The Barclay Enterprise Attack Timeline

Note: Barclay Enterprises is now deceptively making copies of all our pages while leaving the link to make it appear you are viewing actual pages on our site. Visit: www.p1bc.com/barclay.htm for the truth.

Some dates may not be exactly correct. We provide as close a date as we can based on the resources and recollection we have now.

Date unknown Some time before 2006, Barclay Enterprises illegally claims to be an FCC Authorized telephone repair facility.

2/10/2006 (a Friday) We list our first repair service auction on eBay. Barclay cancels his repair auction early and re-lists it with the flat out lie that Panasonic had redesigned the keypad to eliminate the common problems.

2/12/2006 (Sunday) "Someone" reported our listing for offering a battery for sale with the repair and eBay removed our listing within 2 days! An unusually quick response time from eBay (for a minor issue) even if our listing was reported within minutes of it's first appearance.

2/12/2006 We re-list our auction

2/13/2006 Our auction is again removed for being in the wrong category. Ebay's software suggested the category we were in. Then again later that same day for having a link to our web site. Only a power seller with a direct phone number to eBay could have complained about minor details in our auction listings to have them removed this quickly. Barclay had power seller status at that time.

2/20/2006 Barclay lists a new repair auction warning people away from using companies that are not FCC Authorized to repair phones (A complete lie). There was never any such thing as FCC Authorized repair.

3/9/2006 We start receiving harassing automated phone calls to our toll-free phone line (a crime) from rotating phone numbers all in California. (home of Barclay Enterprises)  Barclay's eBay advertisements had been quoting direct text from our web site. The same web site that provided our toll free number but asked people not to call unless absolutely necessary as telephone calls disrupted us from our work.

4/2006 We report Barclay Enterprises false claims of being FCC Authorized in a "bad guy" forum posting on Sundance Communications web site. Barclay responds with smoke and mirrors and never provides any argument or evidence to back up their claims. Barclay posts forged scans of long expired FCC registrations on their web site as so called "proof" in an attempt to fool customers.

4/2006 Barclay creates his "Franken Phone" graphics attacking our membrane keypad with false claims that it is completely unnecessary and can only break your phone. Barclay continues to promote the lie that Panasonic redesigned their keypad to eliminate the original problems.

5/2006 After we alert Barclay that we plan to report their illegal advertising to the FTC Barclay Enterprises changes their wording from "FCC Authorized" to "FCC Registered" then later to "Has been FCC Registered" proving that they knew claims of being "FCC Authorized" or even just "FCC Registered" were false.

6/2006 After not hearing from the FTC Barclay changes his advertisements back to "FCC Authorized".

11/22/2006 We report Barclay Enterprises for false advertising to the Better Business Bureau.

12/25/2006 Barclay changes their claim of being "FCC Authorized" to "Grantee of the FCC's Equipment Authorization System since 1989" and removes the forged scans of FCC registrations. Still holding onto their FCC lie however they can!
