I've heard other stories like yours. What people find objectionable are their marketing tactics, which amount to a scare campaign to get small businesses owners to visit the site and create an account so that MC can inflate its traffic and membership numbers, making itself appear more valuable to possible purchasers.

I don't see why all of you have had so many problems. I went form 10-15 interested customers visits to my site to now more then 4075 per month. I am able to send out news letters to my customers, run new coupons ads, Blog, link up with other businesses in the area and my ad run on there web page and vise verse. I have uploaded pic of my work and equipment. I run a small business in Sioux Falls SD. I spend anywhere form 1-4 hrs a week on it. Run a google search for ( Dust Mites Sioux Falls ) and I am on top with my merchantcirle listing. or ( steam cleaning Sioux falls ) Maybe you should take sometime to look your own listing. I used to spend $190 mo in the local paper and I got nothing. Now I spend nothing but some (time) and get great results.

I certianly don't need any verification on my part to know I am a legit business. Been in this business since 2003. These phone calls had better stop...If someone in my town (Jackson,Michigan) want to know if I am in business, they can check the phone book...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I am a certified business.

I also filled out the "remove company listing" form, yet my company profile still stays there. These people have no ethics. I’ve filled out both of those forms in the past, yet they keep calling me.
