NOTE: http://www.nextdaymobilesltd.com/ is nothing to do with the real Next Day Mobiles Ltd of Neath, trading out of Aberdare, South Wales. http://www.nextdaymobilesltd.com/ is COPYING the real Next Day Mobiles and pretending to be them. The real Next Day Mobiles website is http://nextdaymobiles.com/

We went on Alibaba looking for 5 x Sapphire Radeon RX Vega64 8G HMB2 Graphics Card. A supplier purporting to be 'Next Day Mobile' and part of Global Sources responded (using Global Services logo). We were quoted £1500 to be paid by bank transfer to Account Name: Next Day Mobile Sort code: 23-00-82 Account No: *******. We were given a false tracking number the next day and a false phone number. On querying the false phone number (it was 'unassigned' so not a real number) we were told the product had NOT been shipped, because their minimum order number was 10 not 5. We asked why they had invoiced us for and agreed to supply 5 units and got back a load of nonsense about being 'in a meeting', 'needing to speak to a colleague', promises to refund us, not to worry, etc etc. But they said if wanted the delivery to go ahead we had to pay for another five. We demanded our money back. After some research, we discovered there were two Next Day Mobiles, the original, which is a genuine Ltd Company registered at Company's House, and a scammer using the same name Next Day Mobile Ltd and and writing to us in the name of the Director of the original Next Day Mobile quoting his address etc. The false website is www.nextdaymobilesltd.com We have reported the false 'Next Day Mobile' to the UK police, but I think it improbable our bank can recover our £1500, which they can only attempt to do after 14 days non-delivery of goods. This is all a scam, stay well away. I do not know how the counterfeit version of Next Day Mobile is still trading as the original had reported this to Trading Standards weeks ago. GoDaddy have not taken the site down and the hosting company has not either saying it needs a court order! Doubt police will do anything but this is a criminal organisation and a scam outfit. Alibaba obviously do not check people on their site at all. We had even pre-sold 2 of the items purchased, via Ebay, so now have to refund our customers while we try to find another supplier.
