Identity Theft

A few days ago, this Scottsdale locksmith  went to a service call for a woman who had her purse stolen from a store.  Ladies, do not get distracted in a store and leave your purse in a shopping cart or dressing room! Well, that’s what this woman did because let’s face it, we are all so busy!  We just want to shop and hurry on to our next “to do” item for the day!  Well, misplaced purse ended up being a stolen purse,  and she needed to rekey her house and we also changed the programing for her vehicle as well so her keys would not work for her car. 

The police officer suggested she rekey her house, but unfortunately, the police officer that took her report forgot to mention to her to call credit bureaus as well.  So this locksmith reminded her of that.

 Remember, if you are a victim of identity theft, here is a handy list of the credit bureau numbers:  Experian 888-397-3742, Trans Union 800-888-4213, Equifax 800-685-1111. Now it is my understanding that you just have to phone one and the other two will also receive the information, but if this happened to me?  I’d contact all three companies and put a freeze on your credit immediately.

Best,

Locksmith Advice for Tempe

One of my past clients phoned in today regarding an unfortunate event.  Seems one of his problematic teenage relatives went down the bad road again. The road that led unfortunately… to his house.  The teenager broke into the garage through the side door to steal a car and then the car ran out of gas and he was arrested.  This garage side door  I previously suggested he should guard.  He called to say…I should have listened to you and spent the money then on the guards.  He got in exactly as you said someone could.  So, it’s not the ringing of my bell situation that I write this it’s the…listen to your Tempe locksmith.  Good advice is out there.  Good locksmith advice from a REPUTABLE locksmith in Tempe.  Please, upgrade your mechanical home security.
