CONSUMERS AND LOCKSMITHS BEWARE!
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns consumers of a nationwide locksmith swindle in an article released on July 10th.

In an effort to protect yourself and your consumers, include your locksmith license number in all advertising, as required by the NC Locksmith Licensing Board. Also, present your photo ID badge to consumers upon arrival to perform a job. All consumers should demand to see the state license badge when a locksmith arrives to perform a task! Consumers should also contact the BBB to inquire about a particular locksmith outfit before employing that company for their service. If a locksmith demands fees that differ from the fees originally quoted and seem excessive, the consumer should refuse to pay the excessive fee and contact their local police authority immediately! Be sure to get the name of the locksmith offering to provide locksmith services and submit a complaint to the BBB, the Attorney General's office and the NC Locksmith Licensing Board. Please contact the Board office should you have any questions about whether or not a locksmith is currently licensed by the Board.
