Oh my Lord, someone brought in a bump key to dup

Yesterday was another first: Someone came into our shop with a 'bump key' and actually asked us to duplicate it. She said ":this a bump key, will you duplicate it?"
When we told her no she said she was a locksmith, like so what!

For my peace of mind I have to believe this could have been a sting because if not we have a potential crime waiting to happen.

I thought we should have gotten her drivers license and name but I was outvoted by my staff who opted for safety.

What would you have done?

RIP OFF ALERT-FLAM'S IS NEW VICTIM OF SCAM

PLEASE BE AWARE! ANOTHER LOCKSMITH HAS HACKED INTO GOOGLE MAPS AND CHANGED FLAM'S TELEPHONE NUMBER TO HIS. IF YOU SEE A NUMBER STARTING WITH 232---IT IS NOT FLAM'S.
OUR NUMBER IS 818-789-5024.
AS OF 8-6-2011 GOOGLE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO OUR EFFORTS TO REPORT IT OR CHANGE IT.

DO NOT GET TELEPHONE NUMBERS FROM THE GOOGLE MAP ICON.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SCAMMERS-STEALING OUR BUSINESS AND LORD KNOWS ABOUT OUR REPUTATION.

THANKS,
JACK AND VIKKI FLAM
