Ripoff Report Verified REVIEW:
EDitors UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to APX Alarm for its commitment to excellence in customer service.
Ripoff Reports discussions with the company have uncovered an ongoing commitment to total customer satisfaction. You can expect to have any questions or concerns that you have with them to be answered and resolved in a timely manner. They have shown us their customer service process, and it reflects a desire to serve customers, as well as fix problems.
The company's management specifically told us about how their job is to simplify lives and help people to live intelligently. The management really wants every person who buys a system to feel valued. The concern for each customer's experience starts at the top, and is reflected in the action of every employee they hire.
The company also works to monitor their sales and customer support calls to see how they can be improved. They use these calls as examples for employees in training. Currently, Vivint is working to make changes to their contracts to make things easier for their customers as they have found that many of their complaints stem from feeling misled or customers paid fees they did not feel they authorized.

APX Alarm System DO NOT TRUST Deceptive Salesmen of APX Alarm System MORROW Forest Park Georgia
I don't think I could recall having been cheated by any one person or organization with shrewd-criminal-like salesmen that APX Alarm system has. A young male came to my house advertising this company and offered free installation and activation with FREE SERVICE for the first 36 WEEKS. After that, we have the option to cancel the service or pay 39.99 per month if we decide to extend the service. He told us to sign the form, and later that month, we received a notification bill that required us to pay 39.99 per month for a total of 39 MONTHS!!! I called the company and told them we were not informed of any charges until at least after 36 weeks but they told us that we have already agreed to the terms of the contract and that we signed the form. This is TOTALLY NOT TRUE. So I called the salesperson and when I mentioned my name and why I called, he immediately hung up! Then I called the company again to file a complaint on the salesman but I am sure no legal action is brought against him. This is just a warning/advice to all to TRUST NO ONE, especially the salesmen representing APX Alarm system.

Again, the whole purpose of this report is not aimed to defame this company's reputation, but to convince and inform others to be aware of scams and chicanery from any salesmen about. Do yourself a favor and avoid business from any salesmen from APX if possible. These people will do do anything deceitful so that they can earn their bonus paycheck. But if you are still interested in having a security system installed for your safety, do call the company and talk to customer service to confirm if everything the salesperson said is correct. ***I certainly have learned my lesson and I will spread the word about this salesman who professed himself by the name of Darron (but calls himself B.J. on his automatic voice recorder). (So-called Darron came to my house on May 2009)
