As I have discovered on various websites, including this one, I'm not the only one who is having a problem with this company. I'm embarrassed to say that it's not my first time doing business with them either. 


Back in 2008, I sent my iPhone into CellForCash.com after seeing them on the Today Show. They received my phone, verified it, but didn't send me a check. After email customer support multiple times, I finally got a response back saying that "Accounting is working on this problem... They are aware your payment was missed... It should be cleared up in the next week". I thanked the CS rep for getting back to me and considered the matter resolved. The check ended up coming 3 weeks later. I was happy with the resolution. 

So.... I decided to try them out again in January of this year. I sent them my phone and according to their website they received it on 1/13/2010 and verified it on 1/19/2010. They still have not cut me a check nor have they responded to any of the emails I've sent them. Their user agreement says 45 days after verification and it's now 70 days and counting. 

I've read of lot of reports on this website and others. I've also seen a number of responses by a Mr. Mike Mosieur. I hope that I do get a response as a result of me posting this report and we can reach a resolution, but I am sad that it has to come to this to get quality customer service. 

I will keep everyone posted as to the outcome of my situation. If I don't hear from the company via email or on this site, my next step is to file reports at other agencies (Florida State Attorney General, IC3.gov, bbb.org, and www.usps.gov) so other people don't have to go through the hassle that we, currently dealing with.

Received Check

AUTHOR: rvandersteen - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Yesterday I received a check from this company for full payment per the contracted price. I'm very pleased to finally have this resolved. However, I'm very disappointed that I had to file a complaint with the BBB for this to happen. 


I understand that companies make mistakes from time to time, but this company has a terrible track record. I would strongly advise anybody thinking of doing business with this company to refrain from doing so, based upon the experiences that I've had.

Received correspondence from the BBB

AUTHOR: rvandersteen - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, April 09, 2010

In addition to filing my initial report here on ripoffreport.com, I also took the time to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in Ocala, FL - And boy am I glad I did!


I received an email today from someone at the BBB with a PDF attachment. The attachment is the last page of a form that was filled out by Mike Mosieur, President at RMS Communications. He hand wrote in the following response:

"[My Name] was issued a check on 4/8/10 in the amount of $175, the check number is 27XX. The customer's ISP must be sending emails to their Junk/Spam folder as is a common issue with gmail. The payment was delayed due to an error which has been corrected."

First of all, I'm happy to have ANY correspondence with this company - even if it is through the BBB. I'm not sure what to make of his rational though.... "The customer's ISP must be sending emails to their Junk/Spam folder as is a common issue with gmail"... WTF?! So he's saying that ATT Uverse, my ISP, is sending me emails that are going into my junk/spam folder?! It's true, ATT does send a lot of SPAM, usually via snail mail though :). I'm pretty sure that he means to say that the emails that his company is sending me are going to my junk/spam folder, and that is commonplace with Gmail. If this is his rational, then I respectfully disagree... I've gotten emails from his company in the past that didn't get flagged as spam, and I've searched my spam folder, which I regularly chech, and not a single email from their company. Gmail also has one of the best spam filters out there. Next issue.

The real problem is why was the payment delayed? What was the error? This is the second time I've been given that as an excuse. The first time when I was naive enough to send my phone off, I got the same delayed response from customer service back then too. 

I am pleased that it seems I've finally been able to reach someone at the company and my issues is on its way to becoming resolved. I still won't be happy until I cash that check and it clears, completely. I also still haven't had any of the emails that I sent to customer returned. I will post another update if/when the check actually arrives.
