Formerly available at http://www.consumer.state.ny.us/pdf/misleading_grant_guides.pdf
The business of government grants is thriving. Companies selling guides to government grants -- and scam artists peddling "guaranteed" government grants -- are profiting from the false notion that the government has billions of dollars available to help people pay their credit-card bills and other expenses.

(Excerpt) A report by the New York State Consumer Protection Board, Dec. 2004, 33pp. Would anyone residing in New York be willing to contact the New York State Consumer Protection Board and ask why they took down this valuable resource? Does the New York State Library archive electronic state government publications? Any help would be appreciated. Fortunately we saved a paper copy which we have just cataloged, but it would be great to maintain a link to an electronic version as well! Jon Harrison
