Alarm Company in the Neighborhood

From a neighbor:

All,

Tonight, I just received a fairly hard sell from a door-to-door salesman
from APX Alarms. He mentioned that he had just upgraded Kay McKinney to
a new alarm system, the gentleman that his house burned down several months
ago and someone else who I don't recall now. I told him I'd have to
think about it until tomorrow, which he didn't like, and at first he
said all of the free equipment and installation packages would be gone
by then. Then, he asked if he could come back tomorrow even though he
only had two left to give away (sounded suspicious to me).

After he left I came in and looked on the Internet for www.APX.com which
he said was their Internet address, it's not. I Goggled APX and found
the link below that you may be interested in. I think I'll take my
business elsewhere.

As an additional note I didn't appreciate the some of the salesman's
questions. I thought several of them were out of line. Such as:

I'm sure you keep a pistol or some kind of a gun in your house, don't
you?
When you leave your house do you leave your dogs in the house or put
them outside?
Can I come inside an evaluate your house? Multiple times he asked.
You always keep your windows locked, don't you?

I just thought it was worth noting based on the link, one of several on
the Internet regarding APX.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN ME SINCE I POSTED THIS AND THOUGHT THEY WERE LEGIT BUT THOUGHT THEY WERE OUT OF LINE BY THE HARD SALES TACTICS AND QUESTIONS. BE FIRM AND TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE OUT OF LINE AND ASK THEM TO LEAVE IF THEY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.
