Suspicious phone call from ADT security representative

I just received a rather strange call from an "ADT representative", who had the homeowner's name and our street address, inviting us to a vague "event" this weekend, which, when pressed, sounded like a door-to-door sales pitch. But it really, really irked me that the representative could not provide an 800 number. I declined to tell him when the owner would typically be home.


This stinks of at best, horrible salesmanship. (He made a lame pitch about just getting one for his mom and his sister.) At worst, I suspect someone is trying to figure out when the house is unoccupied. Be careful out there.
