 They tell you that all you have to do is send them a small handling fee and your grant packet will be sent to you. Just don't hold your breath. I will wait for your check in the mail. Oh, I also take PayPal. You are welcome. Always willing to help.

The latest version seems to involve requesting bank account information to withdraw the $200 service charge.
Nice.
