I received a somewhat disturbing call.
It was a directed robocall indicating I was a NextAlarm subscriber. I am not, but I was until spring 2014. Since DIY alarm users are rare, and they had my home phone, I assume they somehow got ahold of a customer list.
The message went on to say specifically that "Do you know.." that Next Alarm is not licensed, CO licenses expired in three states (named, I forget which, but included Florida), that they were not answering their phones, ..... lots of stuff.
No idea if true.
Then they urged you to contact AlarmMonitoringServices.com
I guess how I feel about this varies a bit by whether what they said is absolutely true or not. Though I'm also not on NextAlarm. But I am annoyed that they somehow got a customer list with my home phone (I am also on the do not call list, so they are in violation of that law for sure). So on balance I found the call a bit nasty and inappropriate.
Anyone else, past or present, Next Alarm users get the call?
Are the things they say true?
