To inform the public

Hello, this blog page is to inform the general public about scammer locksmith companies.

Please don't relay on the internet to find a locksmith.

There are several companies that have been caught in news stings scamming customers and telling customers on the phone a price of $39 to open a locked car or house only to turn around and demend $200 or more CASH from the customer. Many times the guy will try to pick the lock but this is for show. Than he'll say the lock is high security and can't be picked-this is usually a lie unless the lock really is HS. He'll say he has to drill the lock which will cost more. After drilling a good lock, the scammer will sell you a cheap off brand lock for more than one costs at a hardware store, a $10 lock is marked up to $100 or more. Most of the scammer( I prefer the term parasite)companies employ people with very little to no locksmith training and almost never have the required state licensing or any insurance. Also they use call centers located several states away and most don't even have service vehicles but use cars with no signage or even taxis and most always have out of state plates.
This is just the tip of these scammer/parasite companies tactic to rip you off.
