Food for thought..........
We were tagged in a post last week on one of the Arbroath pages (thanks for the mentions π) We carried out the job yesterday and the customer is delighted! But.......
The customer had a direct message from someone claiming to be a locksmith saying they would change the lock and handles for Β£150.00 this was without seeing any pictures etc. They also wanted the Β£150.00 upfront transferred to a paypal account π€£ They promised to arrive the next day and do the job π€¦ββοΈ
No real locksmith will ever ask for payment upfront. If they do then that is a red flag ππ₯
The customer rung me on friday. I diagnosed faults with both doors over the phone, told her she doesnt need barrels, your upvc doors are sitting squint and your handles need replaced due to sea air π
10 years in business.
Over 500 5 βοΈ reviews across various platforms.
We are recommended by customers and thats how our business works. Do your homework first and never send money to a random person on facebook pretending to be a locksmith π This type of scams will become more frequent going forward π
