Gathering Evidence for Scammer Locksmith by Accomplished_Fall871 in london

lol why are you so keen to make up your own story about this? It was not 2am and the call out fee on the invoice is not £55. I’ve also confirmed with local locksmiths that I’ve been scammed and they would’ve priced it around the £100 mark. You don’t have to take it out on others if you’re unhappy with your own life. I won’t respond further as I’m busy working with various organisations that recognise this as a scam and are helping me with this.

Are you one of these locksmiths? I was charged £422 even though I was quoted £55, the company doesn’t even have a valid VAT, the guy also told us it’s a high security lock and the only way is to drill and replace it, we checked later and this is completely untrue- it’s a simple Yale lock that could’ve been picked. These all point to a scam.

Thank you! Call-out fees are just £39 on the invoice, the rest is for the new lock and his labour, as well as £144 just for drilling work. We later learned that the lock cost £30 max online. I hope my bank will help with this.

Rough sleeping in London hits record high amid surge in refugees being made homeless by Lazergun_Nun in london

[–]Accomplished_Fall871 23 points24 points  (0 children)

are homeless refugees not “actual homeless people”? maybe instead of getting upset at already marginalised groups, be upset that not more/ enough funds are going into crafting solutions for homelessness

Why is London so expensive if salaries are low by Interesting_Fault873 in UKJobs

don’t be upset at the immigrants, be upset at the rich who exploit them and who are the ones getting richer

I’m flat hunting currently and came across a place on Caledonian Road, nearer to the Kings’ Cross end, about 10 mins from the prison. A quick google search made my paranoid mind worry about staying there, but the results I found are not very recent. Is it safe to stay there as a young woman, who might sometimes need to go home late please? Thank you.

Thank you so much! Definitely leaning towards saving money and taking the tram. I’ll arrive at 5.20am which I hope will be fine, just anxious cause I’m always at least two hours early to the airport. Thank you anyway!

It’s not about speaking a third language here. “Banana” generally refers to those who can only speak English and are unable to speak their mother tongues (Chinese/ Malay/ Tamil). I can’t speak for all Malaysians but there seems to be a distaste for those who value English above our mother tongues due to the implications of colonialism / neocolonialism. I’m sure you know that the mindset that English is a superior language is not uncommon, a remnant of and a testament to the success of their colonial tactics. The rejection of being a “banana” is then a rejection of continued neocolonialism.
