Hello, my name is Chelsey Ellison. I am the customer Advocate at AMP Security. I would like to apoligize if our represenative came across in a misleading manner, our company does not condone this type of representation. There may have been some miscommunication in this instance. AMP does use the yard signs for marketing purposes, this is true. However, AMP does not put a sign in a customers yard, unless they are using their system in their home. We would not encourage our customers to lie to their neighbors in any way. We are not a fraudulent company. We work with some of the most established monitoring companies in the industry including Monitronics and Guardian Security. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding AMP Security I would be more than happy to answer them for you. You can reach me directly at Chelsey.Ellison@AMPsecurity.com. Again, I apologize for any negative experience you have had with AMP or our representatives.

thank you, Chelsey Ellison AMP Security

I used to work for AMP Alarm (and other Utah based Alarm companies in a non-sales, non-customer service position for a while) and all of these companies may be legitimate, but their sales teams are downright scumbags. Never let them into your home under any circumstances.

I just signed up with them. The guy selling here started the same way, except he phrased it just a tad different. Basically he said the word of mouth advertising was the best and that was why they were offering free installation, free equipment, etc. If I'd put a sign out I'd get those things free. I think they sales guy you had was an idiot. He wasn't saying it right. So far they seem pretty legitimate to me, I hope it remains that way. And actually I got an ok deal I think for the area I'm in.

I think the guy you had just wasn't a very good sales person and clearly hadn't memorized his speel good enough.

Wayne, the onus is on Amp to convince me that they're good people offering good services. If they give me the impression that something's not right, then they're the ones with the problem. The guy at my door never once offered me a free security system. He specifically said that they wanted to put a sign in my yard and would "help me out" in some undefined way.

You see, I did hear the guy out. And what I heard was nothing I wanted to be a part of.

It’s sounds to me like you’re an idiot. If you would just pull your head out and listen to the guy for a minute it might actually make sense. These guys come around every summer offering the free system when you sign up for their service, just like with cell phone companies. That’s just the way they sell it is by telling you that you get the free system when you put their sign out in the yard. No one is asking anyone to lie about anything to their neighbors. Don’t be such a jerk next time and actually hear the guy out.

I don’t think they are. I poked around a bit online and didn’t see any red flags. I just think they’re a sales-driven company that’s behaving poorly.

Of course, because I said ‘no thanks’, he responded with “So, security’s not a priority for you?”

Ugh. I'm surprised he didn't glance in at your 16-month-old daughter and tell you, "So, you must not care at all about your offspring."

A large sum of money says that the company is fraudulent. It just has to be.
