If you’ve ever looked for a locksmith in a Google search the number of results you will see is staggering. Some of the results are links to the direct site, while many others are links to links of sites. I looked up “Locksmiths in Los Angeles, CA” and got around 400,000 results. You would think this would be an easy task. But it can be an endless cycle. You go to one page that says locksmith, but it is just a page of links to other locksmith sites, clicking one of those links takes you to yet another page of links.
What a hassle! And you know there can’t be that many locksmiths in the area, most of these sites are probably scamming sites for companies no where near Los Angeles or California for that matter.
You could spend hours if not days trying to find a locksmith that actually has an office in the Los Angeles area. Many of the locksmith scammers list addresses that turn out to be empty lots, abandoned buildings, or completely unrelated active businesses. So what they say is true. “Look for a locksmith, before you need one”.
You can’t even search for reviews, since you just keep getting the same sites for locksmith businesses. Sometimes you will get lucky and find some vague reviews for a company, but not often enough in my opinion.
