It appears that Dream JB is nothing more than a scam, going by one of our sources and even renowned hackers like Stefan Esser (@i0n1c).

Earlier today I got a poke from one of my Twitter followers regarding Dream JB, an alleged new jailbreak service that promises to have an untethered hack ready for all iPhone users this week.

Apple Priest – who has reliably tipped us off in the past – told me he had his doubts about Dream JB, pointing out to similar scams.

Renowned hacker Stefan Esser (going by the Twitter handle @i0n1c) seemingly confirms our fears:

“Wow that fake jailbreak account @dreamjailbreak already has more than 10000 victims^H^H^Hfollowers,” he wrote to his 100K+ followers today.

To his defense, the Dream Jailbreak author says he will have proof of his untethered iPhone 5 jailbreak this week.

“Fans and followers, skeptics, whoever you may be, you're all important to me. Your proof is less than a day away, and I won't let you down,” he writes.

If he's charging anything, then this jailbreak is not a sound investment.

About the upcoming IOS6 jailbreak, here is a clue guys :

http://www.zdnet.com/mobile-pwn2own-iphone-4s-hacked-by-dutch-team-7000004498/

Regarding these dutch security researchers, I see a big moral concern.

How can they've found a security breach which impacts millions of cellphone and they decide not to tell it to the manufacturer so that they could help in patching the breach and thus protecting millions of users' data. ?!? Not a professional approach and at least a selfish one. They've found a security breach... so what ?

About the upcoming jailbreak WEBKIT exploit then, don't search further... ;-)

I think he's charging the other teams, he might be a scam but he's making thing better and faster! So other teams will compete and real JB will release soon...Lets hope for the best!
