nah they are endemic in these parts, some say its a progression of the dealer fit scheme, could name a couple of guys on here who do it.

Difference is the bad guys start the cold call

"did you know the police are not allowed to respond to an alarm BY LAW" or some other bullcrap claim.

I thought it was quite tame really. OK, the salesman made some wild claims and was definitely wrong to use scare tactics .... but I've heard of a lot worse.

Totally incorrect.

Just done a search and they have apparently been scolded by local Trading Standards and said sorry.

Not enough in my view.

this travesty apart, many JP's believe that a monitored alarm rings Police will arrive in second with truncheons/taizers drawn, instead more likely a plastic plod on a bike might show up - if his sat nav and pace maker is charged .
