Home Security

Today the doorbell rang & this cute young lady was standing there with an "Elite" shirt on & a clipboard. I thought, "Hereeee we go"! I knew she was selling something.

First my dog went crazy & wouldn't stop barking even as we were both outside.
She suggested we go inside & I said, Um no I will just let her come outside.

So she went on about how she worked for a company called Elite & 
that they were an authorized ADT dealer.
She said she could hook us up with $1500 in equipment for free in exchange for free advertising- meaning we'd have to keep a yard sign up & the monthly monitoring fee would be $45 a month.


As she was talking she started talking & asked me for some water.
Hmmm...against my better judgement, I allowed her to come in.
However- I knew hubby would be home in a few minutes.

We sat at my dining room table & we continued to chat.
Then I basically told her what she was saying sounded great, however I needed to verify her & the company she worked for. She showed me her business license & badge. Told me they went to our local police department and they scanned copies of their drivers license, etc.
I memorized the business license & I had planned to call & verify.
But a quick google search gave me enough info to know they're legit but they have all kinds of hidden fees.  They are based out of Utah so I think it's strange they send people door to door & ship their salesman across the US to sell. 

Have you had these people come to your door?
I think it's time for a no soliciting yard sign!
