ADT doorstep callers - legit?

Probably nothing but just to make you aware that there are people calling in Cavendish Road saying they are from ADT and promoting security devices for property, because of 'the high risk of burglary in the area'.

They could be legit but it never hurts to be aware that they might not be and are sussing out your house and what sort of security you have.

My maxim is never to trust callers at the door - especially from high profile companies who people might trust.

If you want alarms etc, ring a company yourself and arrange a visit

He came to our door too on Burgoyne Rd saying the same thing.

I just don't think that such a large company would send out door-to-door salesmen ! I will give them a call tomorrow and check whether they do this sort of sales.

Sure - I did not find it that odd at that time cos we get so many people through the door (mainly charities though). But I never questioned in this way either and, come to think, there were some odd behaviours/remarks in him. The man was very keen to enter the house as soon as he introduced himself and ADT was very inconspicuous in his appearance, no document files or anything on him, etc.
