Phony Locksmiths Give Good Guys A Bad Name

The professionals at Fidelity Locksmiths in Los Angeles have had it with the few bad apples who are giving the entire locksmith industry a bad name. For more than 30 years, our company has worked hard to provide customers with high-quality, low-priced locksmith services. We are sick and tired of hearing the seemingly never ending stream of horror stories about unscrupulous locksmiths taking advantage of unsuspecting customers. That’s why Fidelity Locksmith Services recommends every home- and business-owner in Southern California take a couple minutes out of their busy day and watch ABC News’ segment about phony locksmiths. It will be time well spent because you’ll learn how to avoid being ripped-off and save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in unnecessary charges.

ABC does an excellent job of exposing the various locksmith scams that are appearing across the country. These range from out-of-state companies fraudulently posing as local locksmiths to untrained technicians running up the bill by turning simple repairs in to major projects. The worst rip-offs take place in emergency situations, typically when people accidentally lock themselves out of their car or home.

Locksmith Rip-Off Warning Signs

• The person answering the phone simply says “Locksmith.” but not the company name.
• The company won’t give its exact address.
• The company won’t provide details about their service or business.
• The locksmith is not wearing a uniform.
• The locksmith’s van is unmarked.
