This company is a fraud. They have charged me over75 dollars to unlock my phone, and wanted me to pay additional 5o dollars to completely unlock my iPhone. I have informed them about my phone being locked to the network in the Philippines. Yet, they promised they'll officially unlock it if I pay more money and their over the air service only runs once a month and when I clicked on the link they sent, it's invalid. That's how I knew I was scammed.
I purchased an unlock service from official Iphone unlock. Below is the confirmation
Order ID: 3565036
Order Status: http://www.officialiphoneunlock.co.uk/status.php
Description: iCloud Activation Lock Removal for 355736070026133
Amount: £24.99
It clearly states that I ordered an IPhone lock removal. Several days later I receive an email from the company stating that what I ordered is a pre order. Let me try and understand. I have to pay before I officially order? At McDonalds do you pay $10 before you order a Big Mac, then pay again when you order the Big Mac?
I tried to contact the company several times but phone calls never were answered. I was left with general answer machne for 15 minutes each time, and my emails where replied with generic email replies meant for mass email.
I contacted the the payment processor (which seems very weird). The Iphone company did not process their payments.
All in all, this business seems like a scam and do not provide what they offer.
I've been going back and forth with this compay for about 1 month. On two accassions they stated that my phone was unlocked, and I've mentioned to them after the first attempt that the Icloud was still active from the previous owner, but they insist that it's unlocked. I've sent them screen shots with dates, offered to provide a video, but they still insist that I have access to my phone, and have not refunded my money.
Below is wording from their website.
You will need to purchase our Activation Lock Removal Service which removes your device from the previous owner's iCloud account.
To err on the side of caution, please ensure FindMyiPhone is turned off before you order an unlock or before updating to iOS 7/8.
Apple provides a tool which tells you if your device is Activation Locked: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
Briefly

How does the unlock work?
