The b***h is back!  That irritating female voice that was once known as Anna from The Moving Company - phone numbers (416) 657-2693 and (647) 477-8099 now has returned as Sarah representing the Small Home Business Centre located in Ottawa.  The number she gives is (613) 216-9410.  Guess the heat was on them in Toronto from constantly bugging the crap out of people calling them hundreds of times.

I got a message on my answering machine from this man Denis St-Jacques yesterday and I gave it a try today and I spoke to a Trevor Greenwood who spoke very well in French, although with an accent.  He explained to me about the program and asked me for my home address to send my a how-to-start a business kit with phone numbers from the government and an application with the catch that I had to pay $267.00 today and again in 2 weeks with my credit card.  He gave me a toll free number 1-+1 800-658-9792 extension 212.  As I was thinking about all this, almost giving my credit card number over the phone to a complete stranger, I started reading the messages on this site and I was shocked and told him that I would call later another day.  It scared me to think that I almost got ripped off.  So, it's too good to be true, thanks for the warning.  I got another phone number to call on the first message I got and it's not the same as you guys, I was given this number: (613) 963-0474

J'ai reçu un appel de Denis St-Jacques aujourd'hui (appel enregistré) 21 mai 2008 sur mon répondeur. Il m'invite à l'appeler pour profiter de programmes de subventions mal connus pour les entreprises en démarrages? Des prograsmmes bons pour mon entreprises et ma famille???? J'ai immédiatement eu la puce à l'oreille...Je croyais connaître toutes ces opportunités puisque je suis réellement très alerte aux opportunités gouvernementales en ce moment....j'ai tout compris quand j'ai trouvé ce site internet. Son nom de téléphone est maintenant (613) 963-0473.......et Il parle au nom du 'Centre d'aide au financement d'entreprise'...Faites gaffe SVP....

I recieved a call about a Denis St. Jacques. I have a small business and do need aid. I thought it was too good to be true that the government had grantsavailable for people like me. I think this abusive. My friend was lured into giving out funds to one of these scam artists. I had a stroke in 2006 an am partially handicapped. I have thousandsof designs I made when healthier and would like to market. This is an injustice. I have been ripped off too many times in the past. I was ushered out the door at Cinar, I was told there were no animation jobs by Harold Greenberg, the man who created teletoons, I was told by Rolands printing that did Marvel comics that they only published yellow pages, I lost a job at Dale Chandler Kennedy architects when Trudeau created petrocan and the resultant depression caused the expanding Edmonton office to cutback instead. I couldn't sell beer at the Olympic games because I was English or work at an exhibition design company. The municipal government asked me to fill out papers for my requirements for an office in 1986 than used the provincial funds to build a gymnasium instead. I could go on and on. My friend works like a horse on the internet but can't collect because we live in Quebec and I still owe money on the computer I bought her. Call in the police - this corruption must end. People must here our circumstances and of our good work.

Le message était en français. Une publicité supposée du gouvernement du Canada pour aider les petites entreprises. L'homme dit que plusieurs programmes du gouvernement du Canada sont peu connus et il nous invite à appeler "le centre". Le centre de quoi pensez-vous ? Un gros racket !

NOW IN ENGLISH : A man called (voice recording)and said that the goverrnement of Canada had numerous programs unknown to small businesses and invite the pepole to call the "Center". The center of what, you think ? CERTAINLY A BIG RACKET.

Should we call the police?
