Recently accidentally left my keys in my apartment, was told be owner that there weren’t any extra keys, had to call a locksmith company. During a cell phone google search a company called 24 hour emergency locksmith service resulted. Called the number listed 678-829-5590 a male with a heavy middle eastern accent answered, told me service call is 19.95 then price goes up from there all depends on what service is needed. A worker arrived in a regular car no logo, or company name displayed, he wore a black sweatshirt imprinted with "24 hour locksmith services 678-757-7878" I asked for an id he refused said they don’t need id’s, I asked where was his truck said they don’t use trucks only their personal cars. He made no effort to open the lock, he then said he was unable to and wanted to bust the lock with a drill which would up the price to $150.00 or more. Told him not to and leave. My card was swiped using a cell phone app I was charged $54.00 instead of the $19.95 service fee from a company called "MsLockSmith" requested a refund no reply from the company and their website & FaceBook page isn’t working.
