A Vivint sales rep just left my house. He was trying to invite himself into my home. He made me feel very uncomfortable. Next time he comes back I will make sure my husband answers the door. I have a funny feeling that the sales reps setup burglaries in the neighborhood once they find out which homes do not have a security system.

The salesman was rude, ignored my no soliciting sign, reached for my door handle and said, “is this locked? I need to look inside.” I finally had to shut the door in his face. Two days later, he was back, same attitude, not listening or going away. Same ending. I have turned in a complaint with the company.

Scammy sales tactics!! As other people mentioned the sales guy kept taking about free equipment but it’s not free - you pay for it in monthly installments. They’ll open their pitch with the free stuff to get in the door but don’t waste your time with them if you’re not interested in spending $1500+ on equipment.

Vivint is a scam. It’s not professional at all. The equipment I got is worth $1826.00 but now I was told, that I have to keep a 5 years contract to pay for the equipment. At the end of my contract i will be paying $3900.00 . what a shame this company is.

While living in Northern Nevada a Viviant representative sold us their system ensuring us that if we moved we could cancel our contract without penalty.

Bad service & contract you can not get out of . Cameras do not work most of the time. They increase prices and do not let you leave the contract without trying to charge you remainder of your contract . You wait on hold forever and no one can do anything for you . Its like calling a cable company.

Would award less than a star if I could. I'm paying a whopping $69.99 a month. I can't cancel due to contract. The young salesman said I could cancel if I was moving. Not true! I would need to pay well over $700 to ditch them. The cameras never pick anything up. This is the biggest waste of money imaginable. I'm full of regret.
