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.

I got a call from someone who asked for "Mrs. Myname." She said,'This is VMS calling you back." I had never called them and the only VMS I'd ever heard of was a computer operating system. They claimed I had filled out a survey for "GE Home Security" or something like that. She claimed the survey was about how many smoke detectors I had in my home. I obviously would have remembered something like that, as I rarely complete surveys, and I would not have given out my home phone number under any circumstance. We are on the FTC do not call list, and they are trying to get around the law by inventing a non-existent survey and a non-existent prior relationship.
I would give these people access to my home??? Dream on.
