FBI installing home security systems? SCAM!


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.

Let's be logical here, the FBI is not in the security business. They are not even interested in residential crime. They deal with federal issues and are in the business of investigating.
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.
Here's the news story about a lady in Virginia Beach who helped bring it to light.  Usually, when it sounds too good to be true, it is.
