I just called what I thought was a local locksmith in Seattle, WA. I was dead wrong! We just closed on our home in Seattle, WA and wanted to get the locks changed. So I figured I would go with a company that appeared to be local and they said they were licensed. When I called www.seattlelocksmith.net a man named James answered and said a name different than what I called. I explained my situation and asked if I could verify the license or some sort of certificate. He said give me your information and one of our locksmiths will show you the license when he arrives.
Now, we have heard of the bogus companies on and off again on the local news and we see it all over the internet. Locksmiths warning us about these companies. Well the man I spoke with had no accent and spoke great english. He was very clear in stating that he was un-aware of the license information and the technician would have that information. I said are you serious. He said yes. Then he said give me your information and I'll send someone right out. I replied with you want me to give you my info and address and trust your so called business to secure my family's home and you can't tell me anything about your company. "yeah right!" Let me tell you something Complete Locksmith or whatever your comnpanies name is this hour. I looked up your companies address and did a satelite view of it too! It was a fake address.
Here is where you went wrong. First of all lying to me. I have a wife and two precious little ones and I'll be dammed if your company will be anywhere near my home. As a matter of fact I build websites for a living and will be digging a little deeper into this. I will expose your fraud and telling me to go F---off and call someone else did not help your business either.
The government could give a rats behind about licensing locksmiths in certain states and so I guess the won't mind me making sure the world knows about your fraud!
You almost got me and I would have been another victim and just another click in stats for the BBB site who really can't do jack except enterprise off of fraud victims.
I will expose your ip address and your true names as well as anything else I can find ust this side of legal. The Federal Courts just made it ok to put a GPS on anyones vehicle without a warrant this last week in August 2010.
Even the owner of Rip Off Reports discloses his real name and so should your company. If you fake locksmiths were legite and even had so much as an LLC or registered with the Sec. of States office. I would stop! But you don't and it's wrong and if your going to keep on doing wrong I will just keep on letting people know who you really are!
Remember if any locksmith licensed or not comes to your home-office or automobile ask to see a Valid Drivers License and copy the information. It's your right to know who has your keys and it only makes sense. If they refuse then...Call a guy that has nothing to hide and a locksmith you can trust.
Make a stand America. Your government is apparantly more concerned with the whitehouse dog than making sure locksmiths are licensed.
My painter needs to be licensed but some Gypsy Scam Group needs no license?
Really?
Really?
Remove this report and I will just build a website and crush these scam artisit.
I promise!
