Was quoted £20 to unlock my phone at https://www.officialsimunlock.com/ and now being asked to pay an extra £39.99. Lesson learned is to check trustpilot first before trying new services online.

I agree the website is designed to trap people but the wording is all there, in the price list and the small print when you make the first payment so they can "get away with it" but it is far from a customer oriented user experience.
They clearly prey on people who are desperate because legitimate phone owners can just contact their network provider for a free unlock - if you need to use one of these sites then your ownership of the phone could be doubtful.
