Received a call today from the "Small Business Finance Centre" (AKA "Small Business Funding Centre") offering a free publication that describes how to obtain federal loans/grants for small business owners. They're based in Ottawa, but are using a New York telemarketer to get around the Do Not Call restrictions.

To be blunt, SBFC are scammers. Once an agent has you on the line, they give you the hard sell. The supposedly free publication turns into a $600 fee (two payments of $297 to 350) to obtain the information necessary to get the grants. Don't get sucked in! This information can be found for free with a bit of research. The federal government's "Canada Business: Services for Entrepreneurs" website is a good place to start: canadabusiness.gc.ca (Click the "Financing" link for solid info on loans and such)

How do I stop them from calling?

  1. Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
  2. If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
  3. Block them with a call blocker:
