On my way to tell them about “Grant Bae.” They promised “guaranteed” grants to minority-owned businesses. Some people paid as much as $6,999 for a package that was supposed to bring in $250K. Nobody got paid. Then the feds charged them with wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors say about $2.9 million was spent on cars, jewelry and gambling.[justice] My company was one of the victims. Today I’m standing with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Jacksonville. A real grant writer never guarantees you a grant. Remember that. #GrantBae #GrantScam #SmallBusiness #ScamAlert #Jacksonville
