I want to notify people that there is a risk of using this kind of service. I'm afraid that data on my phone was leaked from this place. I heard that some stores like this would steal your security information when they repair your phone. I was very afraid coz I gave my security code and the guy was able to check any of my accounts information, contacts, etc.

I visited the place to repair my phone as the display was broken. To be fair, the people at the shop were very friendly. When I visited there, they told me that they could repair my phone, but they needed to buy some parts so they told me to come tomorrow again, and I paid 20 euro as a deposit (They needed because they would buy the parts).

On the next day, I visited again and the guy took my phone and told me that he would repair it in two hours. He asked me to give him my security code so that he could check the phone works, so I gave it to him. Two hours later, I came back to the store, but the guy gave me back the phone without repairing, saying that he didn't have enough parts to repair. It was so weird to me coz they told me that they would buy the parts yesterday, and he said that he would repair two hours ago. I didn't get why I gave my security code to them which enabled him to check anything in my phone.

I want to believe this is not the case for me, but I can't deny the possibility that they took my information. There was nothing I could do at that moment, so I immediately changed all of my security passwords, but there was unknown login on my Instagram from California, and I got unknown calls from Congo and Mali several times.

So in short, it is your own risk to ask them to repair your phone. Be careful about your security information, especially when they ask you to give them your security code. Lastly, they told me that they would let me know when they get the part, but they never called me. Thank you.
