Having never applied for a grant tipped me off that this was a scam when I received a letter with a check that is meant to look like it was drawn off of a legitimate financial institution. Since I have worked in the banking industry for 15 years, I could easily spot that the check not being valid as there were misspellings, and although a nice attempt at making the check look like it was affiliated with Key Bank, they failed to get the correct key bank numbers on the check!
The amount I was enticed with on the check was $971.51, promising me another 9029.00 once I cash the check and "send away" for my 9K. And of course, they only want me to send them $500 before I get my 9K. Sure, I'll get right on that and sending me to collections? Nice try. I also train FDCPA (Federal Debt Collection Practices Act) and a true grant is never sent to collections nor would a legitimate company ever ask you to send the $500 commission check via a "Greendot MoneyPak!"
Minix Enterprises was the "affiliate" that Greendot claims to have gotten my grant from. Beware of any of these company names and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS ESPECIALLY WHERE MONEY IS CONCERNED!
