Simply put, they are thieves! Lots of email promises, but it has been 4 mos and no payment or device return. They stole four iPhone Air from me. I reported to: BBB, Google, Attorney General, and filed a police report. They can't hide behind their LLC for the criminal piece! :-)

I wouldn’t even give it a 1 if I actually hadn’t been foolish enough to send them my phone. They received in June, my seal was “approved” in August and have heard a word from then since. Now can’t call and texts are not returned.
By Ann S.
I shipped my phone to this company at the beginning of the year and I have yet to receive payment on my phone. The last email I got from the almost 2 months ago promising payment that I’ve yet to receive anything. I recently reported them to BBB. I wish I would have read the reviews before I shipped my phone off to them. I don’t understand how they are even still in business. I wish I would have read the reviews before I dealt with these scammers

They steal your phones and never pay. I sent two iPhone 12’s , I call , chat, send emails, they always say they will contact the manager, I never hear back, I’ve been waiting 4 months

No opportunity to award zero stars. This company took my phone and did not pay anything. I have been waiting over three months with no response. Originally customer service seemed responsive, but that stopped after a week or two. Total scam organization. Find another buyer for your device and run.

Hello if I could give zero Stars I would I sent them my phone in June was given an approval for my phone and they cut off all communication I have several text messages where they were texting back and forth and then all of a sudden just nothing I think that a bunch of us need to go in and find an attorney that can do something to the company as well as the people that own the company for fraud I am working with the police department in my hometown as well as the police department where they are located the address that is on file is bogus they do not rent that building or anything in the area do not send your phone to them do not send anything to them they are fraud and they owe me $800 for an iPhone and based on everything that I'm reading they others a lot of money as well I have snapshots of all the text messages emails and any and all correspondence having to do with my phone as well as where I sent them my phone through USPS and they had to sign for it

By a.
This company avoided paying me for two Apple Watches that they agreed to pay me for and they won’t send them back to me. They avoid my calls. This has been going on since August 17th
