Dear Xiaomi Community Members,
We have received multiple reports about accounts spamming private messages and offering paid Unlock Bootloader (UBL) services.
Please be aware that these messages are highly suspicious and may indicate scam activity.
🚫 Important Warnings
- Do not trust or engage with accounts offering paid UBL services via private messages.
- Do not share personal data, Mi Account details, verification codes, or make any payments.
- Any offer that claims to guarantee or speed up UBL approval should be considered unsafe.
ℹ️ About Official UBL Access
- The UBL quota is indeed limited, and approval depends on Xiaomi’s official system.
- Users are encouraged to keep trying through the official procedure.
- The official method is safe and does not require any payment.
⚠️ Beware of Bootloader Unlock Extortion Scams
Some scammers use fake paid UBL services as a way to extort users. After gaining access to a victim's Mi Account, they may remotely lock the device by changing the account password and enabling Find Device/Lost Mode.
The victim is then threatened that the device will remain locked, be permanently blocked, or have its data erased unless a ransom is paid.
This is a common social engineering scam designed to exploit fear and panic. If you receive such offers or messages, stop communicating immediately and report the account to the moderation team.
🛡️ How to Report Suspicious Accounts
You can help keep the community safe by reporting these accounts:
- Use the Report option directly in the message page, or
