Verizon $130 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone got a call from verizon about $130? something about verizon.com/130
I put this in the sgs3 forum since I got the call presumably since I have a preorder for the sgs3.
Appears to be a scam since the website asks for login info. beware!

Went to the link. 404.

link works for me, but bogus obviously. They did a decent job of coping the real verizonwireless site though.

I got a similar call a few weeks ago to go to the website to claim my $80 credit. The FAKE website required username, password, and PIN. Send an email to [email protected] and give them the details.

Help! i just purchased IM+ and i didn't receive anything

I've been using the IM+ trial for a few days. I liked it so i decided to buy it tonight. I went to the shapeservices page. Then to the im+ link. Then to purchase and buy. I chose the option to pay via paypal. all it said after payment was "thank you for buying our product." it didn't give me a registration code, or a download or anything. It didn't even ask me for my email address. What the hell is going on? i sent them an email but they haven't responded yet. Has anyoen purchased v 4.22 and have any tips for anythign i might have missed. thank you.

It maybe that the Trail does not expire and you already had the 'full' version.
thanks for the idea. unfortunately thats not it. Its not "beggerware." it only lets me do 12 messages per sign in. and then it tells me i cant send anymore because its a trial version
I would assume if you paid by PayPal they already have your email, and to prevent fraud, will validate PayPal transactions *before* giving you a code or full version.
Also, not everyone uses a 24/7 e-payment system that sends codes instantly, there are many small companies and independant developers that process these manually themselves each day, so there could just be a delay.
Try emailing them quoting the email address your PayPal account is registered too.

Unlock - Finally given up and got the code from IMEI CHECK for 40.44 USD

Seems I haven't got the luck, tried the tricks found in the forum with the AT&T customer services and finally the result is no good, they rejected me for various of excuses, Account not activated for 90 days, Model of the Phone is not supported to be unlocked, the unlock team is not available at the moment, phone imei number is not bind to the account, no international service package is added to the account ....
Decided to turn to IMEI CHECK today, dumped out the file and provided the IMEI number, paypaled $40.44 USD ~( ... ) and emailed in the fax copy of my driver license(requested, no idea why need to do that) got the unlock code with in 5 minutes.
Jeez. Sorry dude.
Man I would've charged you 2 dollars and 13 cents to give you the unlock code!

That's insane!!! I paid won an ebay auction for $13.99 USD from www.cellunlock.net to have mine unlocked and received the code within 12 hours. They only needed the IMEI number of my phone...not sure why you had to pay so much and had to give them your drivers license.
dude... how is that may i ask?..

Probably just to cover themselves. There are a lot of stolen phones about. One shop over here wants photographic ID and proof of address, lol!!!
Wouldnt worry too much, have used IMEI Check in the past, good service and no problems here, although their not the cheapest on the market.....

Especially since the OP paid via Paypal. Now, they have an email address tied to a known valid paypal account and the OP's credentials (Name, address, etc.). Hopefully they won't be able to much with it. I'd still be wary though. To OP, definitely watch your paypal account for suspicious activities and other financial activities for a while. Don't want to mess with identity theft. It's a nightmare to get resolved.
EDIT: Well, silent_killa's dealings should help ease your feelings a little. Though, it wouldn't hurt just to be safe.
@KMFM$: Really well said. Dealing with paypal on most levels is frustrating and when it is about identity theft I've heard they can be really, really unfair.
He has great advice OP

stay away from fastgsm.com

I paid my $20 via paypal. Their automated system happily accepted my payment then promply complained that my (paypal verified) email had not been verified and that I should follow instructions in the email they had sent.
I never received any such email. Not in regular, junk, spamassassin folders. This is my 100% reliable email address that never loses an email. I promply filed a complaint with paypal. Next day their response was that I did not respond to the email (that I never got) so they activated it manually but I have already lost confidence and want my money back. So far they have refused to offer me a refund so I am continuing to fight it on paypal.
My advice is to stay away!
Hi,
1. we do use Google Premium (Paid) services to send out the emails. It is most reliable service in the market.
2. You can any time ask for verification via separate email.
3. We never refuse to make refund if credit not used
Your situation mostly happens when you use stolen PayPal and can not control PayPal primary email. Or maybe you are competitor who try to damage reputation - you have 2 posts only so you do not have any reputation.

when I tried to connect my phone and unlock it, I get the error
that my account does not have enough credit even though I have paid for it
already . Please help.
thats just harsh thanks for the tip ill b sure to stay away
i'll also wait for a day, if they don't reply, I'll raise a PayPal claim too.
I like the competitor trying to damage reputation assumption. Real professional.

