Unqualified Locksmiths Ripping Off Home Owners

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - EntSun -- Unqualified locksmiths are ripping off home owners and renters out of big money. By posing as legitimate businesses they are offering services for which they are untrained and unqualified.

"If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true".

Illegitimate businesses are advertising a call-out fee of just $45 on-line.  This entices desperate clients who are locked out. But unqualified untrained people are ruining the clients' locks. The final bill can be $400-$500 to rectify.
