Unfortunately, it is considered B2B and the FCC won't do crap to stop it.  

The only caveat is if you are not the owner of the business llisted in their database and they are calling your home and/or cell phone, then you can do something.

I have used MC and actually was interviewed as a top merchant by Inc Magazine.  It's good for a local small business like mine to get on the web quick and easy.  The cost is free for the basic listing.  

A lot like Facebook or MySpace but for promoting B2B communities.

As far as growing my business, I have had a significant number of B2B leads that have successfully closed SALES.  First time getting a call though and not sure what to make of it.

Got a call about someone wanting me to 'verify' my site.  I want to know who and how to verify site but no one to contact (online chat available for one hour a day (so tey say)  After reading what these folks are writing I may remove my site from merchantcircle.

Yes, Merchant Circle is a company of liars and thieves.  They've sent me spam calls in the past trying to get me to visit their web site.  The first time, I had no idea who they were, and the recorded call said that someone had written something negative about my company.  I went to the web site to see what they were talking about, and it was all a lie.  It's just a spam site and there were no comments.

I suspect that they make these dishonest calls to try to drive up traffic to their site, and then they try to sell ads on the site or something, citing the traffic.  Or hey, maybe they just lie to advertisers, too.

I hope the people who run this site get killed by drunk drivers.  That way they'd die and we'd also take out a drunk driver.

It's Merchant Circle trying to get you to advertise with them...It's an emanate front..it's a put on. Hang up and don't let it rent space in your brain.

got a call from this number and no one would speak, just sat on the line until I told them they were being recorded.

I also am receiving the pre-recorded business verification calls from Merchant Circle! I am doing my best to identify the source and to end the account upgrade methodologies utilized by this company. There has been no inquiry by a prospect!
If you have remedied the abuse please contact me personally and share the information.

Over and over and over again this number calls me. This last time they wanted to call just to hear me say "hello" I really wish they would stop calling. This is a business, not grand central station! If you call me, then talk to me, otherwise I don't want to hear the phone ring!

Merchantcircle is hiding their information, hosting contacts and the like. Someone did a little research and found that they are hosting with the following firm:

Silicon Valley Colocation, Inc.
PO Box 390804
Mountain View, CA 94039
Phone 4087470724
Phone 408400-0550
email: abuseteam@svcolo.com
info@svcolo.com
support@svcolo.com

These people knew nothing of the trouble and asked that people contact them with complaints. Lets make a difference and shut down a bad company.

got a call today googled did not answer any news on this. I actually am on their site as a business owner and frankly have not had time to do anything with it yet. who knows more detail  480-543-1367

I am on the do not call list. I have told them several times and they still call every day!

Phone rings, no one is on the line. Very disruptive to our business.

You can get a GrandCentral.com (Google) phone number (free but you may have to wait for an invite or find someone with an open invitation to give you).

Then, give out that as your number and any one routed through them can be blocked at your control, permanently stopped a number of nuisance calls we were receiving. Now, when the phone rings it's someone I need or want to talk to.
