ok so i purchased an unlocked code from si1ence after he kindly referred me to his websites which is www.Theunlock.ca , www.worldgsmcodes.com , www.GsmCodes.org
told me is was a 1 to 3 day turnaround. this was ordered on the 15th of January.
after the 3rd day i called him @ 6475477676 and text @ 6477079725 and emailed him @ theunlocks@gmail.com
he replies a day later via text saying apologizing for the delay stating it will be done in another 2 days!
so i wait 2 more days i call again he says he will check on this and call me back. NO CALL BACK.
i call the next day again... he says to email the imei and and phone model which I ALREADY DID and says someone will reply soon. NO ONE REPLIED!
so i call in again and then start bitching at the lady who picks up. she asks for the imei and phone model then says please hold and guess what??
i get the same dude and this time he says. yeah the service is down now?!?!?! wtf why didn't you do this order when it was up i ask?
he then apologizes AGAIN and says it should arrive in 2 more days and says if nothing comes in 2 days he will gladly refund me.
ok so i wait 2 more days. still nothing!! so i call again and this time all i want is my money back not some ******* credits and i make it very clear that
i want my paypal money back he then says ok i'll process your refund it will be done in 2 hours ok??!?!? 2 hours go by NO REFUND! the dude was
just trying to get me off the phone. so i text him warning him if he doesn't give me back my refund within the day i would be posting here on hofo and bbb.
got no reply so now i am here. i also shot him off a few emails in between calls which i will post as well.

after 2 weeks and 1 day several calls and sms messages and emails. this user is lying and cheating under shady business practices. STAY AWAY.
si1ence i warned you. you either give me my money back or next step is bbb and hofo and i will put links to this thread.
this is also the same company as http://sntradersonline.com/. they are both using the same address.

hahaha looks like i finally got the bastards attention to give me my money back..
i will still keep this thread open as a lesson and warning to other rfd'ers out there.
si1ence has still not contacted me and looks like he processed this refund only after
seeing my threats come to fruition.

not good enuff man. it doesn't take 2 weeks for this to happen. it also does not take 4 days for something you said would be done in 2 hours. it also does not take 2 hours to refund something on paypal that takes less then 2 minutes.
you should of refunded me the first time i asked instead of giving me the run around.
do you know how pissed i am? would you like me to lie to you and give you false information and promises for 2 weeks?
are you going to make things right with the other rfd member that your company sold a used phone as new to here?

i sent you a pm and i know you read it. i meant every word in there.

so get this. apparently si1ence says he has not ties to the mentioned companies and sntraders even though he clearly uses the same billing address and has the exact same business number?
yeah nice try buddy. we are not that stupid. you know what i think? i think your trying to find a way around the rfd sponsor member fees and rules. i also think your company setup theunlock.ca since hofo and rfd no longer allow unlock services to be listed and sold on both sites. i also think this company and website was made so you can pair both companies in ads like you do on hofo.
i really don't care what others experiences are like with you. i can't speak on that. but i can speak on how you are giving the run around with me and how your company is avoiding and giving the run around with the other rfd member khara.
i also think you may not have permission from your superiors to use their address and phone numbers for business use and only now people are starting to connect the dots so this makes you iffy.
either way the info is posted the lines have been drawn and the dots are now connected. you can continue to send me pm's i really don't care but i'll let you know now i will end up posting them here for others to read more of your lies.
stop trying to dig yourself out of the hole your digging and just apologize and fix the issues at hand with me and the other user.

Looks like this is not a scam, but poor business practice and lack of communication. Buyer is entitle to leave an appropriate feedback if transaction was initially made thru RFD.

indeed it was via pm.
the seller has a habit of hovering the cellphone forum just waiting for people looking for unlock and cellphone needs and then magically pm's them or forwards them to the mentioned sites.
if it's an unlock he'll pm in private which is what he did with me and others.
if you are looking for a cellphone he'll pm and direct you to sntraders.
he will act like he has no relation to sntraders as well as he just stated in my last pm from him even though they clearly share the same business info.
i will leave him feedback as you advise. but i also think you should take a look at the other user who is having similar issues with this establishment here.

dispute resolution does not protect the buyer from services and virtual goods.

FYI#2
it should not have to get to that for something you garanteed me within 3 days.

FYI#3
i ordered on the 15th. it should of been done by the 18th. even with your server being down and you asking for 2 more days i should have had my code or refund by the 20th.

FYI#4
i would still leave you feedback on rfd for others to see as paypal does not share experiences with others.

FYI#5
your still a liar who gives customers the run around.

'si1ence' was warned back in March of last year by moderator 'nsx' to not post in the RFD BST and told that dealers, resellers etc such as himself can become sponsored posters or advertisers. [post link (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/bnib-nokia-x6-16gb-nam-1-year-warranty-449-a-862878/#post10436272)]. Not being one, and PM'ing posters to his service is not permitted, is it?

Btw I'm not 100% certain that 'si1ence' is the owner of 'SNtraders' (named Naveed), but it seems quite possible he's an employee.

so, were you able to unlock your phone?
if you have the galaxy s, there's a free method, that is done via an app. a couple of clicks, and you're unlocked.
did it on my captivate a couple of weeks ago.

yeah i know the free method however on 2.2 they encrypt files on the phone rendering that method useless.

sorry to resurrect this old thread. However, i found this thread after google this address:

1325 Eglinton Ave E, Unit 213

Canada

This address is linked to this website: www.canadagsm.ca

I'm wondering is it a safe and reliable site? But from reading this thread, it seems like a scam?

Shady site is shady. Their online store does not tie directly in to PayPal. You have to initiate a PayPal transaction manually and tell them what phone it's for.
