Expert Opinion
Verify the caller’s identity before sharing any details. If an ADT number rings, ask for the name of the homeowner and a reference number, then hang up and call the official ADT monitoring center back using the number on your billing statement or their website. Never give passwords, account numbers, or personal codes to an unsolicited voice. Check whether you’re listed as an emergency contact for a neighbor’s alarm system; legitimate alerts often sound urgent and may arrive at odd hours. Add the number to your Do Not Call list if the call was unwanted, and report persistent spam to the FTC.
