Venturedirect.co.uk
Onedigitals.co.uk
Mobicity.co.uk


All three are part of the MilkyWay Group.
English phone numbers but the address for Venturedirect and Onedigitals are in the same building in Hong Kong.


The contact telephone numbers for Onedigitals and Venturedirect are very similar, just the last two digits being
different.


Milky Way Group say that they acquired Venturedirect and Mobicity during 2016.


Their websites have various similarities and upon phoning each of their telephone numbers you get an exactly the same recorded message spoken by a very similar sounding female voice.


Each company have consistently negative reviews on Trustpilot.


Each undercuts their outside competitors but the old adage is if it is too cheap it is too good to be true certainly applies here.


I submitted this review on TrustPilot and they originally published it.
The vendors all objected, not that my information was incorrect but that I had not purchased an item from them, so in effect I was not a genuine purchaser.
TrustPilot pointed out to me that as I had not purchased an item from them my reviews were indeed invalid and were removed from their site.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune.


    Put a review on TrustPilot, and come back and tell us of the hurdles that they make you jump in order to do so.
