I didn't receive a call from this number, but it showed up on my bank account with a charge. Apparently this number is the phone number that www.grantconnect.com uses when they charge your bank account the monthly fee + servicing fee ($39.95) listed in their Terms & Conditions after you have signed up to receive the "free cd-rom" from their "service." Beware that you have most likely unknowingly also signed up for two other services that will also start charging you a monthly fee - ID LockOn and Member Legal Net. To call to cancel these:
Grant Connect
1-888-573-6126
ID LockOn
1-800-741-0372 (or
1-800-418-4817)
Member Legal Net
1-888-642-0016
I called all three "companies" and found out I had membership accounts at all three that would start charging me after a "free trial period" -- I did not realize when I signed up to receive the free CD-Rom that I was giving my bank account information to all three companies. Reading the Terms & Conditions (after having to give a name and address to be able to even access them again)I now see that I should have read them more carefully, but this is definitely a scam that they are running since the Terms & Conditions are in such fine print and they're banking on no one really reading them. You can find the Terms & Conditions at:

Watch out! If you don't cancel, you will end up paying $39.95 + $19.95 + $12.95 each month for these piggyback offers.
I couldn't get the $39.95 back, but at least I won't be charged any more in the future. Tell people to be wary of signing up for Grant Connect.
