I dropped my phone during my B-day, broke it so bad I couldn't use it properly without cutting my…read morefingers, got no photos of my B-day party thank God hahahah OuiOui. Anyway, as we were leaving Disney Works I wanted to see what was happening on my phone so as we randomly passed a phone repair shop we stopped to get the screen fixed. Mr. "Ray" in the pink shirt, (photo posted) seemed like a jolly fine fellow & said he could fix it in a hour, but his computer was down, so I would have to pay cash. (Should have seen that as a red flag) No worries, I said, I went across the street to Fanny about while I waited. I came back he said he fixed it but I needed a new battery, and that was going to cost $30 more. I said ok. Didn't think anything of it. He gave me my phone said it was dead but I could charge it in the car. I paid & he quickly gave me some Cash change ask me to give him 5 stars on google, which I did, and I left. When I got in the car the phone wouldn't charge & he shorted me $30 in change. I went back inside told him he shorted me $30 and it wouldn't charge. It kept dying. He said he would change the battery again. And he did acknowledge that he made a mistake & didn't give me the correct change back. He gave me $30 more in Cash. My husband was now standing there beside me & ask him if he could fix his backup phone screen for $120 also. He said yes, and he fixed Sir Hubbers backup phone also, which is working fine. He told us he switched the battery out again for another "after market battery" which the phone was telling us that it didn't recognize the battery it wasn't a Apple battery so we thought that was why it wasn't charging right. We thought we just had to get home to charge it with the apple charger so we left. Long story short, while we were there some strange dude kept coming in & out waiting for us to leave, it all seemed odd and looking back on it; we think it was his drug dealer. I mean, he wanted cash, he couldn't do simple math, he acted very strange etc., So, on the drive back to St Pete we stopped in SH for a boba, but they were closed. There was a phone place next door that was open & these phone people told us it couldn't be fixed! (That reviews coming) When I got back to St Pete, I looked for a reputable place, anyone with an IQ above "Ray's" age double cubed square & found "Phone repair and more" which has the largest Phone Repair chain in the Tampa area. Long Story short, I met Mr. Mohamed there & he said he would take a look at it. When I came back he was very serious in his tone & told me who ever tried to "fix" the battery broke the connectors by being too forceful. They did NOT even replace the battery, it was still the original Apple battery & it was leaking (see photos) He pointed out the crack in the battery (see photos) ask me to smell it. It smelled of fuel, as it was leaking. He said he would NEVER let anyone leave his shop with a battery like that as it was so dangerous it could explode any moment, it could have killed me, burnt my house down, burned me in my car etc., Mr. Mohamed is replacing the battery connectors & battery. It should be fixed in a week. I thanked him for saving my life. To Mr. Ray: "You broke my phone, lied to me, you scammed me for cash, you did NOT replace my battery with a after market battery, it still has the original Apple batter that is leaking! It could have cost me my life, the people I love around me or God forbid even more unsuspecting innocent lives. Mr. Ray, you are a danger to society. Lawyer up." DO NOT RECOMMEND!
