Stay Far Away from Phonetradr.com - Highly Questionable Practices

I strongly advise against using Phonetradr.com for phone transactions. I listed my device on their site, sent it via courier, and after they acknowledged delivery, they went completely silent. My attempts to reach them through messaging apps, phone calls, and emails were ignored, leaving me without my phone or any payment. This feels like a deliberate loss of property.

Be cautious of their recent 5-star reviews on sites like Hellopeter. Many of these glowing comments come from accounts created in the past few months, often with no other activity, raising red flags about their authenticity. In 2025, numerous users have shared similar stories: devices sent, no funds received, and zero follow-up, with some waiting over half a year. Online discussions highlight issues like non-delivery, defective products, and unaddressed refund requests, pointing to a troubling pattern.

Protect your assets—avoid Phonetradr.com entirely. I’ve reported this to the South African Police Service, SAFPS, and the National Consumer Commission, and I encourage others to dig into reviews carefully and choose safer alternatives.
