£20 upfront, £10 per month, 18 month contract, unlimited calls texts, 10GB data, mobile unlocked to all networks.
This sounds too good to be true.
The website is fonehouse.co.uk but the offer above is not available on there website but only if you ring them. I asked the lady to email me the iPhone X offer details, she did and the email domain is fone-house.co.uk.
Scam or legit?

That URL returns:

PLEASE CHECK BACK AGAIN SOON

If something's too good to be true, if often is!
£300 for an iPhone X over the lifetime of the minimum term? Granted it's not a 'new' model but Argos are asking £899.99 for the 64GB variant.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0 -

What you have typed is the end of the email address the company uses so example@fone-house.co.uk0 -
My bad assuming the email domain was the same as their website, strange setup as just about every company would have a single domain.0

PLEASE READ:
I have just spoken to the real fone house by using the number on there website and they have told me that someone is pretending to be them and to report everything to ACTION FRAUD.
The email I received from the fake fone house has genuine company house number for the real fone house. I have posted the fake email I received from the fake fone house below so others are warned about this scam.
