I had a security company come out to my house yesterday. Rang the doorbell, shook my hand, was polite, had a company polo on, business cards, etc. We sat down at my kitchen table, went over options and all that...everything seemed to be going good.
After we were about done he said, "oh, by the way...no big deal but I wanted to let you know that when you do pay, it will really be for _________ (another security company)." He then went on to say that the company he jointly owned currently wasn't going so well because he tried to buy out his partner but his partner wanted "way too much for it". He said he got this new company licensed and was just starting up.
So this guy is taking calls for the company that he jointly owns and leveraging it for his own start-up....I am right for feeling uneasy, yes? I would NOT have booked an appointment with a company I have never heard about.
The other thing that I thought was weird was that he was talking to me about video surveillance and pulled up ALL of his customers security cameras via his cell phone to demonstrate. I have never had video surveillance in a home so I don't know if that is normal or not but I rather not have someone be able to look at cameras of my house whenever he wants.
Anyone have some input?
