The claim to provide unlocking codes, to be able to use any service provider in your phone, but it's a SCAM. All you'll get is a lighter wallet.

I just tried getting an unlock code I entered all my credit card info after pressing the button to submit my info it took me back to a blank credit card screen that said enter all info correctly my bank account was charged for the unlock code $14.99 however I never recieved an email with the unlock code. I attempted resubmitting my info, it then said duplicate payment and took me back to another blank credit card screen my accout was charged twice still with no unlock code. I called there customer service its been busy all day. I sent emails to every email address on the site still no responses. I hope they refund me or send me that code. I will never do service with any website I cant directly contact again. SCAM

Wish I was here before and read about this scam site. Paid $22.95 AUD in order to unlock my LG mobile. After two days an unlock code was email which turned out to be FAKE. Tried to contact through support center and was asked to provide video proof. So, a video evidence sent to the seller. But even after waiting for several days, there's no answer at all from seller's side. Be aware of this fraudulent SCAM!

AdyzLegend, you must be one of the lucky ones or you work for them :P I don't know anyone who has received a code and everyone I speak to has said the same thing "they took my money and I never got a code"

Had sent a notice about order they said i have to wait to receive it. Placed me in a chat site which i think its a scam site and contacting my credit card provider forget paypal because paypal is rubbish at resloving disputes. Plus When the order was complete it took me to a thank you page which was just a banner with the words "bulletproof unlocking" i refreshed the page 4 times and thats all i got

checked the address no code just a authotist code receipt saying paypal had charged me. Wish i just waited now to get the phone unlocked at a mobile shop this week.

Aviod this website there are a joke if your like me in the u.k take your phone to a mobile phone shop or market shop and pay the 10.00 pound and get it done on the spot. Much safer, Just hope i get my credit card provider to back me up now. If they needed the 14 bucks that bad i would donated it by paypal not rip me off! Class Scamsite!

### service. Thought I finally found a decent unlocking service. Turned out to be a total scam.
I bought 2 unlock codes from them, I got an email saying they couldn't find the codes, and that I will recieve my refund soon.
Yhea I don't think so, no refund * no unlock code * ### service * and so on!

You guys, don't use service... You really will get a lighter wallet.

But if you are looking for a decent unlocking service, then use http://unlockusa.com
Used that service 4 times. 4 Times got my unlock codes and they give you detailed instructions for every different phone on how to unlock it.

Good luck!

I paid the for a code. I had several email exchanges with them. At the end I lost my $10. They delayed me long enough that it was too late for my credit card company to undo the charge.

Hey folks ...this is a total fake company ( unlocking.com) I paid and am still awaiting any help from them despite several mails.
People out here who say it worked for them are also fake ( you might have heard jobs in internet like work from home and earn big etc., they get paid for writing such reviews)
Bottom line is it did not work for me and it never worked for anyone.
14 bucks is not a big deal but I want to know if there is some place I can complain to ( BBB ? or any cyber crime org. ) and save other innocent people from shelling out their money.

Hate getting burned... ordered my code based on website stating "30 seconds to process" and when my code hadn't arrived, I then googled to find this information... great, lovely little scam they have going. If they are known to suck so bad, wondering why paypal works with them, will be contacting them.

What is up with Duwie N above, waited 3 weeks but got his code... who the hell is going to spend 3 weeks harassing them to get a code?

I have also ordered codes from them for my blackberry 8520 curve and received three codes within 2 minutes. But the codes are not working. Contaced support, no response. I have opened a case on paypal so I will see what comes out of this. Usually I check everything first but I was so stupid this time.

I lost my money too after countless e-mails they said there was problems with paypal and nothing more they could do! I have reported them to the internet crime center, I suggest you do the same thing and get these thieves closed down:

Indeed SCAM, they never send me the code, they answered my email during the first 45 days then they stopped answering. Paypal closed the claim since it's more than 45 days. I contacted visa and they were ready to take action only if I used their service and not Paypal. So If you use Paypal complain before 45 days otherwise it's over

Hi I used this site and they ripped me off. Wanted to get a blackberry unlocked and was told it was being processed. 2 weeks later still no code! I went to blackberryunlocks.co.uk and they emailed my code with 24 hours! Customer service was good although it took a while to get through. It shows there busy at least. goodbye crappy unlocks hello to my new unlocked blackberry :)

Unlocking.com has my name, and city I live in listed on their website with a phone I have never had. I have been trying to contact them for over a month now to find out what is going on. I have sent 15+ emails, and sat on live chat for 8-12 hours at a time. There is no phone number to contact them at and they really do not seem to care. If anyone has any way to contact them please let me know...this is truly causing a hardship in my relationship as it looks like I have a phone that I really do not have! Thanks

I think you may have a misunderstanding.
First, we do not accept credit card, we only accept Paypal which do not have your credit card information. We cannot charge airlines tickets or buy other stuff without your credit card information.

Second, you should make a police report with your local police so they can investigate this scam. I will co-operate with you and the police to help them catching this credit card fraud.

Feel free to contact me at UnlockUSA@gmail.com anytime.

You should post the complete chat, my unprofessional comment was respond to your profanity. Yes, I admit my fault for my part of professionalism but this does not compare to your comment.

I might have been scammed by unlockusa.Com too. Theor contact email comes up in my spam as undeliverable address. See Picture. There is no record of my order in there system. The live chat never responds. The only thing I have is my paypal transaction number. I hope that is enough to file a police report and suit against the site.

Hi Zeerih, my contact email address is sales@UnlockUSA.com. I do not see any picture from your message. If you did make an order, please forward your Paypal Transaction ID and phone IMEI number to sales@UnlockUSA.com and I will personally make sure your order is properly process or refunded (whichever you prefer). Without your Paypal Transaction ID or IMEI number information, I cannot search for your order. I have been in the unlocking business for over 10 years and would never consider scam you for one order. If this is system or server issue, I will make sure to process your order immediately and correctly.
