24 Hour Mr Locksmith Mr ProLock, Mr Locksmith, AAAutomotive Locksmiths Scam Artist Locksmith in Vancouver BC - 24 Hour Mr Locksmith - Fraudulent Advertising Vancouver, British Columbia

I am Terry Whin-Yates and I own 24hr Mr. Locksmith Inc.  I have a BC Locksmith Security License and the comment is false.  If you go online to the BC Government website as follows:

http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/securityindustry/eservice/index.htm

and input the name of Robson Locksmith or the owners' name you will find they do not have a valid BC Locksmith Security Business License.  

Note: Robson Locksmith and Colin Evans are no longer associated with Mr. Locksmith or Terry Whin-Yates.

Also, the complaint is a little too detailed for an anonymous posting? I am not hiding so I put my name and phone number on any postings.

The link DOES forward to the wrong site. You can try it out and it has a picture of the same douche who posted a rebuttal with his name denying it. Wow. He's either a loser or an idiot. Nice job posting your name and number too, so we can all know who to call for more bullshit. 24 Hour Mr Locksmith must be apart of the same locksmith scam that's going on all over the US. Rip-off!!

Plus the picture of this guy "Terry" has another caption on it with the name "Michael Lee" If you hover your pointer over the picture you'll see it! This guy isn't even a real person! or he uses an alias!! Wow, scammer you just don't stop.

Here's the link to Terry Whin-Yates Better Business Bureau F Rating. Ha. The Company name is "Mr Prolock". So he changes company names when ever he gets found out. Wow that's so brave, Mr Whin-Yates if that's your real name.

Here is the proof of Terry Whin-Yates fraudulently reviewing his own Locksmith scam companies. Note that Terry has a son, Brian Whin-Yates, that works and writes for his scammer company.

What you see here is reviewer profiles that give perfect reviews to two different Google Maps listings for Terry's companies. In one case you see a reviewer reviewing a company twice as if two separate people and in one case the reviewer named "Brian" signs his name "Sarah L".

Terry Whin-Yates is a Stupid Crook, not a Locksmith. Beware of his other scams posted all over the internet. Here they are:

1. Franchise Scam - targeting immigrants and the ESL community, Terry

Whin-Yates is selling phony franchises for a five-figure fee with no

support and no justification. He also breaches his contracts and has

stolen work from his franchisees.

2. Locksmith Class Scam - Whin-Yates makes wild claims to be the

instructor of the RCMP, Correction Services of Canada, the Canadian

Forces and even CSIS and the CIA. His class is actually how to re-pin a

Weiser lock cylinder a simple task you can learn on the internet or by

buying a re keying kit.. He also teaches a class on how to rip off the

public if you buy into his business plan.

3. Locksmith Service Scam - Whin-Yates gives low quotes followed by high

charges ($95 quoted, $300 charged). He completes unnecessary work. He

dishonors appointments and agreements. He sabotages locks to create more expensive work for himself in the future. He explains how to do all this if you buy into his business plan.

He uses his locksmith license and Bachelor's degree (in criminology he

is very familiar with protecting himself) to persuade customers that he

is a good-guy. But the government does not police locksmith licenses and gives them to anyone who pays a fee. A BA does not make a man honest.

Here are links to various sites on the internet where victims of this

fraud have mentioned Terry Whin-Yates / Royce Whin-Yates scams:

Red Deer College has locksmith training for anyone interested in

learning the trade. If you nee service there are many genuine locksmiths

in the lower mainland. Do your research.

Terry Whin-Yates "Licenced Locksmith" is not afraid to lie to his customers and defraud the public.



In the first picture you see that he is removed from yelp for posting not one but 3 reviews that violate the rules of fair reviewing on Yelp, a consumer review website. The company he is reviewing terminated a partnership with him for these kind of actions. If you notice in his 3 false reviews that he first gives posts 5 stars. Then after being fired posts 2 reviews of 1 star.
