You know? when the use of a thing is not known abuse is totally unavoidable, actually this testimony is not ordinary to me trust me because, I use to be in a deep s**t with my profile dripping with a lorry load of loans foreclosure and enough hard enquires that could get me bankrupt. I had a psycho as a husband who literally spent our life savings on women and drugs although we're divorced still he hunts me with my bad profile(425)..not until I found KREPAIRS SERVICES some weeks back, with hi...

Merchant Circle stole content from a website/business I listed on Merchant Circle in good faith as a way to market my customers small businesses. I had improperly named two businesses and had other typos. MC's listings contain the precisely the same errors. After being Mayor for 6 month and offering coupons for 2 years, I got ZERO business from them. But they stole what was a 5 - 10k a year earning website and the reason I spent 120 total hours creating it. 1/3 of this time actually walking... Read More »

The company "merchantcircle.com" portrays itself as a site where consumers can get information on various companies. Unfortunately, the only real purpose they serve is to gouge business owners a fee to correct or investigate an erroneous review. All phone numbers (aside from the 351-900 number) they have listed are disconnected. The owner "Jennifer" has removed her last name from her domain name registry out of shame. She now calls herself Jennifer Jennifer. It's a complete scam of the small... Read More »

I've sent numerous requests into Merchant Circle asking to gain control of our page - Lieberman Management Services. It shows the wrong address and we'd like access to this page and to be able to change the address. There are also numerous reviews on our page that are false and libelous. Why does it take so long for Merchant Circle to get back to me? Why is there not a customer service phone number we can call? Our company is very close to reporting MC to the Better Business Bureau. Ridiculou... Read More »

I opened an account with MerchantCircle last month. I am paying them a monthly fee so I am not just using their free listing. When I google my business name I find two listings that have the incorrect address. I have e-mailed them twice to complain. I am not able to claim those two listings because when I attempt to do so I get an error message saying that the e-mail address is already being used by someone else! I have explained this problem to MerchantCircle in both my e-mails.... Yet they... Read More »

Merchant Circle is a great Free site to add our business and to help create an online presence. I am still debating on taking the plunge and upgrade to the premium service and spend the money. We have connected with three hundred other business and everything that puts you out there is a plus and so many others are on MC so they must feel positive about MC also. Thanks Merchant Circle. wwwjandbusedautopartscom Read More »

This site writes terrible reviews and will not post anything that contradicts them unless you purchase a membership. They have been reported to the FCC and states attorney generals offices. Example Southpaws Pet Spa in Fairhope, Alabamas reports that are bogus and will not be replaced by others who tell a different story. It now seems to be a trend to use bullying tactics, AKA protection programs that should be and are illegal. Read More »

Merchants Circle is nothing more then a blackmailer who added my business name to their list without my permission and tried to get me to sign up with them to be able to control my so called reviews by people who I have never even heard of let alone one of my many customers. One day the court will shut this scam company down or perhaps lawyer file class action suit. Read More »

While a member of MerchantCircle.com, I purchased the PremiumCircle package for $99.00 per month. With this paid product I received 15 internal ads which showed up on merchants pages that I connected with, 7 extra cities, and a SPONSORED AD (Google Adword campaign). The sponsored ad part of the package I believe is run by some 3rd party Neanderthals somewhere in India. When my ad was first published, I would see it within the results of the sponsored ads when I typed in my keywords and GEO ta... Read More »

Dealing with this company has been a nightmare. My personal telephone number and old address was listed for a company that has a very similar name as mine and a negative review (I should say it was more malicious than anything) was left, intended for a different company. I faxed over Merchant Circle's listing removal form and two months later, nothing was done. I spend hours trying to talk to someone on their live chat who said they removed the listing, however, they didn't remove them all. T... Read More »

Approximately 2 years ago we started getting mail for a company which we will call "pebbles of the night". I will not give the real name of the company as I have not asked the owner's permission to do so. We have been inundated with the unsolicited type of mail, credit card applications, advertising junk etc. The "pebbles" company are in our town, but the owner has never lived at our address. We are the second owners of this house. The first owners built it and do not know of any "pebble" co... Read More »

I have no idea what this company is and have never heard of it before tonight when I was reviewing my charges on my credit card and there is a charge of $39.95 to a company called Gateway to Branson. When I look that up it brings me to the Merchantcircle website. Not sure what the charge is for but plan on finding out with the number that is provided here for the company. I don't own any business so I'm not sure why I would be needing their services. I don't really take kindly to charges on m... Read More »

MerchantCircle has been instrumental in getting my business seen in my local community as well as on Google. They have many features such as newsletters, blogs, unlimited picture upload, coupons, advertisements, etc. that you can use to promote your business. I have also met some great merchants from all around the United States and have used their services and products. It is a wonderful community... Read More »

Because of MerchantCircle.com's wonderful reviews of Heat USA (HeatUSA.com and HeatingOil.com, same company) I lost over $25,000.00 in Heating Equipment (I didn't need) and damages. MerchantCircle.com is a Fraudulent Consumer Advocate Company and Website. It lures consumers to their website by locations.

Very poor customer service. Merchantcircle has consistently ignored many issue's I have submitted to there on site MC link. 1 The first issue I have is that there site is down more than its available. I pay for sponsorship ads but feel its cost is not worth the investment. If I cannot access Merchant Circle, It goes to figure others cannot as well.MC has accnoughladged this and said they added three month sponsorship for free for the inconvenience. The problem with that is that the only way... Read More »

On the chat I was mysterious disconnected three times right before my issue was resolved, I have sent email, to no avail, I have tried several numbers I have found for them which no one answers, besides the fact that I have not seen any increase of web traffic or business from th...

I just spent 45 minutes on a “chat session” to get the account for my business rest. An old employee “claimed” our listing and I couldn’t get on to correct any of the information. I waited over 10 minutes for someone to respond to my initial inquiry. Response was extremely slow once the representative replied. The person was rude, unhelpful and in the end just dropped the conversation after 30 minutes. He/She didn’t even reset my account after I had given the information requested. I waited 1...

This company is impossible to contact. To talk to a live person they charge $34 and their "Live Chat" person online wouldn't address my problem and dumped me. I am simply trying to get them to remove my private telephone number from being listed as the number for a business. All I get from them is a request to "claim" the business and make the change myself by filling our information online. I'm not the business owner so how can I say it is mine? It makes no sense. I would highly suspect any... Read More »

This is a private address and I DO NOT want it listed on their website.

MerchantCircle is a scam to get small business' money. They put up "free" business listings and let anyone assume control of them even if they have no affiliation with the business in question. That's what happened in my case and the person with control is using it to libel my business. Then MerchantCircle refuses to speak with you unless you pay a $34.95 charge. This is the type of over the top fraudulent behavior that gives the internet a bad name for all the honest merchants out there. ... Read More »
