		<description>I have purchased unlocking program from www.easy-iphone-unlocking.com. The website claims that it can unlock iPhone 3gs firmware4.0. I paid about $42 a week ago, but the program couldn&#039;t run at all. I&#039;ve tried to contact the customer service of the website, but they were helpless. I would like to inform other people as many as possible, so they won&#039;t lose money for nothing.</description>

		<description>iphoneunlocking.com happened to me in a state of panic when I upgraded my 3GS to 3.1.2 to find out it wasn&#039;t working anymore last Sunday night. Desperate to get it working again I bought from the aforementioned web site only to find a collection of freely avaialable old stuff, not working for the 3GS, no real application and no repsonse to (support) requests what so ever.

I paid through Paypal who still DO accept payments to them and immediately (automatically) denied my claim for refund. I have reported them to the IC3 (www.ic3.gov), suggest others do the same. I will continue to report them as frauduleus with every authority I can think of. It&#039;s really to sad for words to see that they are still operating despite all these negative reports that can be found if you just google them.

&lt;b&gt;Yes what is sad is that people think paypal offers them some kind of protection - they DONT they just pretend to and fluff it up in some fancy way calling it &quot;Buyer Protection&quot; which actually only covers delivery of things, not whether the things work or not or even if they are fit for purpose!!! I once ordered an iPhone from a website and they sent me an empty box full of stones - seriously. I contacted paypal who said because it was delivered that was all they cover for, non-delivery of goods. Unbelievable. Paypal are on the side of the scammers, always have been, always will be.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>SOMETHING WHICH NEEDED TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS MY STORE LIMITED SCAMS !!!.

I have been buying various products online for a long time, but I never came across any deceptive marketer or seller, this is my first occurance  with MY STORE LIMITED,  also with provocation , used former buyer/customer from Pakistan without  any truth and nor written paper evidence ( use  deceptive tactics ! ).

Here my case with  MY STORE LIMITED :

Regulation of law of Indonesia permit a person  to buy only 1 unit Iphone  from overseas, also I told them this regulation of law of Indonesia, before placing my order to MY STORE  LIMITED and they agreed &amp; no problem that I could order for only 1 ( ONE ) unit Iphone 3GS – 32GB.
So, on Thursday, Sept., 3rd., 2009, I sent  my money ( £234 GBP = $380.00USD) through WESTEN UNION transfer and MY STORE LIMITED confirmed and  received  my money at the same day.

Suddenly they told and forced me that I have to send more money to them for 2 units more +  get 1 unit free,  I  refused to send more money  to MY STORE LIMITED, because I don’t want to against and impinge my own country law,  and then they surely not to send my order as well as do not return my money  though by cancelling my order.  Up to now they are intimidating me to send  more money to MY STORE LIMITED.

Here the complete informations :

                             SURABAYA  60141  -  INDONESIA

Note :
I reported my case for the third times by email to Inspector Sue Sandeson, Chief Police Officer in Ilkley City, United Kingdom and the reponds quite surprise me, from help desk person with name  Michelle that my case : is a civil matter and is not normally dealt with by the Police. However, we will ask an officer to call round to the company to investigate on your behalf. In the meantime. Up to now there is no conformation at all. Any suggestion what should I do to !.


&lt;b&gt;Hi Bing - well first lesson in online purchasing - DO NOT EVER PURCHASE ANYTHING USING WESTERN UNION as you have NO recourse to get your money back.

Secondly, if something is too good to be true then it is - £234 for an iPhone 3GS? They retail for £550 over here. I dont think there is much you can do as the police are correct, this is a civil matter not a criminal one, they have simply breached their contract for not supplying goods to you. All I can suggest is filing the matter with the small claims court - google for this onine.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi all,

I bought the software from &quot;http://easyiphoneunlocking.com&quot;. They are not responding to my query even after putting in all the details. I have spent 34 USD on the software.

I would not recommend buying from them at all.

Thanks
Amit</description>

		<description>I have also been scammed by iphoneunlocking.com. Today I put in a dispute claim through PayPal, which was shut down and closed from start to finish in 10mins!!

I called them today after finding out about this website from other frustrated customers from the comments above. I asked PayPal why they shut the claim without a refund. They stated that because it was done outside Ebay (buyer protection) and that it was an electronic transaction, there was no proof of what had happened. I told them that the company was a scam using SWREG, Inc. and they were operating under a few websites. I also said to PayPal, what were they going to do about it - not a lot it seems, but one thing they did say was that, if they got numerous complains, under ten! Then they would look into them and closed down the trading capabilities with PayPal and also suspend other website PayPal accounts connected to them.

What PayPal said - 

You have chosen to escalate your dispute to a PayPal claim. By ending
communication with the seller, you are asking PayPal to investigate the
case and decide the outcome. As part of our investigation, PayPal reviewed
any communication you may have had in the Resolution Centre.

Our investigation into the following transaction is complete. As stated in
our User Agreement, the claims process only applies to the delivery of
goods. It does not apply to complaints about the attributes or quality of
goods received. Therefore, we are unable to reverse this transaction or
issue a refund. 


So, if you have been scammed and used PayPal, you must file a claim against these scumbags, and not do what I nearly did, thinking &#039;what the hell, it&#039;s only £30&#039; no, you must do this as it&#039;s the only way.

Cheers

		<description>I felt bad by made a purchase on http://www.iphoneunlocking.com/ without reading these comments.  Lost $33.49, Paypal doesn&#039;t accept my dispute and haven&#039;t heard from SWREG (Digital River?).  I&#039;m going to start the dispute process with my Credit Card company.

I bought a new iPhone 3G from Apple store in US last Monday (that&#039;s before 3Gs started selling and OS3.0 available) and intended to use it in China. Can anyone help?  I don&#039;t know which site I can trust anymore.

&lt;b&gt;Chen - just use our site to unlock your iPhone 3G. Price is £29.99&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>i got scammed!!! :( by this site http://www.iphoneunlocking.org.uk/
sad thing is it said it can also unlock the newer version of firmware then after u bought it u only get the instructions and so for 2.2 ver
shame and its my first time zzz lost £23.63 Is there no way to get our money back?

&lt;b&gt;iphoneunlocking.org.uk, iphone.unlock.no and iphoneunlocking.com are all the same website and use swreg. To get your money back from them simply use this link: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.swreg.org/cgi-bin/msgwizard.cgi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.swreg.org/cgi-bin/msgwizard.cgi&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;For other sites, if you paid by credit card - YES! If you paid via Paypal - NO. Paypal is a scammers best friend, as their dispute process only refers to whether you received the goods, not what the goods are or whether they work or not! So I could sell you a car on paypal, deliver you a rollerblade, and the dispute would be in my favour. Crazy!! Anyone selling by Paypal alone steer well clear.&lt;/b&gt;</description>
