Awareness post!
There's currently a lot of fake/AI locksmith companies doing the rounds. They create AI generated profiles and photos on Google and even fake store fronts.
They can be easy to spot as they usually have little to no reviews. The few reviews they do have are fake.
They aren't always so easy though as some profiles are quite convincing so spend a few minutes doing some research. Do they have lots of reviews spread over several years? Do they seem to have lots of knowledge or understanding if you call them? Are they pushy (red flag)?
The consequences of using these fake locksmiths is that they usually increase the price massively when the job is complete, use inferior products leaving your home or business with a security risk or don't comply with regulations and standards.
