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!!

What a total load of poop

What a total load of poop. Paid to get location for my 7 year old son's phone, just had to pick my rich bosses back door to pin point. For me to find it myself at home and now deal with backlash from my now ex boss

Utter disgrace of a site

Utter disgrace of a site. Praying on people who are desperate and probably clutching at straws to find their phone. £6 to tell me my wife's phone was in a forest miles away from where it actually was. Google should be ashamed to let this site come top on their search.
