The locksmith ripoffs are REAL!!!
These counterfeit locksmiths are real. They are nationwide and spreading like cockroaches. I am The Vice President of the Illinois Indiana Locksmith Association and have bee tracking these gypse type ripoffs for more then two years. They have been impersonating locksmiths all over the country. It is so large and almost Mind boggling how widespread these phonys are. The are in every major city in the US. there are many of these companys springing up all over the nation and they are all some how related to each other. The common denominator is that they all appear to be Israeli run. Most of the employees are here on tourist visas. There have been some in Texas that were arrested for acting as locksmiths without a license and it was found out their visas were expired and they were deported.
They are not small individual locksmiths but rather large organized crime type outfits.
The actual people who come out to homes to do the dirty work are employees that have been trained to ripoff the consumer. The actions and mo of all the individuals seem the same. They are taught to rip off the consumer by the big dog scum that run these outfits. There general scam is to quote a service call price of usually 55.00 and then up the charge when they get there. they routinely will drill house locks and actually charge you extra to destroy the locks so they can rip you off some more by selling you a 5.00 crap lock for 100.00 or even 200.00. they use bait and switch pricing.
Verizon has deleted almost 100,000 phony locksmith listings from there online directory in the past year. They have also about a week or two ago actually separated there advertising from the phone company portion of the business. The new company is now called idearc. I can only assume this is a logical action to avoid the possible liability of what is going on.
If you want to do a test go to smartpages.com and search for locksmith and choose a city and or state. Example if you search locksmith and Pensylvania the first 1000 listings and even more are all two different scam locksmith companys. The addresses are all fraudulent. Try Miami florida, las angelas ca, and many other large citys you will see the same thing.
These phony companys are raking in millions each year. One of the new york companys it has been said they are making 20 million a year.

When will these fraudsters ever learn they can never get away with things like this – especially when it’s of this magnitude?

It is rampant, it is the norm, huge pressures are applied to insure Jewish brethren join in, it is so endemic, only something huge could stop it. And there is punishment for the refuseniks. This is 21st Century Judaism. A network.
