Could be better We've been a customer for years. We pay for monitoring monthly. For the most part we have had great customer service. We recently experienced a loss of phone service including all dial tone, yet we weren't contacted by the service at all. They have an alternate number to reach us in such an emergency, but no one did so. We are beginning to wonder if their monitoring is worth the price. we also have issues with the equipment we had to pay for when we signed up and we cannot get it repaired. Oh well.

Not only stay away, RUN away! Where to begin... They sent the system to the wrong address, then stated that I should go to the address to pick it up from whomever lived at the address they sent it to. I convinced FedEx to go and retrieve the package and route it to me. 6 days later, it arrives and is nothing like I was told. The sensors were big and barely fit anywhere. Since I already had a wired system, my wife and I decided that we were going to pass and send this back. I called them and told them I wanted to cancel and to keep my initial fee for their troubles. After them trying to haggle with me and tell me I am out of the contract window to cancel, I simply told them to sue me. They said I had 15 days and it's funny how I called to cancel before that but apparently they consider the 5 days of shipping and the other 6 days that it took for FedEx to retrieve the package from the wrong address as part of the 15 days... So now it is 3 months later and I get a call from Damon telling me that he does't want to send this to a 3rd party collection and that they will give me a option to pay off the contract. A contract that was never valid and for which I never received service. This company is a boiler room company with horrible customer service and should start taking responsibility for their own mistakes. If you mess up then you eat the cancellation. You don't try to bully someone into giving you money for services that you didn't provide.

Great at start up, now no one want to help me, place on hold for a long time when I called for assistance. When I first signed up everyone there was helpful and I can get help quickly. Now, every time I called for anything like monthly testing, question about changing my auto pay from one bank to another, seem like I am taking a back seat. Waiting time is longer and when the person pick up, he/she put me back on hold so he/she can transfer me to someone else. Ive been with this company for 2.5 months and it is being treated like this I cant wait to see how they going to treat me as a customer as time move on.

There monitoring number is no longer… There monitoring number is no longer monitoring for Protect America as of May 5th, 2020. Their main number is no longer taking calls, you have to 'text' them your question. Obviously this is not the correct way to do business. They should have emailed each client to let them know they will not be doing business the same way in the future. From what I can tell by the CEO and 'Dave' is that the business has taken a big hit by everyone now at home. It is a crime they are not being transparent. I have instructed my bank to stop automatic payments since there is no service.

Protect America Austin Texas Dishonest & Deceptive Company! If there’s any doubt that Protect America in Austin Texas is not a corrupt, sorry and pitiful company, please read the reviews taken verbatim from Yelp. There are hundreds of them going back several years. Their main emphasis is ripping their clients off for every cent they can. They deploy an in-house sycophant/toady Andrew R. who responds to hundreds of negative reviews with a “thanks for reaching out.” I know it’s not easy being a shill for one of the worst companies in the world, but how about a little understanding, compassion and fundamental decency? No such luck with this dishonest, deceptive & pathetic company “I find it a bummer when companies take advantage of situations, when the customer is clearly unhappy with their services, and no longer using, or wanting to use their services, yet they still demand payment for them. You would think a company would want to have their customers walking away from their services, feeling good, or at least neutral about it. This practice of their's, ensures that the customer is walking away unhappy, frustrated, and very likely inspired to speak poorly of the company. I know I will never use Protect America again, and I will likely be more vocal about it to those asking about it. Please choose wisely.” “Beware of these company! Me and my husband got both laid off! Last year when I was still in the trail period and wanted to cancel they gave me three months free I said Okay yet I call Explain how I'm being affected by covid19 and they've said I reached my maximum amount Of credits without knowing those three months were added as credits! What are we Going to do now!? There is a contract and this could negatively affect my credit! No sense of empathy or caring for the customer! Just caring on messing people more up knowing we're in a crisis!” “I find it a bummer when companies take advantage of situations, when the customer is clearly unhappy with their services, and no longer using, or wanting to use their services, yet they still demand payment for them.

They are very scammy and the equipment is terrible. Avoid these guys and the lengthy contracts. Protect America does not do what they advertise, at all, in any way shape or form. There reviews have only remained strong because they basically pay people or give them something at a discount to write a better review. I know this first hand, because I they offered me free things to change my review. The truth is, they will not be there when you need them the most. There entire business model is based on creating unnecessary fees, over charging, and when you cancel they bill you one extra time to get another payment. they are only following the procedure. There system is a scam making customers feel like it is their fault because the equipment is not working. If you want to be nickel and dimed, if you want horrible customer service, and most of all if you want your home to be unsafe and get charged for it.... then sign up with these guys. time. adequate alarm services as they advertise. Protect America is just terrible, there is no other way to put it.If I could rate them lower than one star, I. Their lack of integrity and inferior customer service is horrendous.” 4/30/2020 Updated review “This company will not stop calling me after I told them I do not want to do business with them. Harassment pure & simple! We have been trying to cancel this account for over a year now and every time we call the wait time is over an hour! They just keep charging our account each month
