Unfortunately, there still seem to be plenty of scammer copycat locksmiths out there stealing business away from the legitimate guys. Here is a link to an article about a recent arrest in Palm Beach, Fla., of a scammer posing as a worker from a legitimate locksmith company: http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/news/national/police-charge-copycat-locksmith/nWMqM/
According to the published story, these scammers somehow managed to post their phone number online in place of the legitimate locksmith company’s correct phone number. This is a good reminder to search for locksmiths in your area online as if you were a consumer and make sure all your contact information comes up correctly.
