NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
----------------------------------- APX ALARM ANSWERS The REAL Truth, I've been on the inside Provo Utah
Not exactly a ripoff report, but as I read so many complaints about the ethics of this company, knowing firsthand the people they hire, I agree with all complaints 100%.
I have worked for the company for two years, and will probably work a third at this rate. I am a poor college student trying to make an honest buck, and this job allows me to provide a service for people really needing protection, with good compensation. I have been pressured many times by managers and regional managers to be pushier in my sales approach. Daily meetings were about getting people to sign the contract quickly and covering our butts against honest questions.
I have heard employess brag about lying to customers saying they could cancel anytime, etc. I know people that have run deseased people's credits in order to set up the system. There is a curteousy call made at the end of the sale to go over the contract agreements. It's intended to cover the companys butt when someone calls in and says that they didn't know this or that. Many salesmen pretend to be the customer, answering recorded conversations of yes and no to finalize the contract terms. Many salesmen forge signatures. So many times the opportunity has presented itself for me to make a quick buck by basically lying, but I couldn't do what these guys were doing. I don't make as much as some of the big dogs, as the more you sell troughout the summer moves you up the payscale. These guys just want you to keep the system until January when they have received their final check from the company. They seem to not care that people's lives are easily damaged by a negative experience such as this.
Because I am so fed up with the ethics of people they hire, I AM SO WILLING TO ANSWER ANY INSIDE QUESTIONS THAT COULD HELP YOU CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT, ETC.
The company publicly looks down on these guys, but behind close doors they are worshiped.

OK...don't stop now! Help we who were lied to and deceived get out of this mess!

POSTED: Friday, June 13, 2008My wife and I both fell for the salesmans line of crap. He was VERY good at the art of deception.
In my case, if you haven't read it yet, APX simply couldn't install the Vista system which was supposed to be able to handle all of my homes pre-existing hardwired sensors and switches. To tell you the truth, I don't think a Vista panel even exists!
I'm not saying I want out of a legal contract because I have buyers remorse. I AM saying I do NOT like being lied to and deceived. The price isn't too bad so it isn't that either. I wanted what the system I worked out with the salesman BEFORE I signed a contract.
If you have inside information that can help people; start typing. There's plenty of room in the forms on this site to say as much as you need to.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know not EVERYONE in that company is a lying POS. Good luck with college and your future young man.

POSTED: Monday, December 24, 2007Apx and other alarm companies are doing a great thing. Alarm systems are a huge value to your home and to your family.
Thanks to the yuppie who claims to have all the answers. All this guy is doing is leading ya'll on. And making his company look terrible in the mean time. He is promising you to help you and then no follow through. This would just be something else to moan and whine about when it comes time to pay the bill.
If you want something done, figure it out. Do what any other smart consumer would do. Research and negotiate.
I sympathize with some of your situations, however, please keep in mind, you didn't have to buy from anyone. No one forced you to sign a contract, and get your alarm system installed.
You had three business days to cancel. Why didn't you do it then? If a rep promised you the world why wouldn't you have recorded it on the signed contract. If you fell victim it was most likely because you weren't on your "A" game, paying attention to details. When a sales person, where ever and whom ever sales you something they expect you miss details. Unfortunatly that is the way economics work. You the consumer are responsible for asking questions, getting facts, getting promises in writing.
The lot of the guys selling have an enormous amount of integrity and would most likely help if asked. I am not going to promise you anything and I certainly am not going to take "on your case", I will offer this wisdom though,
If it sounds to good to be true, get it in writing. Every detail, every fact, every question and answer. These guys knock doors and have the time to sit down and be completly honest, if not, and he seems rushed, rush him out of your house.
Don't be fooled by empty promises, take the reigns in your hand and control your own wagon.
