Chamber of Commerce review: Beware: ChamberOfCommerce.com engages in deceptive and unauthorized business listings

ChamberOfCommerce.com scrapes business information without consent and posts unauthorized listings that often include misleading or fake reviews. They refuse to remove these listings even when requested, claiming they only take content down if the original source removes it first — which is impractical and unjust.

Additionally, they aggressively push a paid service called “Review Defender” to businesses to help “manage” the negative reviews that they themselves have allowed to appear. This is a deceptive, exploitative practice targeting small businesses.

This is not a genuine third-party business directory committed to accuracy or fairness. Instead, it profits from unauthorized use of business identities and misleads consumers.
