Got a call from this number just now. Same propaganda about a burglar alarm system. I pressed 1 to speak to a live agent. He hung up on me when I asked him to identify the company he works for.
I suspect this isn't a real alarm company, but is instead a phishing scam. They'll probably try to get personal identifying info and then use it for identity theft.
Loopholes in the Do Not Call List. When the federal "do not call" list law passed in 2003 there were many “loopholes” allowing telemarketers who had a "PREVIOUS BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP" to contact you. Also every time you sign up for contests and sweepstakes (read the fine print) you waive your right to be on the DNC list for THEM and their AFFILIATES. Another “foot in the door” for small telemarketing companies is to pretend to be a survey company but really just want to sell you something. And while they are working on getting the loopholes out of the DNC list they should create a similar DNC list for "Political" and "Non-profit" organization solicitations. However, since Government and Political are synonymous, we may remain disgruntled for some time to come. :-/
P.S. My next phone will be one of the new phones that create its own DNC list with the push of a button, allowing you to block unwanted numbers yourself.
