Annoying Headhunter List - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components

Greetings:

After yet another annoying recorded call from Electrical Agent today, I decided to create a list of people and companies that habitually bother people. I called Electrical Agent's toll-free number to have my name removed from their list, but the scumbag rep laughed at me and refused to remove my name. I am filing a complaint against them with FCC.

If you get a similar call, please contact them and give them an earful. Here is Electrical Agent's toll-free number if you want to call at their expense:

Call toll-free. 800-396-4822.

According to WhoIs, the domain owner's name is Michael Mayberry.

If you have had a similar experience, please click on Reply to post it here. There are a lot of people out there absolutely sick of being bothered by these cretins.

Add HVAC Agent and Plumbing Agent to that list. I'm pretty sure they are the same company. I got three calls inside an hour from the douchebags. They're a bunch of trolls like the other companies that bother busy people. I'd love to see them get burned by the FCC. They are the equivalent of having a car salesman come to your door and try to sell you a car, except they know there's a good liklihood of getting hurt if they dare do it in person. :smt021

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
