I wrote down my info at a mall to win a john deer; Just got a call telling me i won a security system because of from security force inc in, their telling me i don't have to pay nothing they just want me to spread the word about their system by installing their product free. They claim its free. Its been close to a month since i entered it, their saying im in the contest to win the mower in September. Iv looked em up online & they seem sort of legit but theirs gotta be a catch.. They its only for home owners, & that's where my mom comes in.. But it seems sketchy, their wanting to come soon as possible that's a little strange. like i said they don't have

Yes, there's a catch. A whole big catch.
They'll install some basic equipment for free. It's probably not enough for the whole house. They'll try to upsell you (or your mom) on additional equipment. But that's up to you or her to take it.
The real catch is the monthly monitoring charge. That's NOT included. That could run as low as $20 a month, or a lot more--$40 or more, for instance. Every month. And I'm sure you've got to sign something like a 12-month or 24-month contract. So you get the free equipment installed. And then you commit to pay $250-$1,000 or so for the monitoring service.
Don't do it.

There is a catch - and that probably is that the security system and installation may be free but the monthly payments for security service are not. The cost of the system and installation is factored into the price they will want for monthly security fees, kind of like getting a "free" cell phone.
