Scams
Don't get Scammed!
Always look for our seal in our ads...
 TM
Nationwide, the locksmith industry is
attracting thousands of scam artists.
Several are here in San Diego. They prey on
individuals that need service quickly. They
end up charging hundreds more than what is
quoted. Most are not licensed nor have any
locksmith training.
Before you need a locksmith, program in your
phone a company you trust or always look for
our seal on the advertisement.
Any reputable locksmith will have a business
card. Let the locksmith know upon arrival
you will require them to give you a
business card that matches the name on the
ad you just called. Using multiple
names and phony addresses is a common scam.
If there’s a problem, the scammers will have
multiple excuses why they are not
responsible.
Ask questions - it’s your security.
Commercial
If you are a business or commercial account,
make sure the locksmith you select is
properly licensed and insured. If a
locksmith has a "helper" the helper must be
on their payroll and covered by workers’
compensation insurance or must provide you,
the customer, documentation they have the
proper license and insurance that you
require. Allowing a service technician on
your property to do work without this
information is a liability for the owner.
