How This Security Company May Have Tricked Customers To Switching Alarm Systems 

"Is it a scam? Heck no." *"It is absolutely a scam."*

This is literally fraud. As in it’s illegal and they can go to jail.

ADT (obviously) won the case against Alder, was awarded $4 million 👍🏻

Jokes on him, I got my ADT signs on eBay.

Guy: Hey I work for ADT *wearing an Alder shirt People at the door: OH OK

Alder: *Swaps ADT for alder signs and replaces their contract* ADT: IMMA BOUT TO END THIS COMPANY’S ENTIRE CAREER.

It makes me really angry when they target elderly people

inside Edition is so addicting to watch. always great stories

That " Heck no " was assuring.

If he works for “ADT” or “GE” then why tf does his shirt say “ALDER” like come on people.

I don't need an alarm system. I got 3 chihuahuas

I’m pretty sure that’s theft. How ironic that a security company is stealing your sign?

i wouldnt trust a manager with a hoodie shady af

always enjoy myself a good bit of beef between alarm system companies

“Have you heard of GE, you’ve seen the little symbol?” 👌

I dont have ADT and I dont open my door , so I'm good

Here's a tip Don't *answer* the *door*

Dude lookin like keem

The home security business is ruthless. When I bought my first house in a new neighborhood, I had several security system salesmen come to my house trying to sell me a system. I ended up calling ADT directly to schedule an appointment. Less than an hour before my scheduled appointment, a security guy rings the bell. I figured it was the guy coming for the appointment so I let him in and we talked. He ended up selling me Central Security instead of ADT. My house was pre-wired so really the only thing they put in is the box, a sign in front, and info about the monitoring service. About 10 minutes after the guy left, the actual ADT guy calls and says he is on the way. I thought I had just been scammed so I called the first guy back and asked who he was. Ended up, the guy was legit and I actually got a security service. He even sent me a $100 rebate check after the first couple of months. I would be much more careful next time. Multiple salesmen looked for houses without signs and kept harassing them until they would cave. A neighbor of mine without a system said he caught on video one salesman jump his fence in the middle of the night and start banging the back door acting like a robber to try to scare them into buying a system. I’m very thankful for companies like Ring and Arlo these days that let you setup your own systems and not deal with these ruthless salesmen.

"is it a scam... HELL NO" "ITS ABSOLUTELY A SCAM!"

who else thought the manager looked like keemstar

why is keemstar selling security systems

Besides security alarm companies, look out for ANY door to door salesman. Anybody taking things from your property is called theft. If they're legitimate, they will welcome you to call the local or national office to confirm their identity and actions. Any attempts by them to shrug you off or dismiss you is a huge warning sign. If something don't seem right about the person or situation, it probably isn't and your instincts is cautioning you to beware.

In my front yard the same so call “old ADT sign” is still in my front yard and it’s been there forever

I did not know keem worked in security and scamming

You can tell he's not with ADT look at his shirt

“That’s a scam” “That’s an absolute lie” Me: Damn this dude is a savage 🔥💯😄

“They think we’re a scam, Heck no!” I call scam

One of these people came by my house months ago. I was like "NO NO AND NO go away...."

*_1:11_**_ Keemstar lookin ass_*

When you watch one of these, you just cant stop

ADT just did this with me and a smaller security company. So they're doing the same thing now it seems.

thats why i hate salesman job. forcing ppl to do when they don't wanna do

This has to be illegal

Imagine companies going so far as to just switch out their ADT sights with their company name for free promo without even asking the homeowner. That would be madness.

He said he works with GE, not for GE. That's the verbal stuff they do.

Alder comes to ADT headquarters, “ Hi I would like to upgrade you to Alder...”

Lol, that guy looks like Keemstar.

2:33 He says “Have you seen the little symbol?” but if he “works” for GE, shouldn’t his shirt have the logo? He should’ve shown the symbol on his shirt! That is clear indication that it is a scam!

I would NEVER allow someone in my house or to touch my stuff without calling the company myself. Door-to-door sales? Like really? I hope they get run out of business. How slimy 🤢🤮

I've been a door to door salesman for 10 years in two different industries not alarm systems. I always save them money. Unfortunately it's scum bags like this guy and this company that gives us all a bad name. I truly love what I do and I love helping families. On behalf of us sales people who hold our customers in high esteem I am truly sorry.

I have an old fashioned alarm system. It's called a pitbull and my 12 gauge. I'd like to see these guys try it on me.