Hello, FastGSM crew is 100% trustable. They make unique solutions on the market (many many world firsts) and for many models only they can unlock them (specially usa/canada and latin/central america models). They helped to a lot of users there to unlock their phones including me - Me personally did unlocked around 25 phones with them.

guess so.. Wah Wai Electronics or something similar is their paypal name.
To unlock your phone, call your provider customer service and say politely "I would like to have my phone unlocked. Can you please provide me the code?" and viola - you have your code in the mail in about 3-7 days. Even if you are on the contract, they will get it to you in anyway. Use google people.
PS: I unlocked my Nokia while being on the contract, on the 5th month

Yeah, it got a bit of press on the blogs. Unfortunately, the rules are very clear that you had to purchase the phone within the promo period, not before.
Missed this by like two weeks. Kind of annoyed about it.

Well thanks, you helped me! I didn't know until I saw this, and I bought one today, so cheers:highfive:
just throwing it out there. i got my g3 on 8/26 and LG extended the offer to me. just state that you feel it to be unfair to not extend this offer to an LG supporter that decided to adopt the product earlier than the offer start date.
mine's already in the mail :good:

I bought mine on launch day and did the same thing, got on LG's site and did the chat and told them it sucked I supported LG from day one and wasn't eligible for the promotion. Rep asked for my address and wouldn't say why. Just gave me a and she said nothing else about it. Asked if there was anything else I needed help with and we ended the chat

Did you have to register through the promo?live chat won't hook me up....
Went through live chat...she asked for my email and I received a Congratulations, you are eligible. They send you a spreadsheet to fill out and asked to send in iemi and proof of purchase, with filled out spreadsheet.
I also live chatted and go the hookup. How did you send in your proof of purchase? I just took a picture of the box and attached it to the email along with the spread sheet
Yeah, took picture of the box and a pic of the AT&T receipt and sent it with spreadsheet.
Pretty awesome some of you are getting it. I might do the live chat thing too and see if its my birfday.
That's good info. I was thinking that they might do something for loyal supporters. Looks like I'll chatting with lg later on today!
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
When you talk to them, really lay it on thick, i went the rout of saying I was a longtime samsung user and decided to switch to their product and i was very satisfied that I did. I also threw in "I'd really like to be a long time loyal LG user so i really hope I can get in on this promotion" I've had plenty of practice having to try and get my way with words (lookin at you AT&T)
I just spoke to a customer service rep who took all of my name, address and IEMI. She processed a request to the "Promo Department" due to them being closed on the weekend.
She told me to expect an email or call from them during normal working hours and to make sure I have my receipt with me in case they call. We'll see.

Well that was quick. I already received a response saying I was approved for the promo. As previously stated in other posts, they asked that I complete a spreadsheet and send a picture of the packaging label along with proof of purchase. The problem is they didn't attach the spreadsheet.
If anyone has the spreadsheet and can help, I'd appreciate it.
Send me a pm of your email address and I'll send it to you, for some reason i can't upload it as a reply

Does this promo work if I bought through AT&T next today? Or do you have to pay phone off or buy outright?

Samsung promo issues

Anyone having issues with the Samsung Promo?
After I registered, I got the page to buy the $99 but when I clicked on it, the page took forever to load and it failed. There is no way for me to get it back, I tried to register again and got IMEI & MAC address error being not recognized. I've been on hold with Samsung Support for the past 1 hr waiting for someone to take my call.

Got a solution. I had the same issue. Download the Shop samsung app from the play store, and you can submit through the app, make sure to e-mail yourself the receipt or something because you'll have to attach it from the app itself. It goes through!

It took me 2 hrs to get it to finally work and I ended up having to download the app. At first it kept telling me my imei number was invalid but the app fixed that I guess

Their support sucks on top of it. Wasted 2 hours, got a rep then transferred me, only for my call to drop again.
chat was no help & finally talked to a CS rep, I was told to try again later since the website is getting pounded and if i get the same error, to call in again later tonight.
PURE GENIUS.
That was able to register but it never asked me payment information for the $99 dollar bundle

Got rejected because my receipt wasn't clear enough. Resubmitted it never got a email. Called in waited just short of 2 hours talked to cs. She told me it showed approved on her end. Checked my status in the shop samsung app about 2 hours later, and it had the link to buy the $99 deal.
Never did get the approval email, but did get my order confirmation now...

When I registered my IMEI for the pre order promotion, I received an email welcoming me to Samsung Galaxy S8 that had a code for 30% off in the Samsung Store. I'm not going to use it, but I don't know if it's the same for everyone or specific to me but someone can try it if they want.
Code: 93eo8h2uo
Good luck!
