Most of the companies we do business with are honest, but there are fraudulent companies around that cannot be trusted. Scammers can be found in any industry, including the home security company industry. And although dealing with scammers always brings the possibility of danger, that danger is escalated when getting involved with home security scammers, because you make yourself vulnerable to those who now have access to your home.

The good news is that the Federal Trade Commission offers some helpful advice in protecting yourself against home security scammers. This article lists several safeguards you can take if you suspect someone is attempting to deceive you with a home security company scam.

Among their safety tips includes what to do when anyone tries to sell you a home security system. Your first step should be to insist that they show you proof that they are who they say they are and that they are associated with a legitimate and reputable company. Call their company to confirm they are actually employed by them.

Also take note of their sales techniques. Some things to watch out for are high pressure selling techniques and whether they are trying to scare you into purchasing their product. If they start telling you about recent crime in your neighborhood, you have reason to suspect they are scammers. Do not purchase your system from them.

Those people associated with home security company scams may also try to convince you that your current security company has closed its doors and is going out of business. Or they may offer an upgrade on your existing system.

Finally, be wary if they offer you ‘free’ components to get your business. This may mean that you will be committed to a long-term, high cost contract for monitoring, and it may not be worth the ‘free’ components.

Read our highlights below, or click the video to watch the whole thing:

Phil, an engineer at Honeywell, went skiing with his wife but their usual dog sitter was not available. They had to hire someone they did not know very well, which understandably made them nervous! They used the Total Connect service to keep an eye on things while they were away. Specifically, they used the door sensors to keep track of when the dog sitter was active at the house.

Dominic from Operations at Honeywell used the Total Connect system to turn on the heat at his home while he was away.

Dan (also an engineer) and his wife recently had a new son. By using low light cameras, he can check in on his son during the night. Dan loves the peace of mind this brings.

Jim from Marketing uses his Total Connect system to find out what his dog Bella is doing at home when he is not there. Incidentally, Bella was keep herself busy tearing up the carpet and couch (!) This called for a companion for Bella: Mya. A furry friend to keep Bella company.
