Fake Charger

[deadappy]

The plot yet thickens...

For the sake of customer security, I'm not going throw names out here but i believe all of this to be both relevant, and likely useful for the future.

I've been contacted by "others" over the course of this morning. Two in particular has sent me pictures of a counterfeit charger claimed to have been bought from Next Day Batteries. They've also included a picture of the paypal receipt which interestingly displays the name "M & T Partners Ltd" as the recipient of the payment.

Looking at the website, mtpartnership .co.uk, it bears a striking resemblance to that of NDB. In fact, looking into the source code for the website, they're identical selling the same products. The source code on the page shows it was almost certainly built by the same person/company with only changes being made for branding.
Further to the above, the bottom of the website displays the name "The Complete Startup", a company/business with which the owner is NDB is/was affiliated with.
Looking up the details of M & T Partners, the owner/director of this business has an affiliation with "GeoTee Apparel".
The owner of NDB had himself listed as a Director of GeoTee until very recently when GeoTee popped up on Facebook to denounce it and said he was merely going to be an investor, and for various reasons this was no longer the case and had requested it was removed from his profile in order not to be caught up in this.

Make of it what you will, but there is clearly more to this than initially thought and someone is far from coming clean...

That's interesting.

I had a chat with the owner of GeoTee and he confirmed Josh has nothing to do with the company. The reason he knows Josh is that he does all graphic design and web design for Josh, as well as other vape companies, so that's the link between them.

Where did you find the information for The Complete Startup?

I'm only interested as the registered business address of M & T Partners is literally around the corner from me.

It seems suspicious in a way.

There's no such thing as bad publicity' is often associated with Phineas T. Barnum, the 19th century American showman and circus owner who never sold a single dodgey charger in his life

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! This guy is the Del Boy Trotter of Vaping. Only in this case it’s definitely not comedy.

Internal pic from one of the fakes...I think this ones a D4 - but notice how detailed everything else is just the one stupid mistake - Oh and the poorly finished PCB that seems not to have been cleaned...

Sorry Josh but that's the most pathetic piece of shit I have seen in a long time. It took you a lot of bollocks to write that? My Mrs has more bollocks than that and I have seen jelly fish with more spine than you.

You have been shown to be trying to clear bad comments about your services from Trust Pilot.

You have been shown to have been knowingly selling fake chargers, months after you were initially told about it.

As a business specialising in selling chargers and batteries you should know your shit and you should have been working to keep your customers safe, not putting them in danger and calling them liars when you got caught out.

You regret appears fake to me and to many others reading this thread as well I am sure.

I love you mild mannered monk.
