operation personally applied for one of these grants and it took less than four weeks for the application to be reviewed, approved and funds released; it was completed with the assistance of the program being presented. This is also the reason we were able to move quickly in our recent format change and subsequent marketing campaigns.
Thanks for your input.
Joe Buccheri
Hello Joe,
Let me see if I understand you correctly.
You're saying that you have access to Government grants that aren't published in the official Government Grants website???
It makes no difference whether you're stateside or anywhere else in the world. As a US citizen you're eligible for a grant if you qualify. If I'm not mistaken non US citizens also qualify under certain circumstances; but that's the exception to the rule.
It doesn't sound or seem logical that US government grants will be found elsewhere other then on their official website.
I don't know what sort of grant your "operation" applied for (possibly from private sources?) but if it was a government grant and it took 4 weeks then others can do it in that time frame too.
Shalom,
Peter
And then I received Notification that my posts were deleted for "updates".
So I posted the following a short 2 sentences stating that I was waiting to see how long it would take him to delete my posts since he has a record for censoring/deleting posts he has no answer to.
Well, it was no surprise that that too was deleted too but this time I was accused of being paranoid.
At 8/15/2008 5:27:23 AM a message you posted entitled
"Re: FIVE BUCKS A WEEK GETS YOU GRANT NEWS RIGHT IN YOUR MAIL BOX"
to the forum "A Wonderful New Year At Adlandpro"
was deleted by the forum owner/moderator.
The owner/moderator provided the following reason(s) for removing your post:
Dear Sir:
You need to see someone about your paranoia.
Oh well, I'll let you be the judge if I'm paranoid or not. I think not. What I do think is that the $5 a week offer is questionable to say the least and takes advantage of some naive and possibly gullible folks.
All I can say is be careful and check the sources before you invest your hard earned monies.
Shalom,
Peter
