    I had received the same letter in the mail, I knew the way the letter was written it had to be fake. As any letter like this, I always refer back to the internet to see if these are really true. Thanks to everyone's comments on these scams really help out, so no one makes that mistake on being scammed.

    I received this today and automatically looked it up on Google.  Knew it was a scam.  As far as I know, I have not received a call from them but very well could have.

    I received a mailer with the tear off edges stating that G.F. Institute was trying to reach me regarding the release of Government Funds of $25,000.00 to
    use any way I choose.  First of all, in these times of economic crunch, no one
    especially the Government is going to call you, or send you any info for you to receive "FREE" money.  Trust me people, if it sounds to good to be true it usually is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE !

    Hey My wife got one today! I can't believe these things are still circulating after 6 months. Man people need to give it a break and realize people are getting smarter. Especially in the economy we live in today. I don't have any money to throw around.

    My 87 year old keeps receiving these scams, I spoke to the post master in NYC, the ONLY way we can stop these people is to return this mail “return to sender” or “deceased” the original sender will have to pay return postage…there is no other way to stop them! What is our world coming to…

    Recieved letter.  Will not call.  Life hard enough without putting my name and personal info. out there for real scam artists to get a hold of.  Writer is right.  comes in a old fashioned telephone code letter.  Another mentioned that if it was real government; documentation would have hidden lines and seals that could not be altered on documentation.  I am tering my letter up into a million peices and putting coffee grounds on it and tosing it.

    I recieved the same thing just today.  I already know it from the start it was a scam, but just wanted to see if anyone else in the U.S. recieved one.  Freaken scammers these days!  Always stealing people's information.  I wonder where do they get it from?  Because I definitely was filling any fishy information online. = \

    Wow, I can't believe that some stupid scam artist company can use statements such as:  "Your Access to Government Funds", "Official Information Re: $25,000.00 Grant from U.S. Government", Important Release Of Government Funds Pending" and this one tells on themselves "G.F. Institute Created To Assist American Residents Access Government Funds".  OKAY...... I'm trying to get a Grant to help me open my own PR Business, (a discounted Marketing & Public Relations Company ran from my home office). I want to help companies that are having problems staying open to  as well as PR to help new businesses grow in my community.  I know there is an "OFFICIAL" Government Grant Website that is "REAL" but unsure of because of CRAP Sites like this one.  Basically you are told they can "Help" you get a Government Grant...and you pay them or they send you the information that tells you how to apply.  If they were the "Government" they wouldn't charge anything.  I think this should be considered "FRAUD" and "False Advertising" if you ask me.  I am going to try to figure out how to report them to the Government itself and I also feel that any persons out there that paid for instructions or paid for this company to apply for the grant for them, should all get together and file a "Class-Action Lawsuit".

    I can't believe there are people out there who actually fall for this kind of thing. At the risk of sounding "nasty" and/or "unsympathetic" anyone who thinks this is legitimate pretty much deserves what they get.

    i got the mailer and payed the $59 before I saw this site.  they sent me a book called "professional grant writer" and gave me 30 day free trial to a database of grants, but supposedly I can call and cancel before the 30 days is up and not be charged $19.95 a month. also, the said after applying for 3 grants, if i didn't receive at least $25,000 in grant money, then they will refund my $59. now that i know that this is a scam, what can i do? please call (443) 875-3111.
