Currently, this site is technically safe for your computer: _https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/merchantcircle.com/relations That said, Merchant Circle *was* what its name implies: a circle of merchants supposedly boosting each other's reputations. It's a haphazard aggregator of data about businesses scraped from other haphazard business data scrapers and aggregators, resulting in obsolete and/or incorrect business listings, or even unsolicited visitors to private homes. What makes this haphazard aggregator stand out from the others is that it's barely maintained, displays links to obsolete resources such as StumbleUpon, attempts to load obsolete malware-friendly resources such as Adobe Flash (which fortunately fails), apparently doesn't respond to support requests unless via Better Business Bureau complaints (but has an "A" rating anyway), lists distant businesses as neighbors, and accepts spammy business profiles from just about anybody - i.e., it's a link farm. If you don't already have a profile at MC, don't waste your time adding one. If you do have one, try to either fix it or get it removed. It's presence there has no SEO value because MC may arbitrarily assign a spammer as your "neighbor" or "friend".

The phone # on all the possible places to contact them is not just busy, it just immediately drops your call. You never get anyone unless you go through the backdoor somehow. The site??? If you click on one property, it forces you to select 3 sites to choose from and does a sneaky redirect to other 3rd part sites. You don't get any information from this site, only phishing for email addresses. I've heard very, very bad things about these people and their practices. If you can't "Answer your phone" that.. it's a pretty big black mark.

I am confused by the high ratings for this site and the number of negative responses?

merchantcircle's listing for our club has consistently placed our actual website lower in googles rankings. In effect they are holding our url for ransom. For a fee they will stop redirecting. There needs to be an authority were complaints like this can be addressed.

Scam Scam Scam You see a phone number to call for this company and they want to charge you $37.00 just to call for customer service and $40.00 more to remove your listing that never gets removed. If you type in your company’s name, you see Merchant Circle’s crappy posting. It’s like a virus you can’t kill! *****

This company is locally owned and operated and is not a part of any conglomerate! The site contains no tracking or 3rd party cookies or pop-ups. Submitted information is never shared with any 3rd party.

This company is part of a media conglomerate called Global Crossing Telecommunications that operate under many different names. They link with Yahoo to offer services such as internet coupon and business reviews that favor the company. If a customer leaves an unflattering review of a restaurant, they give the owner the heads up to delete it before posting (for a fee I'm sure.)Their bate is ads for free stuff - even money for college, They prey on social networks, use Career Builders, surveys, whatever. Armed with your info,they will spam you or call incessantly. Rule of thumb: if the caller ID # is out of service and the call back mail box is full, it's a scam.
