HTC Sim Unlock Scam Experience of my Friend

Posted by Boffill Monday, September 26, 2011
Here's another scam alert that my friend online discovered. Actually, he discovered it because he was the victim of the scam. My friend received his HTC Mytouch 4G as a "pasalubong" from his parents who just arrived from abroad. Since the phone was locked to T-mobile, he want it  unlocked so he can use Philippine networks on it. He was online and found out www.htcsimunlock.com and was very happy about their cheap offer in unlocking the phone. At first, you will actually think that they are legit because of the design of their website. They website's layout was professionally designed. They even have testimonials that can help their visitors decide to buy their product. My friend, who's very desperate to use his brand new phone decided to grab the offer of HTCSimUnlock. Grabbed his credit card and paid them. He was so at ease using his credit card because he thought that this website is legit and yes, they have 100% money back guarantee. After paying for the product, he waited because it says there on their website that it has instant delivery. He waited for minutes, minutes became hours, hours became day and day became 3 days until he realized that he was scammed. He was scammed by HTCSimUnlock. Tried to contact them but none of them tried to get hold of my friend. When he tried to research about the company, he found out that he's not alone in this whole wide world. There's a lot of them who have been scammed by HTCSimUnlock. What's worse is that my friend's credit card was believed to be hacked by the people behind HTCSimUnlock. I advised my friend to contact Better Business Bureau and report the incident to them. Told my friend that next time he'll be purchasing something online, he should research about the website first and check if it's a scam or its legit.
