Scamming - Fraud
Muama Ryoko Wifi located at getryoko.com, which claims you can get one-touch access to the internet in over 139 countries around the world, is misleading. The product is just a simple wifi hotspot or mobile tethering device. The Muama Ryoko Wifi advertisement is targeting people with no technical background or who are not tech-savvy.
You do not magically get unlimited internet out of air. You will do need a separate mobile internet contract from AT&T, T-Mobile or other mobile carriers to use with the Ryoko Wifi. The Ryoko Wifi does not do anything that cannot be done via your mobile phone's hotspot. A sim carrier that requires monthly top-ups or a contract is still required to access wifi which can be obtained via a cheap mobile phone at a fraction of the price!
Instead of buying a Ryoko Wifi, you can turn on Mobile Hotspot or Tethering on your cellphone or mobile phone to connect your devices to the internet. There is no need to buy this product that is misleading consumers with claims of unlimited internet, no surprise roaming fees while traveling, and 150 mbps superfast and secure 4G LTE internet connection. Remember, your internet speed will depend on your mobile carrier and the plan you have purchased from them.

Wish I had read this before I got scammed by this dishonest company with crappy products. Steer clear.
Scam for sure. The SIM card is from some country in Europe and does not work here in USA. I bought a USA SIM card and device does not work. On phone with customer service for over an hour, still doesn’t work. They put in technical service ticket. Total bull scam!
I ordered one they sent four. They said ok, just send the back, we will refund your money. I was charged for all four, over $200 for a $60 item! Return address is in Lithuania, shipping services for overseas shipping with lithium batteries is more than the devices. So I either pay the shipping, lose the products shipping costs, end up with out $200 with no products or eat the extra devices. Then have to buy a plan which is not mentioned in the advert.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you. I read a couple of "legit" reviews before yours, and they claimed it to be 100% legitand wonderful. However if you read those reviews carefully, you will notice how they claim how inexpensive the product is with it's current 70% off price; ie sales pitching. Scam product peddlers will put out scam reviews.Just goes to show that several opinions and a healthy dose of skepticism are required to survive in the online marketplace.
Big Scam. Couldn't get a reply to asking for refund of wireless which I didn't subscribe.
Scam. Tried to purchase at discount $89 to have my card charged at over $500. Received an alert from my card company. The website was based in Lithuania.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. You have saved me money
Don’t waste your money. This is a scam. Nothing about this is as advertised. If your try to return for a refund, forget it, they start deducting money from your refund right off the top and it just keeps going. There is also a 15% restocking fee that isn’t mentioned in their advertisement and you have to ship their product back to Lithuania. I originally paid $214.94 and by the time it was over my refund was down to $72.90 and that’s not including the shipping fee. The product does not work period!
Exactly. I bought a language translating device from the same company. It is complete BS. This is nothing better that the Google translate on your phone. Now I have been trying to return but there is no way. Their customer care works only one way only helps you buy and afterwards they cannot understand what you are trying to say. They understand you very well despite language barriers till the time you are talking about new purchase. the moment you start talking about return refund support somehow they cannot hear you and all type of connection issues start or I cannot understand you sir!Another thing about this company is they are very media savvy. You will not find one true review about the product just marketing pushed reviews and even the language and text across all the review sites is so similar and it is easy for customers to be believe that this is some great device which is going to solve all your problems. I am sure they are making billions is such quick sales of one device which is making so much noise in the media and by the time people understand they have been duped they have moved on to the next product t market. very smart but very fake dishonest company.
