Barclay Enterprises, Inc. Chris and Rick Barclay of Barclay Enterprises, Inc. have been relentlessly and obsessively attacking our company for 3 years. From harassing automated phone calls to deceiving products and advertisements aimed directly at us.... and everything in between, no matter how deceptive or unprofessional. Chris and Rick Barclay completely refuse to respond to our attempts to contact them about these attacks. They are given ample opportunity to reply to emails, forum postings and comments. While they eagerly point out every attempt (in as negative light as possible) they have not once replied. As far as we know they have never attempted to contact us in any way. Again, Chris and Rick. We'd love to hear your
side of the story personally. Let us know if any of our accusations are
unfounded and we'll discuss removing them. This page was created in response to Barclay Enterprises attempts to bury our search engine rankings by making fictitious companies, buying up URLs and creating link farms. Barclay Enterprises has several
other "companies"
We are not sure how long Barclay has been falsely claiming FCC status. In 2/2006 They attacked our repair services in eBay advertisements "Don't be fooled by cheap copycat repair facilities that are not FCC authorized..." Coincidentally in the same week, our eBay repair auctions were removed from eBay for minor details, one even called "an unpublished rule" by eBay employees. We also immediately started getting harassing phone calls to our toll-free number several times a day from 3 different computer generated sources, all originating from the west side of the US. We looked into Barclay's claims of being FCC authorized and found them to be completely false. As we started to point out this fact, Barclay expanded their claims including the use of FCC logos and graphics. Barclay also provided pictures of alleged FCC Registration scans to back up their claims. These scans of registrations had nothing to do with "Authorizations" or "Certifications" and they were fake! Barclay Enterprises, Inc had never even been issued an FCC registration. We started a "bad-guy" post on a popular telecom forum where we declared Barclay was illegally claiming FCC status. Barclay complained at length about the forum message but their only official reply in the forum itself was to hint at legal action. They were never able to provide even an excuse for their behavior. However, through that forum posting we did learn one important fact. Even if Barclay had an FCC registration, it was nothing more than a serial number to put on specific (now antique) telephones! These serial numbers became invalid in the late 80's or early 90's. It cost only about $50 to get one. There were no tests, inspections or restrictions involved. Anyone with $50 could get one! We told Barclay if they did not remove all claims of FCC status from their web site and advertisements we would report them to the FTC and FCC. Barclays response was to change the wording only. They went from "FCC authorized" to "FCC registered" and even "had been FCC registered". Unfortunately the FCC and FTC were not motivated to look into this false advertising scheme. After a few weeks, when Barclay had not heard anything from them, they changed the wording back to "FCC Authorized" So, why the change? It proves even Barclay does not believe what they claim. Almost a year later, they have been forced to remove their claims of being FCC authorized by the Better Business Bureau but still cannot let it go! They will apparently do anything to fool a few customers into believing an old serial number (for antique bell ringer phones) attached to their old company name and at their old address, is somehow relevant to their current repair service. Are they that desperate to provide their customers with a good reason to use their services? Looks that way.....
