You forgot:

"Ringing my phone two times in succession and only leaving a vmail on the second call". Makes me want to tell them, "look: I have my phone rules set up the way they are for a specific reason (I get a lot of calls from random – usually low-quality – recruiters). You calling twice in succession in an effort to defeat some call-systems' screening features is what's commonly referred to as a 'dick-move'. As such, it tells me you have zero respect for me and, by extension, me dealing with you would be a mistake."

It's right up there with the body-shops that attempt to contact you via email and their very first email to you has a subject that starts "Re:". It's just a big, fat, red flag.
