Barclay alias shadow companies
For over 3 years
Chris Barclay and Rick Barclay
of Barclay Enterprises of Colton, CA have been obsessively attacking our products
and services while blatantly lying to customers.
The Barclays are
guilty of: gross false advertising, exaggerated offers, intentional
self-voiding warranties and flat out lies. They forge
recommendations, reviews, feedback and even federal forms
(FCC
registrations that they then exaggerate and claim to be "FCC
Authorized"). Their well planned attacks on their competition
include everything from illegal activities to childish pranks.
Rick
Barclay is guilty of
defamation of
character toward the president of our company (libel).
The Barclay's
are well aware of this site and our allegations (proof1
proof2). They have repeatedly refused
to comment or reply to our attempts to contact them. Instead they
choose to contact people, potential customers and web administrators
in private with libel statements and lies in hopes to win
their support. Their silence proves their
guilt and their endless effort to fight this web site proves
they have no excuses.
Please
contact us with any questions or comments.

Barclay's Latest False Advertising on eBay
 |
Barclay Enterprises
viciously attacks our company
From day 1 on
eBay
More
Detail
|
|
Barclay flat out lies claiming Panasonic redesigned their keypad
At Barclay, we
replace your old keypad with a flawless, brand new keypad.
Manufactured to the
very best
of Panasonic's specifications, thus eliminating any possible
shortcomings of the original version.
|
|
Barclay attacks our membrane keypad repair claiming it will break your
phone.
Don't let
anyone install an allegedly "new" keypad with any sort of insert /
membrane or other "fix"
between the keypad and
circuit board!
Any foreign layer or "fix" between the keypad and the circuit board will
break your phone
|
|
Barclay copies our membrane keypad
The
Pad-MateTM
The industry's ONLY
permanent solution to your
KX-TGA handset's button problems...
... goes between the dialpad
and the circuit board (exactly
what he warned against for well over a year)
|
|
Barclay attacks our Lifetime warranty
Beware of anyone offering a "lifetime warranty" on a keypad!
You're better off dealing with a reputable company that's upfront and
will be around to honor their two year warranty
|
|
Barclay copies our lifetime warranty claiming to have the only one
So superior,
it's the ONLY keypad repair that comes
with a LIFETIME WARRANTY
|
|
Barclay deceives
customers with "pictures" of an improved rubber keypad
They name their copy of our membrane keypad the
"Pad-Mate" and claim to have "the original" but they also give it a
second name "Perma-Pad" and display pictures of the Pad-Mate installed
on the known defective keypad in an unnatural position.... clearly
copying our pictures of the improvements in our real rubber keypad.

Barclay lies about why
these keypads break
CONSUMER ALERT: DON'T
FALL FOR THE ANYONE'S MISLEADING MYTHS ABOUT WHAT CAUSES YOUR KEYPAD TO
FAIL:
There can be only one source... spit! Eating and drinking while talking
on the phone
|
|
Barclay's extended and lifetime keypad warranty are self-voiding
Barclay claims there is "no
fine print" However abuse voids the warranty and abuse is
defined by excessive use and/or eating and drinking while talking on the
phone. (I call that fine print)

Barclay Enterprises unwittingly admits that 'environmental gunk' is
really oil seepage.
|
|
Within hours of our first
KX-TGA400b eBay repair auction, Barclay knew they were in trouble.
We had an improved keypad to repair the poorly designed OEM keypad
causing all the problems. They needed to do something and fast!
Barclay didn't waste any time.
Canceling his auction early, he re-listed with a lie claiming
"Panasonic had re-designed the keypad thus
eliminating the original problems"
Unfortunately that was only the simple beginning of the seemingly
endless Barclay Keypad Fraud.
|
|
Membrane
keypads are cheaper.
If they were truly better we would still be using them. |
Deceptive Advertising
Barclay Enterprises shows
you this
to make it appear as if you are buying a rubber keypad with
large contacts |
 |
|
However, the "Perma-Pad" is really just
a membrane sticker. |
|
|
Below
is the Perma-Pad™
It is also the Pad-Mate™
Why have two different names for the same part? |
|
 |
|
 |
At the top of
their "Improved Keypad" auction they show a picture of what looks
like a complete rubber keypad with large black conductive contacts.
HOWEVER! The "improved keypad" is a paper thin CLEAR sticker
membrane with black painted circles. The pictures here show an
original OEM Panasonic keypad with Barclay's copy of our membrane
repair stuck to it.
This is an intentional trick to make people believe they are
getting a real 3-dimentional improved rubber keypad.
Blatant Lie: "The
industry's only truly improved keypad.." |
| Barclay includes a simple
description of the real "improved" part of the keypad in a small
area in the center of the auction... they KNOW most people will not
read every detail and will focus on the top and bottom of the ad.
Pad-Mate™
Perma-Pad™ |
|
|
At the bottom of
the auction is another larger picture showing the Perma-Pad.
However, you cannot tell from this picture that the larger contacts
are from painted circles on a clear, paper thin sticker. The small
contacts (on the left) push down only on the center of the
conductive sticker (right) and do not significantly increase the
size as the description claims.
Blatant lie:
No other keypad on
the market --- including other "improved" keypads --- has bigger
button contacts! |
Proven!
|
Barclay Enterprises takes extra steps to hide
misleading statements. When you list an auction on eBay, the text
becomes a permanent record for about 12 months. Barclay now
changes misleading statements (such as "FCC Authorized") to
graphics while leaving other areas untouched. The only reason we
can think of to do this is because they can then change the
graphics (stored on their own server) any time they run into
problems. |
Proven!
Barclay continues to confuse customers with
false information about why the original keypads break. Their
"permanent" keypad still relies on the original defective keypad
to work and they need these lies to continue.
They falsely claim the sticky oil
from the OEM keypad is spit.
Barclay's termed "environmental gunk" that builds up in the keypad
is not spittle or food particles!
|
Keypads seep oil. This is a undeniable
FACT.
Engineering forum on the topic |
|
The
sticky oil cannot be from food or spit! It is found in 100% of
these phones and is exactly the same in every single one. In
fact, as the keypads yellow from age, so does the oil. |
|
Just
to eliminate any possible doubt, we crushed a few brand new
Panasonic keypads between paper and steel plates using a
machine press. Wouldn't you know it... spittle came out!
soaking the paper!! Amazing... those Japanese must be spitting
on the mold to allow easy removal of the final product. There
is no other possible explanation (say's Barclay) |
|
The
rubber keypad forms a rubber gasket seal. Food and spittle
cannot get in. You can dunk these phones in Pepsi Cola and it
will not get inside the keypad. |
|
Barclay reverently denied the other very obvious problem with
the original keypad for over a year. Now they admit they
knew the conductive contacts were too small in their own
advertisements. |
|
Corrosion is from condensation not spit and is
found inside some phones but not under the rubber
keypad. |
So, how did Barclay "bust the myth"? Obviously
not with tests or research... just plain Barclay bull.
