WARNING

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Unsuspecting consumers need to be wary of unscrupulous locksmiths ripping them off.

For most of the last 12 months, consumers have been ripped off repeatedly by these scam artists.

Notably, these companies usually list multiple telephone numbers with local area codes in the Yellow Pages, but all calls are handled from a national call center in New York.

Originally known as Priceline Locksmiths, having been prosecuted under that name in many states, they changed their name to Dependable Locksmiths.

Most of their employees happen to be foreign or illegal workers, mostly from the Middle East.

ALOA knows about them and has warned the public already. There are multiple news reports all across the country by investigative reporters, confronting them.

Here is a recent report from Missouri that shows they are already here plying their scam to unsuspecting Missourians.

St Louis is not exempt from them either. I bumped into one of their employees at The Galleria mall just the other day.

Be Very Careful.
