Voicemail is your greatest asset against fraud. YouMail identifies known scam callers. They will hear an &#8220;out of service&#8221; message and the scammers will take you off their list and move on. If you&#8217;re in the market for a home security system, here are a few suggestions (courtesy of the FTC):<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1e5233bb9e69ca6be6171f62af8fd686\">Get references from your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and from the company&#8217;s current clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-32317d17a68f15230d2cc827b1d1be74\">Check out the companies online. Read about other people&#8217;s experiences with the companies. In addition, contact your state Attorney General, local consumer protection agency, and the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints are on file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8f21622616cce62e9ac4652f9be78f6e\">Verify that the contractor&#8217;s licenses are current and in good standing. Check with the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies for the appropriate agency in your state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-da99399dc47874222e56defa34c841e5\">Get written estimates from several companies, and ask plenty of questions. A reputable company will not try to sell you anything before completing a professional assessment of your needs and the layout of your home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Find out more about the number. Check out &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/directory.youmail.com\/\">YouMail&#8217;s online phone directory<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;to see if that number has negative reports or belongs to a known scammer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Don&#8217;t be fooled by promises of FREE.
