Unim Web's web site address is www.unimweb.com. They also used another name. It is Irvine Web.

They are located in Irvine, CA.

The free National Grants Conference was in Tyler, TX. at that time. They move around to different cities.

Thanks, Sandy

went to a free conference having to do with getting information on Government grants. Needless to say, I didn't have the $900 to get started. So for those who were not able to purchase the grant information, they had an offer for us to buy a cd so we could advertise a business on the web. It came with their guarantee that they would build and host the website for a $29.99/monthly hosting fee.

Anyway, after paying $129.00 membership fee, I left the conference knowing that I would have a website built very soon. A month began to pass and I started receiving calls from them asking me if I wanted to purchase a webstore per say. I was really upset because I just shelled out all that money.

As days passed, I was told to call back when I made my mind up about the kind of package I wanted. In 3-4 days time, I was told to "call back","I'll call you back" or that the person I spoke to either wasn't there or gave me the wrong pricing information.

Needless to say, I ended up canceling the whole deal. I felt that they could not be trusted. They took enough money already. I wasn't about to let them have me going for broke.

If you are wondering about the website, I never got a days worth out of it. So if you hear of UNIM Web or Irvine Web hiding behind the name of National Grants Conference, run the opposite way in my opinion. Email User
