Watch Out For Locksmith Scams!
Scam #1 – You are locked out of your house. The locksmith shows up and the very first method of opening a lock they try is to drill it. Sometimes a lock has to be drilled, bit a vast majority of the time, a good locksmit can open a lock without damaging it.
Scam #2 – The $19.95 service call fee is a rip-off. By the time the locksmith leaves, you will be in to them for several hundred dollars. A reputable locksmith can give you the final cost before they show up. A good business person will obviously try to upsell their services, but there’s nothing wrong with that as long as they are honest and up front.
