Consumer Warning

It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by door to door salespeople. They would like to sign you up to "limited time offer" that expires "right away". And before you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars. (This happens several thousand times each year).

For more information do a Google Search and type "Door to Door Alarm Scams". Thousands of people have been duped.

The Pressure:

• Sales person won't leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
• Sales person won't leave when you tell them "No Thanks"
• Sales person won't leave when you say "I Already Have Your Products or Service"
• Sales person name drops the name of your neighbor and makes it sound like "they signed up" or "they bought one" or "they referred me to you"
• Sales person comes to the house more than once

The Solutions:

1. Put Up Your Hand and Say "NO". Immediately close the door and the sales person will eventually leave.
2. Tell them "You are Trespassing" and that you will call the BBB Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave.
   
   BBB   1-888-352-7601
   Consumer Protection   1-877-880-5550 
   Saskatoon Police   (306) 975-8300 
   RCMP (Saskatoon)   (306) 975-5173
   or call your Local Detachment
   
   
3. Always Get 3 Quotes for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the best option.
4. Never Accept Quick Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and more time to gather facts.
5. If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full refund). It's the Law in Saskatchewan.
6. Don't Forget - You may already be in a contract for the products or services being offered to you.

Holiday Security Tips

Social Media is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but don't forget it's very public. Thieves also like reading about your vacation plans and can often track down your address.

AVOID POSTING: "packing for the trip", "just got to lake", or "just landed", etc. or photos of your new big screen TV and PS4

Break'in's rarely occur when you are at home - so in addition to arming your Reed Security alarm system you will want to make it look like you are still there.

• Cancel the newspaper
• Have someone shovel your driveway
• Have someone pick up your mail
• Park an unused vehicle in the driveway
• Install exterior motion lights (and make sure you test them)
• Install timers for interior lights
• Consider  ALARM.COM  Interactive Services. Control your lights, locks, blinds, temperature, and video cameras remotely
