Beware of Scammers: A Cautionary Tale About Emergency Locksmiths
If you’ve ever found yourself in need of a locksmith, you may understand how stressful and urgent the situation can become. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have led me to a shocking revelation about a certain locksmith service—Emergency Locksmiths 24.
Having encountered them in the past while living alone in my previous apartment, I faced a rather disconcerting situation. They proposed a hefty charge of £400, claiming that they needed to drill into the lock to provide assistance. It was an outrageous demand that nearly left me stranded. In an act of desperation, I confronted the locksmith with a spanner in hand, ultimately getting him to leave.
Fast forward to today when my girlfriend, in the midst of preparing for a move, found herself locked out. We called the same company out of necessity, but they charged her an eye-watering £420. True to form, after drilling the lock, they left without even replacing it.
I can’t express how furious I am about this entire ordeal. If only these businesses had a physical office; I would make it a priority to confront them directly.
This serves as a critical reminder: always do thorough research before trusting any locksmith service. I strongly advise against using Emergency Locksmiths 24, as their business practices appear to be based on deception and overcharging. Protect yourself and your wallet by seeking reputable locksmiths who value integrity and transparency. Stay vigilant and informed!
