Dangerous scammers

Very Bad... they also harassed me!

Longtime ago I placed my order on this website, it's took some days to tell me that my phone was not eligible for normal unlocking that I need a premium service... for that I will pay £89.99, but I paid £28.99 before.
Be careful they are really dangerous and too smart!
So they send me to much promotional emails that I have to take the chance off their 1 month premium service promotional...
I replied that I don't have money for premium service that cost £89,99 after that I gave £28.99
So they sent me another promotional emails 2 days after that I have to take that opportunity, I have to pay £55,99 only for me!
I said no... and I started to doubt in this company... so I went on internet made some search on this company, my doubts was confirmed they are officially scammers and too smart.
So I asked to refund me, they said no, that I will need to prove that the phone isn't stolen or lost, as the same thing apple asked officially to unlock your iPhone for free! With help assistance...
But they company said that if I have another iPhone that is iCloud clean they will do it.
I said okay, we took another iPhone without any problems, icloud clean of my friend and we sent them. After some days they lunched it, so we started to track the progress of the process... after 3 weeks the time frame ended yesterday 01/11/2022 and the iphone iCloud is still on... the process is blocked on "IMMINENT" unlocking... when I read the old reviews on trustpilot I saw the same case described by one of this company victims. That is phone stayed on "IMMINENT" unlocking... until now still on "IMMINENT" UNLOCKING.

The first time I wrote my review on trustpilot about this company, they tracked me, insulted and harassed me everywhere that... I should know that life no easy in India, that they are poor... so they tried them best to create themselves company that can help them.
They treated me to everything bad, hacked my computer and mobile, wifi...
We are all poor, we are all doing our best to have a better life, but not on a grave of others! You can't imagined how manies victims they did.
They call it business...
Be careful...
Imeiunlocksim company, we try them service, sometimes they unlock your phone, if not, the refund all your money without any problems, they don't answer to customers emails... that's their big problem! If not they are best! They unlock your phone, if they can't they refund all your money back!

Be careful with appleiphoneunlock.uk

It is a SCAM. You purchase an iCloud Unlock, but what you get is a 'guide' with exactly the same information you can find on the Apple Support website.

A real SCAM company, they ask for money for a service, then they ask for much more to complete it. This policy is not clear from the begin, otherwise I wouldn't have bought this fake service, I just wasted my time and money, I requested a refund but they never reply to me, just automatic responses. I opened a claim through worldpay hoping they would give me back the money they stole from me. Never again with these subjects!

is a scam, never got the service I paid

This is a complete scam. First, they said they can definitely unlock the phone for 39 EUR, then I hear back - it's more complicated and we need 29EUR more - then finally the close for 190EUR. I got scammed for the first two steps. Don't give them a damn penny or farthing or dracma.

They asked me money every time. I paid, £35, £23.99, £49.99. Then they give me time frame of 90 days to unlock. Now its more than 100 days, no response. Sent mails but no response to any mail. I realised that I was scammed. Lost my money to them.

Don't use this site.

They promise unlock for GBP 19.99 but the only thing you get is a referral to Apple Customer Service. Well I didn't need to pay 20 pounds for that did I? Then they ask for another 42 pounds for "premium service" - at that point I started reading their reviews which i should have done earlier.

Even if you pay the extra bucks you will get nothing in return, they will just tell you your device has been reported as "lost" or stolen. Avoid these scammers! You won't get your money back, only useless vouchers.

I can finally admit to being scammed out of my money by appleiphoneunlock.uk

It's been almost 2 months and after allowing myself to be strung along for weeks, I started requesting a refund and they stopped responding. Stay far, stay clear and don't fall victim to these phone unlock scammers.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid!

These people robbed me of over $85 and they couldn't unlock my iPhone and instead of reimbursing back my money to original payment they gave me what they call a credit note for way leas of what I paid. Word of advice do not do business or waste your money with these people.

They will claim your phone is icloud locked due to stolen. They will refuse refund and will ask for 3X the original amount. Normally, a scam can be resolved by dispute but in this case Bank of America took their side as they provide a bunch of official looking information that is totally manufactured. I provided BOA with all sorts of information but BOA would not support. BOA sucks too.

Dont use this company they are crooks

What exactly is the pre-order thing asking money USD 29.97 and another final payment, nearly USD 39.00, for unlocking your mobile network? They are playing a game with words, FROM USD 29.97, who will buy an item not knowing the total spent on it. If you are looking for a sincere phone/mobile network unlocking site, I strongly suggest you to search online for the reputation of the website first. Is it not easy to tell the customer the total amount of money to pay at the first place? If it is not a scam, then what else is?

Tip for consumers:
Search the reputation of the websites FIRST!! If there is any ambiguity about the price, do not click next step!!

Promise to unlock for USD 28 but after payment the only thing you get is a referral to Apple Customer Service. Well I didn't need to pay 28 dollar for that did I? Then they ask for another 32 USD for "premium service". Avoid these scammers! You won't get your money back.

It is a SCAM. You purchase an iCloud Unlock, but what you get is a 'guide' with exactly the same information you can find on the Apple Support website. They will ask you for more money to unlock your device, and I honestly doubt that they can unlock a device.

I don't care about the $30 I just lost, but my legal team just started legal actions to shut down this company. It infringes almost every advertising law in Europe and the UE. I will create a group for all the please affected, so we all can get our money back.

Tip for consumers:
Please do NOT purchase anything from here!

This is a big scam, waste of time and money, first they ask you to pay a fee for unlocking your device after the payment they send you email that your unlock is ready just make another payment, after that you get a message that unlock is not possible they offer 2 options: 1. Get a voucher to use or give it to your friends or familey (so they can scam them to) or 2. You can use the premium service obviousley you have to pay extra fee and it takes 30 day's to unlock your device so avoid this broke $#*! scam company at al time

I requested the unlocking of an apple watch 6 months ago, order number FHLSH3GQHDX7. Of course I had to pay once 19.99, then once 30, and one last time 49.99. Each time they are certain that they will unlock it, I should have stopped from the start, but I had started to pay and they said that they were not refunding... In short, my watch is not not unlocked, I have no news, run away from this site at all costs.

Tip for consumers:
They are lying on their website about the reviews, people with the same experience than mine can be found on different forum where they bought an unlock and they never get it or even get their money back.

This is a scam! Stay away. They will sell you a service and then immediately tell you that you must pay more to actually get the service. Then, a few days later they will tell you they cannot help you because your device is stolen or lost... which it isn't. Instead of a refund, they will give you a voucher to use on their site, which is obviously useless. Stay away! Research them. This is how their scam works. Any positive reviews are clearly fake!

Tip for consumers:
Stay away. They are a total scam web site. They do not actually offer any services, they just steal your money!!!!!

In first place, they ask for 19£, second wave they ask again for 39£. After 3 days they emailed me, to pay another 49£, otherwise my order cannot be completed. It's been 1.8 years from all the payments, and until now ( 30.06.2021) they even don't respond to my emails. I have all the emails, And screen shots
