Canada Business Pages Online/Credit Dispute Company Canada Media PagesAmerican Media PagesCBPO scam mislead Dollard - Des - Ormeaux Nationwide
In February, we received a call from “Gloria” from Canada Business Pages Online claiming we are due for a renewal of our subscription for Online marketing on google/yahoo and MSN using unique key words so our business can be easily located through a search engine. I said we had no dealings with this business until the day I received that call.
I never thought anything else until Sept 22 when “Natasha” called. She mentioned it was noted on our account to not be re-instated and I said that is correct. She wanted to know why and I told her why. She then told me that there will be another charge of $594.99 as it does come into another year. I said well we just paid $594.99 in March and my understanding it was a year or two. She said that was for 2012. I said really. I asked if there was a way she could send me stats to prove this service is working and she said yes. She can e-mail it to me before the end of the day.
I ran a google, yahoo and MSN search using unique key words such as HVAC, Air conditioning, Air conditioning repair, prefab coolers, walk-ins, etc and could not find Dan Spence Refrigeration Ltd on the first pages of either search engine. Running certain key words would give me Dan Spence Refrigeration Ltd on CBPO.ca.

They called and "claimed" work was done after a letter was sent from our bank on our behalf. Some is included above. They sent us links which made no sense and who's to say they never added it because they were caught.
IP addresses were pointed in USA & Montreal.
There are a few sets of 800 notes and other links that I dug up.
Please beware everyone who is in business.
Thanks!

We also received calls from their collections and when I e-mailed them to tell them to lay off, their collections had the nerve to send us what they were trying to tell us. These businesses are definitely not credible. I believe it is coming from the same place. It's a mix of Canada & USA info.
Thanks.
