Description

I have signed up for a website with the intention of having easy access to scholarships. The website will have you do a quick survey about your school you attend, your gpa, ethnicity, email, etc. then I will present you a “Back to School” scholarship with $500 to present how easy it is to apply through this website. Then it will present you asubcription payment plan in order to continue using the services. There was one option which was about $2.99/week which is valued at $39.99/4months in which you would pay the 39.99 upfront, or a $9.99/week. I chose the $2.99/week and provided my card info. Then I was charged two separate $39.99 charges with an additional $19.99 charge all on the same day Aug 18th 2026. I have not even touched any other scholarship through that I website I only scrolled through to see what was available. I canceled my card and ordered a new one, then I tried contacting customer services through email and have not received any help.
