Today, we’re exposing the tricks behind home security scams—where unsuspecting homeowners are targeted by aggressive door-to-door salespeople or harassing phone calls. These scammers pressure you into buying fake security systems, but don’t be fooled. Watch out for these red flags: if the salesperson demands immediate payment and a signature, shut the door or hang up.

They may sound convincing, offering discounts or special deals, but reputable companies always assess your home’s specific security needs before making recommendations. If you catch them studying your security sign, that’s another major red flag. Stay alert—don’t let anyone unnerve or mislead you. Instead, report them to your security company or contact the Better Business Bureau to check their reputation. Protect yourself and your home from these fraudulent schemes.
