Is This Site Legit?

Hi all

I recently found this website http://www.grantsdot.com which offers the chance to find out if the government owes you money that you may not know about.

My question is this, it seems too good to be true, so is it?

Thanks!

    Did you find it, or was it a link from an email?

    Quite a few on here have been emailed about various amounts in grants they could get - seems to be the current scam...

    It's an American site, so of no interest to most on here.

    I would say it's a scam in the sense that it will charge you for doing something you could easily do for yourself. There are lots of grants available in the US, and most of them are not widely publicised. But they are available if you around.
