Old Phone Credit

Options
Hi all, I have recently bought a new phone on contract. My old phone with 02 had £25 credit left on which I was told I would lose when my number got transfered across. I did a quick google search and found this company:

Http:// sell mobile credit.com/ (wouldn't let me post it as a link but its as above minus the spaces )

They claim to buy back credit, all be it at half the value but half was better than nothing so decided to sell it back. credit went instantly via sms msg and now over a month later, no money in my paypal account and I get no reply when contacting them!!?

Anything I can do?

Thanks for looking

Steve :)

    Uh oh... They took the credit my SMS ?

    Dont mean to be the bearer of bad news, but i wouldn't count on seeing any of your money ever going into your paypal.

    Did you do any research on the company.
  • Did think that might be the case! googled around and there are a few out there, all very much the same. Had no reason to think it would be dodgy! I only had 24 hours to sort it out as my number was being transfered and it would be lost anyways so gave it a go.

    Guess I won't be seeing any money back any time soon but is there anywhere can report the site to get is shut down?

    Cheers
