Thank you for letting me know about these people. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENTIRE SECURITY INDUSTRY IS BASED ON DECEPTION,PREYING UPON PEOPLE'S FEARS and DESIRE TO BE SAFE and SECURE, now more than ever, when there does not seem to be security or safety in the world and not even in our basic economy on which our jobs and livelihood are based. I hope that you all did not sell your home in OREGON! Sounds like it. Sounds like to me that you have some legal damages coming against these bastards if you did give everything up on the promise that you would be able to make a living selling these alarms. Also, you can't take ANYBODY'S word for ANYTHING ANYMORE. This "best friend" sounds like a Judas goat who was getting a percentage of the sales and perhaps a fee per head for anybody he brought into the sales program --- a referral bonus or such. I guess it was enough to lose a friendship forever -- you guys ARE NOT having anything more to do with this ( Expletive deleted) are you after he put you through all of this? And as long as you all were in Minnesota, I would have checked out other employment possibilities instead of just BLINDLY having left my community solely on the basis of the word of some money-driven treacherous schmuck. And I would definitely talk with an attorney about a possible breach of contract or promise of employment suit. By the way, a pair of rubber boots like you wear on dairy farms when you hose down the premises or some galoshes would have a cheap thing to get and you need them when walking in snow to avoid pneumonia and other nasties that you can get while walking in snow. This whole operation has RIP OFF in red letters visble for ten miles and I don't think you or any other reasonable and prudent person would have fallen for it had it not been for the "word" of you husband's so-called friend. I don't know how old you are. Sounds like to me you are in your twenties and I hope that it is not too late for you guys to PROMISE NEVER,EVER to just rely on somebody's "Word" because it isn't worth JACK anymore. AND that you will check out all companies in the Rip Off Report or another CREDIBLE SOURCE like the Internet or Swopes or ANYPLACE ELSE before you gamble your entire life on them! Don't ever go more than 20-30 miles to look for a job or commute to work, especially if you have relatives, good friends ( Whose livelihood does NOT depend upon lying to you), religious or spiritual group as SUPPORT GROUPS/SAFETY NET. I would check into sueing this so-called friend for FRAUD and the company for INTENTIONAL FRAUD ( Both tort/civil actions) so they would reimburse me for the costs of gasoline and mileage to Minnesota and back to Oregon, and the time I actually spent on the street. $700 LUMP SUM WHEN TWO PEOPLE WERE WORKING IS RIDICULOUS. By offering you the sum, they are admitting their wrongdoing and they want you to take that money as a final settlement. DON'T FALL FOR IT. REMEMBER THIS UNHAPPY INCIDENT AND NEVER FALL FOR ANY MORE PRIVATE SECURITY RELATED LIES,FRAUD, CHEATING, MISREPRESENTATION and GENERAL GARBAGE PROMISES AGAIN! DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY. DO NOT HAVE A SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM THAT IS LISTED IN THE RIP-OFF REPORT INSTALLED IN YOUR HOME. HAVE NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH THAT SO-CALLED "FRIEND" WHO GOT YOU INTO THIS MESS!
