Has anyone heard of these guys, http://grantsandfunding.org.uk/ they say that I have been awarded a grant and that I've to arrange an appointment to discuss this further. I received a few emails in the last 2 weeks and texts from BIZGRANTS. Got the feeling that its too good to be true that they've found a grant for our business. Having read a few posts earlier in this thread, the address seems quite similar. This company are apparently based in Woking. Its parent company is registered on Companies House. I would def not be parting with any money, that is for sure!! I've tried to find out more about them, but seem to have drawn a blank
Thanks for reading

I've got names and even a phone number but I don't know whether they're the actual people or if they've been cloned. I've forwarded it to the fraud squad but I've heard nothing in almost 3 weeks. They're useless
