MrUnlock.com is a con - be aware

I have just paid £2.95 for the simple unlock facility on the mrunlock.com site.

This was to provide an email detailing how to obtain the unlock code using IMEI and how to input the code.

The email I received basically told me I had to ring Orange for the code - and that they might charge me anyway!!

I could have done that in the first place, and instructions for unlocking when I have the code are readily available, including on this site.

I have left bad customer feedback on their site (though do not expect any reply).

Just wanted to make people aware to avoid the mrunlock site as I feel like Ive just been conned. The service I paid for was the simple unlock service so cant comment on the others - though if they work in the shady way as they did for me I would be even more hesitant of parting with even more cash for their other services.

Hope nobody else gets ripped off by these jokers.

    what a con
  • Hi again

    mrunlock.com has agreed to give me a full refund as I was not 100% satisfied. This is very good and prompt which I'm thankful for.

    I hope they make things much clearer in the future, though the product I paid for was a bit of a con. Im sure their other services are very good.

    In my opinion, it is not a good idea the recommend mrunlock.com and the other one's in the moneysaving article as they basicly charge you for free info.
