Why is there so many scams for untethered jailbreaks.

[codysanborn]

Every YouTube video is a scam on untethereds and people take the time out of there life to make a website that doesn't do anything? Why?
So aggravating.
End rant

Why? Because people are genetically scammers. Lol. Money is at the root of all evil so when there is money to be made people clinch onto their natural instincts and scam weaker individuals

They make a lot of money selling fake tools or stealing other peoples work

You just have to remember that jailbreaks NEVER cost money, however donations are always welcome from the Dev Teams. I personally had always donate after a jailbreak is release just to help the guys but is not necessary.

I do the same thing ifrog, throwing a little paper to them just shows that we are very grateful for what they do.

posixninja only does it for donations... but its good to give a little something back after all their countless hours of hard work to provide us with free tools..

 

[codysanborn]

Exactly! But these sites ppl are making are AWFUL! Doesn't even look legit

Doesn't need to look legit. "A sucker is born every minute." The people paying $30 for jailbreaks and unlocks are the same people that wire money to those Nigerian scam people. Also, it should be noted that the iPhone-Dev team does not, has never and will never even accept as much as a donation for their work. They do it simply because it's what they love to do, not to get rich.
