Alarming Scam

Some Mobile neighbors are worried they're being scammed by men posing as alarm system representatives. Residents say two suspicious men have been knocking on doors claiming to be with ADT or Brinks, then they try to gain access to the home. We called ADT. Company spokesperson, Bob Tucker, says it sounds like a common scam, and that's not how they do business, "most of our customer appointments are pre-scheduled, and not cold calling. So, we're not just showing up on people's doorsteps like it sounds like these people are," said Tucker. One couple we spoke with says something just didn't feel right, they weren't about to let them in their home, "what gave me the feeling was the other guy was running down the street and said 'come on it's time to go,' while the guy was talking to my husband and then I said 'Larry, Larry,' I was telling my husband, Larry, just to, that something was wrong and we weren't interested," said Kay Wilson of Mobile. ADT also tells News 5 their representatives have ID, wear ADT uniforms, and drive ADT vehicles.
