Salesmen for Pinnacle Security have reportedly been going through Wichita neighborhoods and telling customers of CastleRock Security that the company has gone out of business. “These imposters then attempt to remove the CastleRock security equipment and attempt to obtain a blank, voided check so that they can start billing withdrawals from the customers’ checking accounts.”

If someone comes to tell you in person that your home security system no longer works, be sure to call the company yourself to find out the truth.

What’s funny is the official website for Pinnacle Security (www.pinnaclesecurity.com) is currently down.
