Yeah that seems like a great way to end this discussion. Might have been easier to just walk away and be happy enough with your purchase despite d123 pointing out some facts to you.....

He seems offended that I criticised his choice of retailer .

Ah well, that leaves me devastated .

If you both are so concerned with what you think is a company committing fraud why don't you go and contact them or HMRC?

Or maybe, just maybe, you are arguing for the sake of it!?!

I couldn't care less about you criticising who I bought it off - jesus, you're mad.

No one even mentioned fraud, just the fact your “UK company” is likely simply a shop front for an HK company.

Even if they are a HK company they commit no offence selling to UK residents, though the UK resident could be committing tax evasion when buying from them.

Out of interest, if your phone came from a “UK company” why was there any mention of import duty/vat and why was any paid (even a partial payment)?
