Manta unethical behavior

After googling my business awhile back I found the Manta listing for my company, "Claimed it" in order to correct horribly wrong information that was resulting in phone calls for RV repair parts, I sell Renaissance headgear. Someone called me from Manta and we got the info straight, he tried to sell me something but I wasn't buying. I was confident the the info was correct however. Now I received an email to update my listing info and they are using the wrong address. There is an easy way to fix this by buying into it. I am certain that they have purposely changed my address so I would feel compelled to fix it by buying their "service".
I believe this company should be examined for their unethical business practices. Publishing knowingly incorrect business information is damaging, and suggesting that a business pay to correct it is extortion.

Manta Fraud

These guys are nothing but snake oil salesmen. I thought I would give them the benifit of the doubt and try their services for a discounted rate for the first 30 days. I received absolutly no benefit from using their service. When I tried to cancel my account, i was charged the full price for another month of service. After contacting the company to resolve this issue, they basically told me in so many words to F*** off, we are keeping your money. Please save yourself time and money by not using these guys for anything at all.

Manta Spam and Crap in my Email

Inadvertently my email (and name( got tied in with Manta.
Today my inbox is flooded with Manta?Manta associates promotional email that I never subscribed to.
Trying to "Opt Out" only causes more junk to be created.
Manta operates in a pure "Rogue Criminal" method supposedly trying to promote someones business and/or business model.
I am operating a small business that I want to control. In other words, I don't want the tail wagging the dog!
There has to be a way to stop this. I use this email account for at least 30 other contacts and all of my SPAM is generated by Manta/Associates!
My message to anyone reading this "DO NOT SUBSCRIBE/AGREE to anything associated with Manta, or it subsidiaries!

Manta invasive violation of privacy; class action lawsuit

Let's bring legal action against this horrid cabal of criminals. How can we shut them down? Their business practices violate the very tenet of personal liberties, one of which is our right to privacy. What they do is no different than identity theft. I will nor rest until these ###s are yanked off of the internet for good.

They are horrible people. Just because information, such as your home address, phone number, property value, etc. can be found in public files, does not mean someone (or some company) should have the right to disseminate it as they wish. Manta.com then attempts to charge you money with the promise to take the information down (and then they don't, by the way!) This amounts to nothing less than extortion. It is time for the Attorney General to take action against manta.com. But it won't happen by itself. CONSUMERS MUST COMPLAIN AND BE HEARD. Tell Manta.com to GO TO HELL!

Manta Unauthorized

I was browsing Google etc one night and thought it would be fun to see what would happen when I typed in my husbands co name.. Well I did and couldn't believe my eyes, here Manta popped up with the co name and income, which was way off, and had me as a principal.. haha a principal, I don't work for a school and my husband sure dont own one. I was so angry they had all this information, I never posted anything with Manta and neither did he. I went to there website and emailed them, said someone would contact me within 1 business day, well 3 weeks later nothing.. I emailed them today, and being so frustrated, I typed in Google Mantas phone number and seen the complaints from other people about Manta, so i registered and now I am typing this.. I do not know where they get there info from, but they have no right displaying someones company, without checking with the owner or mgr to see if this is what they want advertised. This Manta company is horrible, and invasion of peoples privacy, and I hope more complaints come in, so they get shut down or get fined and held responsible for this unauthorized publishing of peoples profiles and companies. If companies want to advertise with Manta then that's a different story, but for people who don't want all this in the open, then leave it alone, and stop puting people and privacy in the spotlight, this isn't right... I hope they will see this and do what is asked and take our company name off there list.

these ### dupe people into believing there's some value in joining, then when you discover it's all a game in upselling worthless services and selling your info to every spammer and list broker on earth, there's no way to delete an account. there's a special place in hell for people who deliberately make other people's lives miserable for profit.

On behalf of Manta, thanks for reaching out. I understand your concern. Our intention is to help small businesses succeeded so I'm sorry if you feel we have not done this or that your privacy has been violated. Here is some insight on how basic company information is collected on Manta: The basic company information on Manta is collected by third-party publishers through multiple sources, including public company financials and trade records; public records such as business registrations and government registries.

Sometimes new business owners register their business under their personal contact information because they don't have another place of business established yet. When we receive the information we have no way of knowing if the business owner has listed their home address or business address. This, among many other reasons, is why we allow business owners to claim their profile on our website. We want you to have control over your business brand and the information you share with the general public.

I looked up your account information and it looks like you have claimed your profile on Manta and have adjusted your settings. If you need further information on your Manta account, feel free to contact our customer service team at [protected], option 1 or help@manta.com.

Thanks,
Anna with Manta

Manta is posting personal information as though is was business related. I am the President, CEO, etc. of a small company and they are trying to ruin my business.

"I feel was privacy being out in the open"

Perhaps you should completely stay off the internet and petition your state and local government about your public records. I've got news for you, the moment you post to facebook, join a group, enter into a mortgage, get a drivers license, register you vehicle, traffic violation, own property, birth certificate, obituary, etc... composites can be created. What would your recourse have been if Manta was from a company outside the US, that's right, NOTHING!

Your privacy is a figment of your imagination, unless you move to another planet in the solar system!

>". I went to there website and emailed them, said someone would contact me within 1 business day, well 3 weeks later nothing.. I emailed them today, and being so frustrated"

I wouldn't my breathe if I were you! Why didn't you file a petition at the UN, it would have at least the same the same response.

>"I was so angry they had all this information"

What information, it was all bogus! The stuff that was probably even remotely true came from public records.

Here's a suggestion, GET OVER YOURSELF!

Manta Posting Home Address on Google

I am a home business and recently googled my name to find that Manta.com has posted my home address for the online without my permission on Google. In order to correct the info, they tell you to claim the profile, so I did, and I changed the location. It just created an alternative profile and my name and home address is still on googles websearch for everyone to see. Isn't this illegal for them to invade your privacy?!

I emailed them several times and nothing and they refuse to post a phone number on there site.

I'm a small business owner who just found myself and my business on Manta with to much personal info . Mine is easily traced to a government contract, it's all the information I gave to CCR & Dunns & Bradstreet . They have also sold my cell number to every scammer in the country and my e-mail to every p**** enlargement company out there .
