What we know

Public Google Maps review confirms fake address: "BEWARE!!! This is a bogus shop and address. It does not exist. I have been there, searched for it. Like other locksmiths online, it is not a business which is established locally — instead the employees must travel in from elsewhere. I would absolutely NOT trust this locksmith." Direct confirmation from a member of the public who physically visited the address. 3.6 star rating — low for a locksmith listing. Mobile number used rather than landline or virtual number. First detected August 2026.
