This is a scam. On one of the other Yahoo Answer topics with similar questions post a Washington Consumer Protection number. IT is 206-464-6684. CDI Resources is a complete scam and I feel ashamed to admit I was scammed. I researched this company to death and couldn’t find any more than everyone else. If you get a call from Lee Rush from CDI Resources, Wilkinson Services, or anyone named Michael, don’t fall for it. They want you to pay up front for a one time fee of $489 in a cashier’s check and they guarantee you a pay out for grant money. It’s all fake.

Never use a grant writer. When you go to a foundation and they ask you a question about your grant proposal that you can’t answer, you’re toast.

Sorry to hear that you were scammed, I think I know some people were were also scammed but it is a shame that these things continue to happen. Just two days ago, I received a call from RMS Firm, with a Florida number and the same set and system as CDI. The interesting thing is that I did not apply to RMS and had never heard from them. I went along with it..”Melanie Cook” the advisory told me that I was “approved for $40K and congratulations…all I had to do was mail in a cashier’s check for $489 by tomorrow.” Naturally, I went along with the whole thing and then I bluntly told her that she was a scammer. Couple of things to note, if they have two pieces of your identification, eg., name and DOB, they can get into your bank accounts, etc (this was told to me by the State Attorney Gen’l Office). Also, they always want to know if you are a US citizen and after you sign the very non-descript contract, they will have your signature…DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! No way, no how can you be approved via telephone for a grant without any detailed documentation..Each company, CDI or RMS is not incorporated or legit…the cashier’s check is treated as cash and hard to trace…they probably send it off to an offshore bank account. Beware!!!!

They are a scam-according to the Attorney General. 2 cases pending so far where they sent in the 489.00 and now can’t get a hold of anyone. you will not get a grant, they just want your hard earned money. Hang up on them if they call.