Having worked for a company that works with ADT to sell ADT, they taught me the same type of stuff. We also used stickers saying you missed an H.S. inspection after new owners move in... H.S. stood for Home Security..

I had an alarm salesman come to my door last year. My current alarm system chased him to the end of the driveway.

Who does that...shut down the scammers copany

_scammer get scammed_

Im signed up to a security company its called D-O-G. 🐕🐕🐕

1:03 I didn’t know Keemstar sold security

1:11 the guy up front kind of looks like keemstar...

Never knew Keemstar was the manager of Alder.

Just imagine hundreds of people showing up to court sueing the company

I literally saw this guy 5 days after this video and ignored him

Killer keeeeeeenmmmmstaarrerr

Is that Keemstar?

Good investigative work! Thank you!

If someone has to reassure you that it’s not a scam... it’s a scam.

Alder is a bad company

It's pretty scummy but kinda funny at the same time

My mom fell for this in Kingman AZ I caught it in a couple hours and was able to get it stopped within the 24 hour window and had to call the police to escort the salesman from the property and get the attorney General lnvolved to get the illegal harassment stopped. So don't back down from them and don't be afraid to call the attorney General.

This is how ALL journalism should be. I'm sure if more media outlets did stuff like this to corporations, they'd have TONS of stories of shady businesses taking advantage of people.

LOL the manager looks like Keemstar! XD

keemstar?

2:26 Lmao did she say Salesbitch?

"Everything we do is completely honest" That is exactly what a scammer would say.

Woah. This is crazy. I never would have imagined such a thing was going on at such a large scale and so recklessly. Aren't their systems in place to prevent scams like this, other than lawsuits long after the fact?

Now i want an Alder salesman to come to my home so i can invite him in call the cops on him call ADT and have him arrested just for fun

2:27 I think she said sales bit*ch

This happened to me, they told me they were doing a up grade to our original system. Now we have 2 security systems we have to pay

I have a very good security company It's called "Remington 870"

my friend cussed one of them out.

Who even answers the door to solicitors these days? Not me!

I love that Lisa just goes for blood when going after shady people! Lol 😂

I worked for ADT for 2 years and sadly this is all too common

this is why I don't sign into contracts... diy surveillance for me.....

They should call ADT to confirm it 🤦🏻‍♂️

The dude teaching the thing in alder looks like keemstar

yo what if one of the homeowners worked for ADT and they knew about the fraud and then caught the Alders people tryna trick them....

They're not trying to get you safe with security stuff, they're trying to endanger you :)

"Everything we do is completely honest me" me: ya all u do is trick people into changing from adt to your company and scamming them 100% honest

Just got a couple of Armorax battery powered cameras, one for my front porch, the other for my daughter’s room. Couldn’t be happier. Great battery life and so easy to install

I live in Louisville Kentucky and the Alder people walked around my neighborhood a couple years ago and the looked shady as hell!!

*slowly lights the Alden sign on fire*

“Is water wet?” “Heck no”

Great appreciation to inside edition for every news

they'll clean up their act once a few of their guys get kneecapped.

Had a Vivint rep do the same thing to me! Came to my house pretending to be from my security company Ackerman saying he was there to "upgrade" me to a newer system. Reported him to Ackerman and the BBB. Apparently Vivint is doing this to a lot of current Ackerman customers all over Atlanta and Washington DC. This is just disgusting!

If you have to cheat to win, you shouldn't be playing. Simple.

Alder: ”we aren't using deceptive practices! You can't sue us!” Investigation discovery: ”Hold my beer”

I used to be a salesman for a paint company, and when management switched they had us do similar practices. of course, i quit that day and found a much better quality, and much better paying job at a concert venue! although I never did it myself, I did go through training (before I realised what it was) and my boss said the same exact thing, "isnt this a scam?" "heck no! its absolutely not a scam!" best advice I can give is not to give any salesman the time of day, if theres a problem with your service, they will call you before showing up at your door

HEY NOW YOUR A KEEMSTAR

"I work with GE. You know the little symbol?".... Wtf

This is so true so many salesmen can when my house had the ADT sigh then I brew away and they stopped going.

Thanks told my parents and they switched to ADT

Bruh how you gon ask ADT if it's a scam, He just mad he's never thought of it

Those people were BEGGING for me to join their system. I was like Sorry, *NO.*

What made me binge watch inside edition? Idc but I'm here and loving it.

1:53 looks right a the camera

“I work for GE, ya know they have that little symbol 👌🏼?” XD

Great Work yall

I swear. Inside Edition has some of the best real journalism.
