With recent news coverage exposing rogue locksmiths, we want to share some warning signs to help you avoid being scammed.
⚠️ Advertising "too good to be true" prices in ads on Google (e.g. "£48 Labour" or "Prices from £39")
⚠️ Unverifiable claims and reviews (e.g. claiming to be "Used by authorities" or unverifiable 5-star ratings).
