well it could be a scam/email harvesting operation but then again, which could you make more money with - a website to unlock iphones or a website harvesting emails. maybe it is a scam but there's a lot of money to be made with unlocked iphones.
red flag: iphoneunlocking claims to have received over 130,000 requests to unlock phones. now, with 500,000 sold that would be one out of 4 - and that i do not believe for a second. most people are sheep and will just take what is given to them, and half of them don't even know what a SIM card is, so 130K is an impossible number.
Nikster - I can believe 130k (personally I don't, but whateva) simply because I bet the majority of the people "interested in help unlocking" don't even have iphones--but are still interested in unlocking.
There is something awfully fishy about that site though. Paying users $100 to monitor the activation traffic? Immediate and constant reports of progress with no real setbacks? I'll be happy if it's real, but until it's proven to be so, I'm with you on the skepticism.

Dunno, it looks legit to me. Pretty sweet if it's true that they manage to unlock 75% of iPhones :-)
