First call Id says St Petersburg FL and that I have won a cruise press 1... Press 2 to be placed on Do Not Call. Pressed 2. Aug 29, 2013 8:52 pm I don't sign up for cruises...
V83015332700130 ID from the same phone number calls at 3:33 pm Aug 30, 2013 to offer me free wireless security if I will put a sign in my yard. I advised the man - I have no interest and this is a Do Not Call Number so he quickly hung up.
Dan Called my cell phone from this number, this morning around 8:30am. He asked if I would like to advertise their security business in my yard also. I asked how he got my phone number. He told me that he received my number from his "on-line partners". I asked who his on-line partners were, & he then began to end the conversation. I asked for him to answer my question several more times, which he refused to acknowledge & told me he would not be calling me anymore.
I may have been interested if this were an honest company. Seems very sneaky for a security company.
I then called back & get a recorded answering service that explains that their hours of operations are 11am - 9pm.
Typical "home security system" scam. They offer a "free" alarm system for your home. The scam revolves around several points:
• Although the installation of the system is free, the monitoring is a monthly fee – typically much more than legitimate alarm companies charge
• The contract for maintaining the monitoring service is typically longer than legitimate companies require
• Early termination of the contract incurs a hefty penalty fee
• Although installation of the alarm system is free, the equipment is still owned by the alarm company – who charge a lot to *remove* it if/when you decide you don't want it any more
Different scams may use one, several or all of the above policies to rip you off.
