Scam Description
I called a locksmith to rekey the locks in my new house. He showed up in an unmarked car, which I didn’t realize it was a red flag until I researched it. I also must have misunderstood the charges. I thought the charge would be $145 per lock set. The technician charged me $145 per lock which was double. I also found out later by research that the locks installed are very cheap and I was seriously overcharged. Unfortunately, I agreed to it and signed it. Both the text receipt and the physical receipt say that the company is absolved from any claims. It goes on to say that there are no warranties although I was told by the technician there was a one-year warranty. I am hoping there’s some recourse for me.
