This is a warning to any potential or current employee of Jatech or JSI Web (1601088 Ontario Inc.) based out of Toronto Ontario. Do not work here! you will not get paid! Whether you're being hired as computer programmer or for SEO services. Do not work for Dave Conrad of Jatech!

It must first be noted that their are a number of affiliated businesses in this report, although I can assure you that they are all the same business and operate out of the same office at the following address:

29 Gervais Drive, suite 301
Toronto, Ontario
M3C 1Z3

The businesses are as follows: (Do not do business with any of these companies)

Jatech www.jatech.ca
JSI Web (as read on the sign on the office wall)
JSI Web tools www.jsiwebtool.com
JSI Corp www.jsicorp.com
Cheap web hosting canada www.cheapwebhostingcanada.ca
eco electronic cigarettes eco-electroniccigarettes.com

This is also a warning to anyone requiring Web development services, web hosting, SEO services or website design. Jatech, JSI web tools and Cheap Web Hosting Canada are all rip offs! When I worked for Jatech it was a constant battle between the owner, Dave Conrad and his customers who were never happy with any of the services he provided. Several were forced to take legal action against Jatech.

When I was reviewing Jatech's websites before my interview at www.jsiwebtools.com and www.jatech.ca, the only question I could think to myself was - "If this is a web development company, why are these websites so poorly designed and created with such dated software"

Please don't be fooled by the seemingly lower prices for website design at Jatech. You will not get what you pay for, that is if you get anything at all.

More red flags went up when I met the owner of Jatech, Dave Conrad, who hired me without asking me any questions and stated he was "bad at hiring people" and didn't feel it necessary to ask anything.

Two and a half weeks after working at Jatech, it was finally payday ( or so I thought). While other employees were getting their cheques, I was informed that there was a two week delay on new employees cheques and I would not be paid until the following paycheques were issued (two weeks later).

It had been 1 month since I started at Jatech and it was finally my first pay day. Again. I was issued a cheque for my first two weeks of pay, but told not to cash it right away because Jatech had just received payment for a large website we were working on. (more red flags). When the cheque finally gets deposited and comes back NSF, I had been working at Jatech for 5 weeks.

I was furious but the boss immediately issued another cheque and assured me it will go through if I wait until next week. It feels like I have no choice, so I continue to work, but of course the new cheque doesn't go through either. I quit immediately and tell Dave that Jatech can deal with the labour board.

Being a web development company, the Jatech and the said businesses have the ability to take on many identities, It should be noted that this made it very difficult to file an employment claim against Jatech. Evidently my employer Dave Conrad knew this and has been running this scam for quite some time.

I found out the business is listed with the company name 601088 Ontario Inc. However it I will likely never receive payment for my 6 weeks working for Dave Conrad and his scam company Jatech.

Customers and employees please beware of any business with any name located at

29 Gervais Drive, suite 301
Toronto, Ontario
M3C 1Z3

avoid at all cost

The problem with this type of site is that anyone can say anthing. Who is Paul Rimer. I do not know a Paul Rimer. Is this a complaint laid by a real person or is it a fake by a competitor? If anyone can rate anything without pproper checks and balances then this is not a servidce with a value.

My review is from an employee's point of view. I worked for Jatech/JSI Corp ran by Ken Conrad aka David Conrad. I worked there for about 5 to 6 months and must say that i'm surprised he's still in business. I've seen him lie to and cheat clients, when things go wrong he would bark at employees instead of bad management skills. What really made me leave the company though is the 2-4 NSF paychecks i got for the time I was there. Upon submitting a complaint to the Ministry of Labor i got a reply from them months after only to learn that I'm in a line of a long list of other complaints.

I used Jatech to make my web site and to market it on the search engines. The went a week over the quoted time it would take but they did some extra functionality for no charge so that is cool. We are number one for almost all of our keywords and that is great. I tried Google Ad words before and that was too expensive. Jatech is doing the SEO now and the results are much better and it is less expensive.

I have had a web site www.pagesnpages.com completed by Jatech.ca and boy was this experience so much better than the two previous developers I dealt with. They not only did what I asked but also gave me a lot of great ideas. This was a fairly low budget web site about $2000. It it working well so now I am almost finished with my second project with Jatech and this one is a $15,000 site and it is on time and works great - we should launch it in a week or so. Great job Jatech.

In wb development, there sometimes is a creep problem - I mean that the client keeps asking for more and more work and doesn't want to pay a fair price. Of course the web developers should work for free once a payment has been made - the can add specifications & requirements and the price should stay the same.

Also, DC Data never had a contract with George Jobel and never will. His contract was with a previuos owner.

I am George Jobel, a web designer in Concord NH. We contracted David Conrad and Jatech.ca to complete a somewhat sophisticated database for an official city web site. They quoted us, accepted our deposit, never signing the contract. They later indicated the site was misquoted, several times asked for more money (occasionally appropriately for added features) and have not yet satisfied the client, even though it is now April, 2008 and the site was guaranteed to be completed by September 1, 2006. During that period of time several of their phone numbers have become inactive, the phone number I have routinely use is not answered, and I typically reach an 'unidentified' voice mail box that is generally full.

I have tried email, voice mail and nothing seems to prompt a response. If anyone is out there who can help me connect to David Conrad or JaTech.ca, please call me at 603.369.1471. Thank you.
