ADT sucks
Danged buy a new house and they ADT is determined to get me to sign up for their service. Our new land line number has been given to exactly 1 person and somehow they got ahold of it and have called us no less than 30 times! Telling them to not call us, and registering on the no call list has not deterred them so far.
Tonight in the middle of dinner one of their salesmen came to my door! Wow they don't give up, I wouldn't sign up for their service for all of the tea in China! The next time one of them nocks on my door I'll think I'll answer it with a gun in my hand instead of my side under a shirt...
You may not resume your regularly scheduled program but I needed to vent.

Don't know about ADT but some of those sales people can really be a pain, and they never stop on the phone.

If it's not someone whose name we recognize, we don't answer the phone. If someone really wants to talk to us they can leave a message and we will call back.

That's how I handle it plus I block numbers if need be. If I answer the door the first thing asked for is their business license. Also taking their picture & license plate number seems to help.

It does good to report these abuses to the state AG.

People are all pretty much the same when it comes to being bothered.

We don't answer the phone unless we know who it is. We get very few messages.

The sales practices of such orgs was 'boiler room' years ago

tried them once upon some decades ago, and after a couple of lucky hits -- was taken out on 'my leads' -- by the Office Manager. When I did not close the sale, he started to 'train me' -- and I said: "They wanted information, I gave it. They said they can't afford it, so why waste my time?" He said, "You've got to MAKE them want to afford it. Make them more afraid, pressure them, anything..until they buy." A couple of those -- and it was a heartfelt Mutual parting.
Wife signed us up for AARP a few years back.

Then she made the mistake a few months ago of donating $20.00 to one of there causes. Now we get 2 or 3 pieces of AARP junk mail a day. Last week we got a record 5 in a single day, selling all sorts of AARP products, plans, benefits and requesting donations. Phone calls are a breeze, answering machine picks up 9 out of 10 leave no message and will stop trying after multiple failures.
