7.02 pm nov 27 .  dead air. said hello. try again i can't hear you. then hit ######### & hung up

alors ils ont une option bilingue à leur message, sans toutefois avoir de numéro sans frais.  j'ai reçu ce message en français et le message était de très mauvaise qualité.  Je me demande toujours pourquoi moi???

This is the third or fourth time that I've received a call from this Small Business Granting company.  The recording is very poor quality and annoying. I just called the number left (613) 686-1295 and went through the prompts to get removed from the list.  It remains to be seen if we actually get removed.  The caller ID # that comes up when the call comes in is 000-012-3456 which is very strange.

Dec. 7, 2007,Can tell you it must be illegal because they are supposed to leave a Free1-800 number to call back on.I found website:www.sbfc.ca1-+1 800-591-6541 to request to be removed from list, remember to ask to be removed from all affiliated companies.

I get calls soliciting the Small Business Funding Centre in Ottawa but the call display is a # from Iowa, 641-715-3900.  Totally a scam!

Dec 19, 2007 I had been receiving calls for past 2 weeks and normally it was an auto dialer calling me on a Sunday night. Caller claims to be Small Business Funding Centre. Seems fishy that they would not leave a 1-800 # to call back to if it was in fact the gov't of Canada. Also, the calls prompts you to press "1" on you phone if you do not want a gov't grant or are NOT starting a business and want to be removed from list. A couple more things sketchy about hte message. The recording makes several mistakes in setting his voice message but leaves them anyway rather then recording over the mistakes correctly. I doubt a government official would do this. Also, the message is in English only (normally Feds would have English and French message).When I called back to the 613068601295 number, I pressed 1, waited and got someone live. When I explained why I was calling, she said an attendant would be back to me. Nobody ever called back. I called again. This time after pressing "1" I was asked to stay on the line and that I could expect "DEAD" air but to rest assured; someone would be with me. Next thing I heard all kinds of crazy electronic noises. So, I hung up. I thin ksomeone was trying to use my phone number to make long distance calls or something.
