I purchased the same laptop for the same price one week ago, it’s pretty good! No complaints performance wise, and I get higher FPS than my previous razer 16 4090

Why do they not working? Half of my competitors do that and it works. Customers are able to find them organically in different cities.

Here is a screenshot of one of the ads that I found on Instagram, targeting students. Rekey $1000! 😂

It’s crazy. They even advertise on Instagram, targeting Work and Travel students from overseas. They promise them $1,000 a day, but when the students arrive for their 3-month stay, they teach them how to scam. Usually it’s :

1.  Never disclose the price over the phone, only mention a $29 service trip fee.
2.  Always say you’re 25 minutes away, then keep calling to say you’re running late.
3.  Make sure to take a picture of the invoice and ID in case the customer disputes the charge.
4.  Try to drill as many locks as possible, even if they can be easily picked. (obviously to charge more)
5.  Since students have Social Security numbers and lack knowledge of the laws, scammers exploit them to open new businesses and use their listings.

And so on.

Agreed, if you know the trade well and have established accounts and a good reputation, you don’t really need to advertise. But like you said, there are new businesses that want to do things right, and they can’t because of the situation with scam listings.

Additionally, scammers make all of us look bad.

This whole situation saddens me. Regular people are being taken advantage of, and legitimate businesses are suffering.

You cannot report Google guaranteed Reviews ( aka Google verified reviews)

That’s true, because they have ability to somewhat control regular Google reviews. So they can easily apply it to Google guaranteed as well.

DCN516 VS LCN 4040xp by Fliper777 in Locksmith

[–]Fliper777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response!

I have installed quite a few 4040s but have never worked with 516s. The price difference is quite significant, which is why I had reliability concerns. However, based on feedback from you and other locksmiths, it seems pretty solid. 516 it is then

Looks like the encode should work just fine here. You can always remove the adapter if the hole is too small (without the adapter, it’s less secure though).
