Apple iPhone iOS 6.1, 6.0, 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2 jailbreak scam websites
Currently, millions of users are eagerly awaiting an untethered jailbreak to be published for their Apple iPhones and Apple iPads running the iOS 6.x.x version. With this, several scam sites claiming to provide various jailbreak methods have also appeared. These websites typically ask the user to pay a fee in order to be able to either download a jailbreaking software or access a tutorial video with the procedures outlined. Some websites also claim to offer the jailbreak tool for free and asks the user to download and execute a file. If anyone happened to stumble upon one of the websites claiming to offer iOS 6.x.x jailbreak, then be very cautious. In the best case, you may simply lose some money, but in the worst case your credit-card information may be stolen or you may actually be infected by a virus when you visit the websites and in particular if you download any tools they claim to make the jailbreak available.
The true status of a jailbreak for iOS 6.x.x is actually that none exists today. I refer to my previous article which outlines the jailbreaks that do exist today. When an officially working jailbreak does become published, I will also correspondingly update my article with the procedure that is to be taken to successfully jailbreak an iOS 6.x.x device.True status of iPhone/iPad iOS 6.1, 6.0, 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2 jailbreak

We can be assured that the developers, and in particular the Jailbreak Dream Team is working hard to find an exploit that would enable jailbreak on an iOS 6.x.x device. Currently, there has actually been a video posted of an iPhone 5 running the IntelliScreenX Cydia tweak, but the specific procedure has not so far been published.
Recently, it was shared through the "Hack in the Box" conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that the Jailbreak Dream Team is attempting to find an exploit through several vectors. For example, pod2g is working on finding userland exploits and planetbeing is working on finding kernel exploits. In addition, p0sixninja is working to extract the encryption codes for iBoot in order to dump the bootROM. Having the bootROM available will greatly aid in the process of creating an untethered jailbreak when a exploit that triggers code execution is found. Of course, many more well-known iOS hackers are also investing considerable amounts of efforts into finding a jailbreak and hopefully with their joined efforts we may soon have an untethered jailbreak available to us.Conclusion: No jailbreak for Apple iPhone on iOS 6.1, 6.0, 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2... yet
For us regular mortal people, all we can do currently is to await official words from the Jailbreak Dream Team and be very cautious when surfing into websites that offer jailbreaking tutorials or tools either for free or for a fee!Recent updates

January 2013
It was recently communicated by iOS jailbreak hackers that an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and older models running the iOS 6 operating system, including iOS 6.0.1, 6.0.2 and even the soon to be released iOS 6.1, should be very possible and possibly even within the very close future. More details can be found in this article.
