Robo-call about home security system from "Safe Home Tech.com" (just another name used by Monitronics to skate by the FTC Do Not Call List!)
They are using this to generate leads for their local installers.
The bad news is that the consumer is getting RIPPED-OFF with this offer!!
Why?
They offer a "free" system. You sign a 36 month NON-CANCELLABLE contract for either $48/mo or $59/mo which equates to spending $1,728 or $2,124 for that time frame. On a basic wireless system...
Simpli Safe would only cost you $540 for the same time frame - and they let you cancel ANYTIME!
This scammer has been operating with these illegal robo-calls now for several years. They just war-dial for a while, change numbers and company names and move along.
One thing I did pick up on in my conversation with this phone troll - they have you sign an "electronic" contract that you cannot see before hand. You do get a copy AFTER the fact - which for some could prove to be too late to find things out. Especially since you would most likely receive it AFTER the 3 day right of rescission has passed - meaning you could no longer LEGALLY cancel the deal without having to BUY your way out of the contract.
They also would NOT mail or email a copy of the contract beforehand. You can only view it if you set up an installation appointment.

just got the same call from "WALMART"....answered, they asked for me and when I asked who was calling they wouldn't respond. I usually would not even answer a call like this, but since it said Walmart, I thought it might have involved a credit card usage issue or something legit...guess not...
