I have a feeling they will come to you, and tell you they have the money for you, but you need to put down the "finder's fee" first and then they will mail you the check.

What will happen is 9 of 10 people will hang up or laugh, the 10th will send in the finder's fee because they believe they'll get the check. And never hear from those people again.

On a personal note: I've dealt with a few of these "grant finders" for my sober house and recovery center and to say that I have yet to find one that is honest and can come through on what they promise (finding the money, writing the grant applications and getting the money) for a finder's fee percentage of the grant, is too say the least impossible, because all of a sudden they want the finder's fee up front.

That's not how I do business. Give me the service or proof of service and I'll pay.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
