The Scam
- www.iphoneworldwide.com is currently advertising on Google Adwords - please search for 'iphone unlocking' and you'll see their sponsored PPC adverts claiming they can unlock all phones including the new iPhone 4. 0. 2 operating system
- The following page states they can also unlock iPhones on 4. 0. 2: http://www.iphoneworldwide.com/3gs/
- People pay £20 and then received access to the members' area (note the Paypal link doesn't work)!
- The members' area then contradicts their Google Adwords claim and says they can't unlock 4. 0. 2
- In some cases double payments are taken - call your credit card company immediately and ask them to open an investigation to get your money back
- There is no 'live support' on any one of their websites (please try clicking the link and it will take you to a form page)
- Various other website functions don't work, e.g. different languages and the so called 'support area' - www.iphoneworldwide.com/support
- There is no telephone number or address contact and falsely claim: 'Used by Apple Store Employees'
