Tips: Watch out for Fraudulent Security Company Employees -- Security Today

Protection 1 offers tips to protect yourself from fraudulent security company employees.

You do not have to let them into your home.
Ask for -- and closely inspect -- their credentials and identification.
Ask for proof of a city-provided neighborhood solicitation permit.
Ask if the company is local, regional, or national and where they are based.
Do not be misled by false police reports.
If you are presented with a contract, verify the company name and address by calling Protection 1 or the company mentioned immediately.
Do not be pressured into signing a contract -- remember your FTC “right to cancel” a contract within 72 hours if it is signed at your home.
