Lost a phone in Newlands, Cape Town, I tried Dotblock a few hours later and they said it was in the sea off Hermanus (a 1.5hr drive east of Cape Town). Appears as though I have been scammed!!

Absolute disgrace. I had to check the location of my phone 3 times at a price of £10 per go. The location was static and wouldn’t reveal movement so I spent 30 quid to keep track of it. The third loca... See more

This is a scam site

Don't use this site. It is just a total lie. It said my phone was in London, 150 miles away. It would have had to move there quickly as it was only missing for an hour. Random BS.

scam site/false information

I thought I'd mislaid my phone and couldn't get a ringing tone when I called it from my landline. I couldn't contact my service provider in order to block any calls by unauthorised people who may have found it. I found this site and paid £10 to find where my phone was. They showed that my phone was located at 55 Norwich Drive Brighton. BN2 4LX. 10 minutes later I found my phone on my dining table. It was on "silent". Total ripoff. SCAM.

SCAM site

I used DOT BLOCKS mobile phone tracking service to track two phones. After paying the £10 fee for 1st phone i was told that their system had found the phone and that it was on some rocks by the sea about 1.5miles from my house, i then tracked the other phone to see if that was in the same place which could mean they had both been thrown or left in the same place. After paying the £10 fee again their system told me that the phone was basically on a hedge in the middle of farmland around 5 miles from where i I live and after this i thought that it was just a load of rubbish to be honest. Shortly after using their site and getting their results i tried to call one of the mobile phones again and this time a lady answered and told me she had both my phones and when i asked her address her house was approx 2.5 miles away and in a totally different location to either of their tracking results. On checking DOT BLOCK website online through Trust Pilot it seems that i am not the only one who has experienced this and that basically it would appear that they are Scamming people out of their cash. I have asked for a full refund for my transactions but i will never hear from them i'm sure!!!!!

SCAM site, locations are totally made up....DO NOT USE THIS SITE

I have tried tried 3 x checks to trace phones fairly recently & not one has come back with any accuracy, all of them have come back to fairly local to where I am & all were expected to be between 30 to 200 miles away, i will not be using DotBlock again, it appears to be a complete scam & I would like a refund. !!!
