The Locksmith Scam is pretty simple. Scammers are placing ads online and using email to promote really low-cost services. Then, when you need to change your locks, they come and take the lock you have and disassemble it and then tell you they have to charge a lot more to change your locks. That way, you no longer have a functioning lock and you are upset but more likely to pay the increased amount just to get any working lock back on.
Watch out for this one.

Thanks for shedding light on this issue. I am a pretty paranoid person and am always wary of being a victim of scams like these.
ReplyDeleteI will not agree with you. All the Locksmith are not Scammers.
ReplyDeleteOh, I completely agree with you. It is NOT that all locksmiths are scammers. I do not want to imply that. It is that I want to alert people to those cases when unscrupulous scammers prey on people who are used to trusting locksmiths. But it certainly doesn't mean all locksmiths are scammers.
