Please see this video from CBC exposing Business Registry Center in Montreal

http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/Ottawa/ID/2338816112/

We were receiving collection calls from Mr Anthony and Monica from phone # 18884167472
and invoices from 6228 St-Jacques Street West Ste 417, Montreal QC  H4B 1T6 and emails from contact@businessregistrycenter.com

The only way we were able to get Business Registry Center to cancel the invoice to zero was to send them an email with this link  as well as copying some of the complaints above including the one about 900 complaints to the RCMP fraud squad.  We told them we would never pay their invoice and to stop harassing us or we would be the 901st business to report them to the RCMP.

They sent us a zero invoice within a month of doing this.
Good luck.

The same has happened to me, I received a call on October 2012, the person who called me asked if I was the person in charge of Marketing, so I said Yes, then this person asked me if I was authorized to make payments, and I did say yes... Then she offered me the services, and say what about if I one of my guys from the technical department calls you and speak to you... The only thing that you have to say is that you want to evaluate the services and if you like them you will pay after.  She also told me that she was going to send me a package with an invoice and I like the services I just had to pay and I did not want them, I could cancel the service within two weeks... I waited for that letter to arrive to cancel the service, which off course I did never receive... In December 2012, they started calling my office asking for payment, I said that I have never received any letter from their office, so in January 21, 2013, I received an email with the attached invoice to my personal email

From:    Business Registry Center (contact@businessregistrycenter.com)
Sent:    January-21-13 5:25:01 PM
To:    

At that time, I spoke to Monica from phone # 18884167472, since them, I have been receiving calls, so I felt so harassed that I decided to pay, fortunately, I did realize that this was a scam so  I did withdraw the money from my checking account. The original bill was for $ 563.87 but the final bill was for $ 374.85 (Cancellation Fee) Then, they started sending Notice (3 in total) to my boss, where they ask us to pay otherwise there will be a negative escalation including ruining my personal credit score as well as the company's. Last time, I spoke to Robin Roberts, who was very rude and threatened to contact a lawyer. Her phone number is  1-888-416-7472 or 1-888-404-8616.

On February 26, 2013... I received a call from Monica, where she demanded to know my bank account information, since I did not provide her with this info, she literally says that I am going to be sue by The Business Registry Center because of defamation as I stated that I knew about the scam. She contacted me from phone number 1-303-444-7428...

I spoke to the police and they asked  me to do the following:

Next time, they call you, ask them not to call you back anymore, if they continue harassing, answer the phone and once you have identified where they are calling you,

- DO NOT SPEAK, HANG UP,
- Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone. Press *57 to trace the last call to your line.
If the call was a threat to life, contact the police immediately. If not, the police suggest you trace five or more calls before contacting them.
Be sure to note the date and time of each harassing call.
Call Trace information is released to the police only. You will not be advised of the caller?s number.
Call Trace is effective even when the caller has blocked their name and number.
If you receive nuisance hang-up calls, the police are not in a position to take action.

After the fifth call, contact the police and they will take legal action.

Hope this help!

I received a call last week. I thought it was a legit company just updating our info, such as when you search a directory. Now I received an invoice in the mail and am quite concerned I will be receiving the same treatment as the above posters. I called their number, pressed 0 to get an operator, but the message just kept playing, obviously just a recording to make it sound legit. Tried to cancel their services but just left a message.
Furious!

The invoice keeps going up apparently.  Ours was for $563.87 sent long after the cancellation period is up.
I told them on the initial call that I wasn't authorized for charges to the company.
They told me that our listing was up for renewal and I asked them to send me something by email regarding this.  Of course they didn't and they told me they don't record the initial call.
Do not accept the quality control call where they verify your name and company address, etc.
If fact, hang up if anyone calls you about google or a registry.  That's my advice.
Anthony or Mr. Anthony is who called me back when we told him we were not paying any invoice or a 60% cancellation fee.  BBB does not deal with issues from Quebec.  They refer you to the Federal Competition Bureau  1 819 997 4282

Unbelievable.  They got an employee name off our website and then advised that this employee ordered a service from Business Registry Centre (funny thing is that the employee was off work the date they said he agreed to purchase the service!!!)

I have received harrassing and abusive phone calls (daily), invoices, faxes, etc.  Spread the word on this fraudulent company!!!!!

Anthony is quite the Mobster!!!  He sent me a fax under the name Mr. Reddick but when I asked for his last name he told me it was irrelevant.  I too asked for a recording of the conversation and was advised that it was "not company policy".  The invoice says we are being billed for a posting on Google and Local Business Listing but I can't find anything online about this company?  

Total fraud.  What a waste of my time.

We got an invoice in the mail dated Nov. 1, 2012 in the amount  of 523.95 from the Business Registry Center in Montreal. We phoned them to find out what the invoice was for and were told that it was Google optimization that we requested. (we did not request it and neither did our website developer). I googled this scammy business and found that it is indeed a SCAM so we ignored the bill. Now, we get a call today from Jodi who says she is calling from the collections dept of the Business Registry Centre ... obviously not even a REAL collection agency. I am going to report this to the BBB, the local RCMP detachment and the media as well .... hopefully nobody has paid these scammer a cent!!! But the calls better stop immediately!

