Another “Phoney Locksmith” Case Heading to Court

More good news in the continuing battle with “phony or predatory locksmith scams”.

A federal grand jury here has charged the operators of a Florida-based locksmith company with scamming customers across the country and hiring illegal workers.

This action started as a lawsuit by the Missouri Attorney General, whowas really the first state to take positive enforcement action against the purveyors and enablers of these scams. The original suit also threatened phone directory companies with very heavy fines if ads were not pulled from print and Internet directories.

All enforcement activity is welcome in the ongoing battle with this and all consumer scams.
