Avoiding Scammers

"Total Price"

Scammers will often quote a super low price for the unlock only, excluding the service call. Be sure to ask if the price quoted is the total price . This will help you to avoid surprise charges that could double or even triple your price.

Bait & Switch

Locksmith scammers are a nationwide problem. A common practice of scammers is to advertise with names or addresses similar to established locksmiths, to fool you into calling them. In a typical Google search, the company you're actually calling is in small print, at the BOTTOM OF THE AD.

Use credit cards for payment

Fake or unqualified locksmiths will often demand cash so the transaction can't be tracked. Your best defense from fake locksmiths is to make sure they take credit cards, ahead of time, in case of future problem with the service. No receipt offered, or a plain invoice or receipt is a big red flag. It's also a great idea to have someone with you when final payment is due.
