The Paragon Atelier & C3Haus Reports & Reviews (1)

- Minneapolis, MN, USA • Jul 14, 2024

I purchased a grant writing service from Dana Marie Scales in November 2023. At the time she used two company names, The Paragon Atelier and C3Haus together or interchangeably. I never understood that whole thing.

Initially she was very attentive, making grand promises. The offer(s) were clear, outlining specific timelines and actions. However, nothing materialized.

I was drawn in by her social media success stories and kept investing despite seeing no results or evidence of her doing anything. Her promises were empty, and her results were even emptier. She constantly made excuses and even abandoned an entire class of virtual students.

Dana weaves a beautiful story but lacks the expertise and ability to deliver. Her tactics resemble those in the true story depicted in Inventing Anna. Despite her grand promises, her excuses for extending our relationship were absurd. She claimed to have no money but had hired a team (which I now believe to be fictitious).

She said I was awarded a grant with a disbursement date well out in the future, only for the organization to supposedly change its mind. But I was always the one who had to follow up. How can a liar remember all the lies?

After disputing credit card charges, she hastily put together systems that were long overdue, including a “business card” website, essentially a landing/sales page with no navigation.

Finally, I received a Google Doc spreadsheet showing which grants she claimed to have applied for, when, and for how much.

Upon investigation, I discovered some organizations were bogus, and some grants were for specific demographics I don’t qualify for. She applied (not) for a grant for writers of fiction (I am a non-fiction writer). When I said I don’t qualify, her response was “I’ll ask.” [what clout does she think she have over an organization’s mission and how they choose to invest?!]

Legitimate organizations informed me that it’s against their terms and conditions for someone not an officer of the business to apply on behalf of someone else. A grant she claimed to apply for monthly (using different email addresses) had only one application from someone with my name and email, which I personally submitted in May 2024.

Reviewing her spreadsheet, I found she had even prefilled a grant application date of July 11. I was conducting due diligence the week prior. I have not gone through the entire document to see if that is a pattern.

Everything about her services is fictitious, with intent to deceive, if not outright commit fraud. And I know this extends beyond the US borders, and that I am not alone in this.

I am sure I could go on. I have LOTS of proof…

In the meantime, she has added [email protected] as an email address. Your system would not allow me to add 2.
