States that due to number of residential burglaries in my area ADT is offering a FREE HOME Security System  

They claim that, because of a spike of burglaries in my area, I'm entitled to a free security system. I'm highly doubting the legitimacy of the call.

I don't have caller ID on the phone the call came in on. It was a prerecorded message, and this was the callback number they gave.

I'm very sure the call is NOT legitimate. We just got one -- and we ALREADY HAVE a home security system FROM ADT. If this really was ADT calling, they would (or should) have known that we are already customers.

My guess is that the true purpose of the call is not to sell home security systems, but to build a list of homes that don't have one -- especially those where the call went to voice mail. That way, they get of list of phone numbers, which they can easily cross-reference to addresses, where there's nobody home during the day, and no alarm system either. Any "rise in residential burglaries in your area" is the result of these calls, not the cause of them.

I'm glad we have a monitored alam system AND a dog.

I just got this same call & found your post by searching for info about this.

I thought she said it was an ABT security system, not ADT.

The call I got came from 708-960-4836. Searching that number, it does not appear to be a business listing but a Yolanda Harrison in Glenwood, Illinois. My caller ID has identified the caller as USA PRIVES.

They made my ears perk up with their opening words: "This is a public safety call." I immediately thought, "Gee, let's see if it really is or if it's a private business selling something, or possibly a scam."

all came from 708-914-4204. Sales pitch for ABT (to sound like ADT) home security system for free. Right. Leaves a call back number of 888-576-6713.

888-576-6713 as reference to call back for free ADT ABT??? security sysrtem.
The call came from 708 960 0766 USA PRIVES. ,which belong to Edwards Monica at Country club Hills.

It SOUNDS like they are saying "ADT", but if you listen closely, they ARE saying "ABT".  

Also, if you notice, the caller's number that everyone posted here is different (NOT the callback number of
888-576-6713, but the number the call CAME from)...this is because these are "work from home" telemarketers, or, as the above poster mentioned, it could quite possibly be various criminals looking for homes that do not have a security system, but I'm betting it's just work-from-home telemarketers.  

The call I received was shown on my caller ID as "USA PRIVES" 708-991-2496 and belongs to a Scottie D. Hogroe, age 38, from Tinley Park, IL.  According to Radaris.com, Scottie is related to:  
Brenda Shepherd, ~52
Stacey Bussell, ~40
Damon Hogroe, ~42
Brenda Hogroe

SO, if everyone that receives this call comes here and continues to post the CALLER's number (from their caller ID), then we can all harass these telemarketers at our convenience ;)  call them repeatedly, during normal dinner times, in the middle of the night, as the rooster crows on Sunday morning, during major televised sports events, during the finales of top TV shows, on holidays, etc. Let's see how THEY like it!

I forgot to mention, if you DO want to play "harass the telemarketer", BE SURE to punch in *67 on your phone right before dialing the telemarketer's home phone number......this SHOULD block any caller ID info on their phone, and is supposed to show only "unknown caller" on their caller ID, but I'm not sure if it works the same for EVERY phone service company.  Check with your phone service provider, if *67 doesn't work with your phone service, they should have another method to do so.  Actually, this is what the "work-from-home" telemarketers SHOULD be doing before calling strangers from their own home phones.  Duh.

I received a call from the number (on my ID) 1708/960-0850 .  Message stated crime is high in my area and to call 1888/576-6713 for FREE ADT monitoring system installation and FREE activation. When I call 1708/960-0850 the number rings and disconnects or gives a steady "busy signal".  When I call 1888/ 5766713 a man answers with "I understand you're interested in getting an ADT System".  The name with the 1708/960-0850 number on my ID is USA Prives.
