Saved another person from getting scammed

It still gets me very upset to to hear about people getting taken advantage of by the scammers. These people either don't get it or they are just down right terrible human beings. You have to wonder what happened in their life that would cause them to lie, cheat and yes steal from other people everyday.

Well we saved a nice older lady today from getting burned. She dialed 411 and got connected with one of the scammers who said that they could come over in 30 minutes to do the job but she would probably be better off just having them put in new locks instead of re-keying her existing ones. That may be the case, but wouldn't you want to look at what the person has before you make that statement. The kicker is they were telling her that it would be between $300 and $450 to replace her old locks and put 4 new ones in.

The lady felt uncomfortable and decided to call her daughter before she went any further. Her daughter used us in the past and told her to call us.

We went out there and she had good schlage locks so we were able to re-key her 4 locks for $100 instead of the $300 - $450 she was quoted. We also made some low cost recommendations she could do to increase her security.
