Didn't think much about the previous posts and erased them, until I received the below post. Many local companies are running door to door to salesman at this time of year. Ask to see all their credentials and paperwork; if they're legit, they'll show it. Most are selling pre-packaged systems and haven't the faintest idea how to spec a system. My boss was telling me today that he had someone show up on his door step from "Phoenix Security" offering to do a free consult on his ADT security because they're "often installed wrong" and they would help consult on how to improve the security system. Thus, they were offering to do this consult, provided of course that you let them into the house to examine all the security umbilicals of the alarm. He told them, "no." "OK, but we're here to help..." "If my system was bad, why wouldn't I call ADT directly..." round and round and eventually they left. He called ADT and asked "Who TF are these guys from 'Phoenix Security' and why are they wandering around here?" ADT told him, "We work with a Phoenix Security but they're in Arizona, I don't know why you'd be hearing from them in Virginia..."
So he is highly suspicious that these are guys with a much more advanced method of casing a house. In addition, there's always, the "We're here to give you a free consult on your alarm system on your house..." response, "I don't have one..." <fake guy making note> "mind if I come in and help you figure out what you might need for security in these times?..." Now he's keeping an ear out to see if he 1) sees them again, or 2) hears of any robberies in his neighborhood... Ciao, Craig **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
