If everyone who took the time to write a complaint here on this website also wrote an e0mail to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) these people (scammers) would be out of business by now.
This is VMS security systems that is doing cold calling but they say that we did some kind of survey for them and now have "won" a $1200.00 security system with free installation with a monitoring charge that is about a dollar a day. Their web site is: http://vmsalarms.com/
They have a "technician" call you back who is actually just another sales person who gives you a line a crap about how their system works and how it is better and cheaper than any other provider. The "technician" knows little about the electronics of the system and tries to BS you if you ask a technical question. The scam part is that the system you "won" is a minimum system and if you have more than a simple apartment, you will have to buy the extra door and window and motion alarms. My "free" system would have cost me $635.00, plus $36 a month for the monitoring.
they asked about for my daughter and thought she owned the house, could't answer any questions about where they got the number from. Don't answer the phone.
They called me on my cell phone - not sure where they got it from - but after giving me the I won speal (of course I was suspicious since I'd recently also won $240,000 - and alls I had to do to get it was pay taxes on it FIRST) - I told them sure, you can have a tech call me - but, then she asked my name. I would think that would be a small piece of information to have pre-acquired about the 'winner' of a $1200 anything! I haven't answered their calls, but am glad you guys commented so now when I do answer I can at least be armed with info. Thanks folks!
