Locksmith question

[neocon]

Does £1456 sound too much for replacing a lock that had a front door key snapped in it? I think my elderly father was scammed.

What time of day and day of the week are we talking about?

During the day

 

[neocon]

Well thanks for your advice

 

[neocon]

Can't see any online presence as well, which to me is always a bad sign.
Really sorry to hear that, is you dad old enough to be "Not so wise"?

Early eighties, but he's had a small stroke

 

[neocon]

I could see how angry and sad he was....

 

[neocon]

Why is there no VAT on that receipt?

Good point, I have no idea, Eve Security Ltd doesn't pay taxes either?

 

[neocon]

Sad really, he wants to forget about it. That guy is free to continue ripping people off

 

[neocon]

He's embarrassed and want's it to go away. Deal with it for him.

I can't do a charge back though

 

[neocon]

Find a way to connect with me. They once charged an old lady £3000.

That same company?

 

[neocon]

Moving forward I’d use this experience to convince him that he should always contact you first about this sort of thing and to always get written quotes first

It was just really bad timing, I had gone out for the day. Neighbour even offered to take him to town, but he decided to sort it out himself.
