Alarm System Scam

Today's topic is not a lot of fun, but I need to let you know about an attempted scam that came our way earlier this week. Someone from Northstar Alarm came by, and they did almost verbatim what you can read here. The guy was only going to be in our neighborhood that day, and he wanted me to sign up on the spot. I was shocked by the boldness of this ploy.

The best advice I can give you is to trust your instincts. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. If something doesn't seem right, there's probably something wrong. I know I just recently wrote about getting something for nothing, but in my experience this is the rare exception.

Until next time...
