A new scam is out there offering a free security system. The telemarketers are trying to trick you to install the new security system free of charge.
A telemarketer is offering a free install of a system, signs, and stickers. The system is automated and calling homes targeting the elderly it seems like.
First of all, the FBI is not in the security business. They are not even interested in residential crime. They deal with federal issues.
Secondly, the security installation business is cut throat. The government would not get involved in home security, at least for now…
So if you have gotten a message offering this installation, just ignore it. It is just another person lying to try to get into your wallet.
See this video from WTKR about the scam using the FBI to sell security systems…
Seriously? Wow! I find it sad that people target the elderly and even sadder that we can't have a civilization built on trust either. It sounds un-believable to me that the FBI would be doings this and I just can't imagine people falling for this, but I guess they do.
The FBI would never indulge in such cheap tricks.Guess it works because people may be mortally afraid of FBI for no reason whatsoever.
It is better to get knowledgeable idea about any company before using security services from m them. Best security companies have guided platform they do not sell any system free of charge. Search on Internet and then through police-station before installing nay kind of technological gadget to home office and any other area.
