Pinnacle Security Door to Door sales guy

Posted in: River Trails

Today the guy that is soliciting 'GE/Pinnacle' security systems is Matt King.  A young, clean cut, articulate white male.  He was very interested in giving me  a 'FREE' system with 'FREE' monitoring because I have such an 'attractive corner lot' where they want to post their advertising.  He wanted to come in my home and check out my existing system, check out my doors, etc.  I told him no so then he asks if we can go around the back of the house.  I again tell him no.  He does his little schpeel and wants to 'make a call' to run a credit check on me and to make sure my house is not in default to make sure I 'qualify' for this 'free' deal.  I let him know I needed to speak to my husband first.  I asked for his card and he gives me this little slip of paper that has a free equipment pre-qualification info on it and jotted down his name and phone number on it.

 

I called his number and it immediatly goes to a Mission Impossible ringtone, then to his voicemail.  The phone number is obviously a personal cell phone.

 

I did some more investigating about GE/Pinnacle and found this info....

Not surprisingly, his EXACT schpeel was word-for-word as described in this ripoff report.

 

After reading this, I called him back and told him that I spoke to my husband and we are not interested and to not bother coming back to our house.

 

Just thought I'd share the info.  He's going around to alot of houses today.

 

More info that was almost verbatim to his schpeel...

I've had their alarm system for 7 months now and when the guy knocked on our door he said what it sounds like your guy did, but when you let them in they tell you price and about your contract. I come from a business back ground so it makes sense that they do it this way. Would you buy on the doorstep if they said a price right away or after you have sat down and talked? I'm sure if you called him back and asked him if there were any cell tower fees that you'd have to pay monthly that would be it. Technically they aren't ripping us off. They just have a job and need to support themselves like us most of those guys are young. I'm impressed kids these days have that kind of work ethic honestly. Anyways I vouch for the system. I'm paying only around 47 but with my home owners insurance its like 35 like any other system but its nicer equipment and I love that I can use my phone to check the house now.  It really is safer! I say try it out.