Hey I don't know if my work would like me to reply to these but they harass us also with the same story. We never agreed to anything, they  threaten us, we don't budge and they keep threatening. We also called the cops and I advise everyone to do the same. To anyone new to these types of sites ignore Red (AKA Mr.Reddick the scammer), Samantha and Jack. These people are clearly part of the scam, no ones going to post positive things about a 888 number on these sites that are all about exposing them. They are definitely shillers. I mean if you got good service you would go to there website and applaud them not 800notes.com. to see the negatives. So from everybody nice scam attempt.  

Fun fact! Paul Reddick is a famous Jazz musician almost certainly where the got the name from.

PS. Ernie why don't you post a link to your site and let Jason or web design teacher from a popular school look at it because we all think you're lying.

Hey, we have a very simulator story. They have been calling and HARASSING!! us like you wouldn't believe. So we had enough of these people and called the cops on them and were told the same story. The cop told us about the amount of complaints and told us to just hang up on them. We also called an blocked there number but now they just use a different line to an jam our fax. To anyone who is worried about them don't be. They never let you hear these so called tapes where you never agree to whatever there saying because we would have gladly paid and accepted our mistakes but they just lied about everything.

To Erine they're not doing anything for you. You appear first because of google not these guys, I went to school for Web Design so, I understood what they were failing to explain. Ernie unless you gave them all your web info including your domain so they could override it which I am 100% confident you didn't. All they claim to do is write

< Keywords "something about your company" , "street name" />
I should also mention there own website doesn't have this and isn't even in xhtml (the newest web writing)
once again that's just sloppy for web fraud.


That's 1 line, does that sound like its worth money? You can google how to do that yourself in under 5 minutes. There website is also a 5 minute wordpress install job with some CSS changes something that any high school student would learn in 5 minutes from a web class not very impressive for people who claim they know the web.

Just ignore Reds and Samantha's comments as when we talked to the cops they already had Lynn's complaint from September so I am sure that this is them just trying to cover there scam.

I have read the comments but I am a little confused right now because they did a great business listing for us and it's ranking front page on Google!!! I have a small business and I really need the exposure on Google to compete with the Walmart and Cosco of this world.

I just called the RCMP fraud squad and they have over 900 complaints about this same company.

They are indeed a fraud and scammers.  The officer told me to hang up if I recieve further calls and not to reply to anything they sent.  

I gave them all the info I had on Mr. Reddick, as well as the computor telephone number he called me back on and all other info I had on this scam.

I also alerted google to this company.  I believe their page is a pishing page.  

Do what you can and report them as well.

RCMP fraud phone number is 888-495-8501

These people are now harrassing me as well.  This is ridiculous!  I NEVER agreed to this.  Nor would I.

Has anyone reported this to the OPP fraud squad?  I am not paying this bill.

The name the man gave me was Jason Reddick and he even spelled it for me.  Same phone number as above and same people.  

He said he had a taped coverstation where I accepted this service. I asked to here it and he said he had to go to the archive to get it.  Then I said you just do that.    I know for a fact all I asked for was information, not services and I told them I did not need this service for my small business. They did not even have my right address I just am not big enough.  I just had this person on the phone, after trying repeatedly to contact them, through hang up calls, and a hang up loop from a call center.  

I also left a message stating this was fraud and I would not be paying this, then they called me back, I called them and finally they called back again with this Reddick guy.

Optimization Becomes Important
Businesses now have two marketing tools that need optimization: their website and their local business listing. Since the local business listing is effectively the interactive yellow pages of the 21st century, businesses need to stop passively watching and actively engaging with their local business listing.
You will find that the local business listing can actually be a website, but probably better to use it as a support tool to your primary website. In order for you to show up in the search results you have to be sure the local business listing has all the right information about your business, products and services. That is then followed by adding photos, videos, coupons, offers, discounts, events and other information that will help the local customer decide to do business with you.
Managing your local business listing includes managing customer reviews and engaging with them not only to secure positive reviews from satisfied customers, but to insure positive public relations with any customers that are less than satisfied.
Finally, the optimization process includes watching the local business listing analytics (separate from your website) and making decisions about how to tweak your listing.
We know it can be confusing and overwhelming let us manage your local business listing for pennies a day.

We have been dealing with Mr. Reddick as well, calling every single day. It has become a huge frustration, as we are a small business with no receptionist (we are a hair salon and all work the desk when we are free) so it has taken up a lot of time. He has become very forceful, demanding we pay our account. When I told him to stop calling, he said he personally promised to call every day until the bill was paid. He cannot tell us what service was provided, and when I cite the invoice number before telling him who I am, he asks. Obviously he doesn't have a legit computer system if he needs to ask who he is speaking with when I give him an invoice number. We have gone as far as to google streetview this address and call all the businesses in view to ask if they are familiar with the company. No on has heard of it, and I don't know where to go from here, It has become borderline scary.

Same thing with us .. their calls are non stop!!!! On an average once a day...... so no website, no email id ...and interestingly when you try to look them up online, nothing comes up on google as well..so what kind of listing are they offering us??? Now the invoice is on our desk and even a "not interested" reply does not put them off..and then a voice mail from their collection centre today and ofcourse no one is available to take a return call !!! I wasnt suspicious of them till recently and today I took sometime to research on them and lo and behold it's a SCAM!!! They are indeed smooth talking and convincing but on a closer look ..all signs are there.. no phone no., no e-mail, no proper website, bad spellings and grammar...I am thanking my stars, my instinct to not do business with them was right!!!! I hope ignoring them for sometime will make them go away!!!!
