Scammers have started targeting iOS 7 users with a new scam through which they claim to be in possession of an iOS 7 jailbreak including the one for latest iOS 7.0.4 for nearly $50.
Scammers have started sending out articles to media outlets with titles such as “Speedy iPhone 5 Jailbreak Download for iOS 7.0.4 Released” and “iJailbreakpro Rolls Out Speedier Version of Jailbreak for iOS 7, 7.0.3.” Reading through the content of the press release gives up clues that the team behind this jailbreak is effectively trying to fool gullible users into paying for a jailbreak that doesn’t even exist.
We were contacted by one of the representatives from iJailbreakpro for publication of a press release sometime in the middle of November, but after due investigation we rejected their proposal.
“The iJBP iPhone Jailbreak allows for iPhone models of the latest iOS 7 and iOS 7.0.3 to break free from Apple restrictions. With the enhanced Jailbreak software, two-thirds of iPhone owners who have upgraded to the latest iOS can enjoy their mobile device to the fullest”, read a paragraph in the press release they asked us to publish at the time.
They even claimed that they have a jailbreak for the recently released iPhone 5S. “Superior to the rest, the software provides for untethered iOS 7, 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 jailbreak on all iPhone models including iPhone 5, 4s, 4, 5S and 3Gs, while also effectively unlocking all firmwares including the first two generations of Apple TV”, read the press release.
Visiting their website the pricing page shows up different pricing plans with the most expensive one priced at $49.90 promising instant access, full jailbreak, full software unlock, among other things. However, a footnote on the website reads, “Current jailbreak available for iOS 6.1.3 on iPhone 4, 3gs, and 3g and 6.1.2 on iPhone 5 and 4s” and “Software unlock available for iPhone 3gs and 3g”.
This means that the scammers are indeed asking users for money for a jailbreak that doesn’t exist for the fact that evad3rs is the only group of jailbreakers actively working on an iOS 7 jailbreak.
We would recommend our readers to tread carefully when they come across services demanding payments for a jailbreak for iOS 7. We are not going to link to the service as it is doesn’t seem legit.
You mentioned about 7.0.4. It’s not really worth upgrading to it if you don’t have issues with 7.0.3: http://www.iosappsandhacks.com/ios-7-0-4-is-it-worth-upgrading
what about the next generation i.e. ios 7.1 untethered jailbreak is there any update about this
but when is the ios 7 jailbreak coming out
The article is not correct, the ijailbreakpro is not offering jailbreak for ios 7, there is only mentioned on their homepage upt to 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 as quoted above. This page is misguiding the users.
There is no reason to pay for 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 jailbreak. They are free and should be free. This page is INFORMING users not to fall for scams.
ijailbreakpro is a SCAM , In the press release they say that they can jailbreak ios 7 and after i buy it’s REDSN0W
but it is not mentioned on their webpage!!!
THEY ARE SCAMMERS, I HAVE CONTACTED MY LAWYER AND I THINK I CAN GET GOOD $ OUT FROM THIS

Their top recommendation:
http://ijailbreakpro.com/
I could tell this was fake when the site said on the lowest package that free wallpapers and things were not included, if you have ever had a jailbroken device, you know cydia offers all that.
Again I believe people can jailbreak even using ijailbreakpro as well because they are not claiming any jailbreak for ios 7.0.4 check this http://jailbreakjailbreak.com/
