Under oath, Vivint Smart Home executives told how sales staff deceived the company

[@powdernitz]

I worked for vivint. Everybody knew dirty and shady sales practices were common in the organization. Glad its finally out there. Starts with Todd.

[@yourneighborhood]

Total scumbag of a company.

[@Tony-gy1iy]

yup! I work for them and everyone in my department just accepts it like it's normal

[@Wheniawoke1]

Would you consider them an mlm?

[@ezlivin1]

They’re not an MLM. The people buying the product are end-users, not people buying because of an “opportunity”

[@itzz_solo_shotgaming4553]

As a former D2D salesman if I used these tactics I would have made bank. These tactics are extremely prevalent and leave all door to door people with a horrible name. The D2D security guys stating they took over their competitors committed fraud outright and all individuals involved down to the fraudulent D2D representatives need to be criminally charged.

[@KayDejaVu]

I had no idea Vivint did all this fraud. I heard about them some years ago and met a Canadian rep. Who knew.

[@richrichy9260]

Not exactly my company we do take overs but just cause we offer better deals then our competitors , we clearly tell who we work with and what we do and then mention how they like there security system 9/10 times they say they hate it and boom it’s opens us up to switch them over, only if they have a couple months left cause we buy out contracts but it does come out of our commission.

I worked for Vivint years ago and they were crooked then just as they are now! Don’t open your door if they come your way

This is deplorable. Utah is the worst state in the USA for fraud. We need our legislature to implement laws to make it easier to address these issues.

[@onlinetoday840]

florida and georgia are actually the worst

Oh. That’s what it was. That KZbin comment wasn’t random. The ad for the product suddenly appeared and they got me.

Lol not in America. Rich white people don’t go to prison

More like a slap in the wrist

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Nah they've got the best lawyers. Same reason corrupt politicians don't get any time in this corrupt country.

[@kitsune303]

Avoid vivint like an elephant farting plutonium.

[@LoveWithin]

I wish I could have joined the lawsuit. I was definitely a victim of shady sales tactics.

[@romulusremus7537]

I'd be curious to know if the sales people work directly, or if they are outsourced.

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Never let a door to door person in your house EVER. Tell them to leave or you are calling the police.

[@romulusremus7537]

They have been swarming in the Sacramento, CA area lately. I just close my door on them. No need to engage with idiots.

[@zacariasblanco8291]

Oh no! Those poor job creators

[@yourneighborhood]

Thievery, deception, & fraud are excellent ways to create jobs. 👌

[@tribemayamex]

they create false allegations of crime in you area and find tricky tactics to push their way in to your home once in they feel a sale it is going to happen since they would not leave until a contract would most likely be signed

[@tc6028]

And there you go!!! Yes that snake came in our house talking about we’ve been having a lot of break ins… like dude… this neighborhood isn’t even a year old…. And we have a HOA and a closed Facebook neighborhood group that reports EVERYTHING!.. So I am sure robberies, if they were happening .. would have been reported 🙄

[@brentbeatty4171]

They drilled my house without vacuuming after themselves

[@stephaniecampbell7576]

Yeah they didn’t tell me but I should have asked questions. They put it on a fortiva account. I saw the interest rate and became fearful. I paid the $1,350.00 in two payments. I got myself into something. I had to get myself out.
