Fake Charger

simple why he closed it, was approaching the vat threshold
So he is basically committing tax evasion as well as selling dodgy gear. No wonder he has the house of his dreams. I think the tax man should confiscate it. He does look like a Crook though in the pics
 
Contacted Next Day Batteries yesterday morning after checking my validation code (which failed) and received my replacement charger today. Validation passed and the plug is EU compliant. Can't say fairer than that. Looks to me like they are doing everything they can to rectify this issue.
 
I usually don't get involved in anything. I keep myself to myself and fight my battles by offering the best service I possibly can. I never throw personal insults and i'd help any vendor if I could. But what annoys me most about this, is he was willing to offload these chargers onto me (I obviously declined). And if he knew (not saying he did) that they were fake at the time - that's some totally underhanded shit. You don't run a business like this, you respect each other as me and @18650UK do.

Then after this, to have the nerve - to ask me for help - to get you out of this shit storm you've caused.

The right thing? You had your chance to do the right thing. And now you've pissed me off.

that is really bad i use to be a customer of his but no more you will be getting my custom from now on.............
 
So I ordered a I4 and 10 25r`s on Sunday from NDB before I saw all this. I emailed Josh Sunday and asked him to cancel the order, he said its already been despatched. Got the despatch email on Monday, been in touch with him saying I was going to reject delivery under DSR. He stated that they dont accept battery returns as they are genuine. So I am going to accept the order and return it with proof of postage and delivery as I suspect he may say its not been returned if I refuse delivery. Why wont he just admit the fact I dont trust his company and accept a return and refund me?

I think you can, he knowingly sold you a fake charger in the first place and put your life and your families lives at risk.
Still no warning/recall on his website, and should you really have to contact a vendor, he sold you faulty goods and has all your details.
You should of been contacted immeadiatly to not use a fake charger with a new one posted out.
How would you feel about the situation if the charger failed with you in bed asleep?

That's a joke, back me up on the forums after the shite he's caused.
If I had any dealings with him as a customer I would have gone to the BBC Watchdog programme by now.
You have helped him out already Ben and have my total respect mate.

For transparency, young @Ben fogstar and I chat quite a bit. Simply because as a customer of his I got to know the guy and quite like him, so yeah we talk.

Consequently I was aware of the above, and without any privacy violations other ‘issues’ also.

Basically he was extended an olive branch from Ben, even after having first popped on the scene he had copy and pasted Ben’s website. Ben offered advice at every turn. Says a lot for both characters that right there does.

He then proceeded to repeatedly ask for assistance over a period of months and drag Ben, and most likely others, into his corner cutting ways of making a quick buck.

I ain’t gonna divulge anything else but suffice to say way, way before all this exploded young Joshua Malone’s business and safety practices were under serious scrutiny.

This guy, in my opinion, doesn’t deserve to be in business in any sense of the word. His customer service skills are abysmal and his business ethics are questionable. Not just with one business but with 3 (vaping related).

But when a massive part of your business is safety, and cutting corners is toward the top of your priority list, there’s simply one thing you should do.

You should stop. With immediate effect.

You don’t ever, ever see Fogstar, 18650, Ecolux et al get caught up in safety scares. Why? Because they care. About both the longevity of the businesses that they’ve built up and their reputations. And between the three of them there’s more than enough choice to go around.

So do the decent thing Joshua Malone/Next Day Batteries, Stop where you are and cease to exist. Our world will be better without you.

N.B- I’m STILL waiting for my invitation [emoji6]

Sorry to hear that, keep us in the loop.
 
Josh is still deleting posts from FB.

I asked him why he hasn't posted his notice on his website yet informing returning customers that they may be using dangerous chargers he sold them, as not everybody visits his FB page.

Post promptly deleted by Josh.
