Q: How do I avoid Scammers?

A: Ask for a business license number and investigate it accordingly, also, trust your instincts.

As of July 24, 2015 it is unlawful to: advertise as a locksmith without the inclusion of the business license number. Scam locksmiths misrepresent where the physical location of the business is in order to use a local telephone number that does not connect locally. They are typically unprofessional and they may use the opportunity provided to them to discern vulnerabilities in your security to exploit. If you ever feel unsafe be sure to avoid further contact and notify the proper authorities.
If you have been a victim of one of these scam artists you can file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office.

A: Yes but be very careful. This is not legal in several states and can be argued, if criminal intent can be proven, in a court of law in the vast majority of others. Possession of entry tools including lockpicks and other devices may provide grounds for criminal prosecution.
