Default Ripped off by Nowplay.co.uk aka zappies.co.uk


I ordered a g6 for my daughters nintendo ds from Nowplay.co.uk with the hope to use some of the media player functions in the cart.

After 26 days still no sign of it. The company does not respond to e-mails or answer the phone. Typing the shop name into a search engine reveals a lot more people who have been ripped off by these people.

They also trade as zappies.co.uk.

Please steer well clear if you ever come across them, you will lose your money.

Got through today to nowplay, gave my details and the got hung up on. This is the second time this has happened. :x

Thanks for warning us all about this.

I can see that their VAT No. GB887 7522 64 is the same on both sites.

Can you not notify the police about it? Or trace it back to the company name based on the VAT No? I bet you if you threaten them about going to going to the POLICE about it, I think you might get a reply.

Hopefully you make some progress on it. Keep us posted.

Just thought I'd mention I got my 7 year old's supercard for DS from here:-

http://www.supercardstore.com/

A good cheap and reliable supplier for nintendo DS media cards (cheaper than ebay and with money back guarantee)

It's pretty expensive over at supercardstore. An R4 for DS costs about $60, whilst at dealextreme it costs almost half the price at $36.

I'm so tempted to buy something from them. So far have not seen any complaints about them yet.. Still waiting for some discount code to come around before i place my order.

Hello there!
I used Zappies as a supplier and yes I have been ripped off by them as well!
If you would like to give me further details to contact you if you wish to continue trying to get your money back of them.

We are proceeding with charges towards late payment "refund" of wrong goods and will take them to court to get our money back.

We did leave it for some while just phoning and being polite but they will not answer there emails or phones anymore (suprise suprise).

Just a note for you. Vat numbers can not be used for 2 company names that is only registerd in one sole company name. I am sure the inland revenue will love that one :wink: :wink:

I've had the same problem and got the cockney dodger on the phone a few times.

I have today sent them a court issue form and given them 7 days before i walk to my local court and issue on zappies.

i sent my letter to both nowplay and zappies giving them notice of my intentions with a copy of emails i have sent them and the printed invoice.

i'll give you an update once i have received a response.

if they do not reply i will issue on 28th and should they not resposd will be asking the district judge to enter judgement against the registered company and seeking an enforcement warrant for a bailiff to visit them for my cash.

power to the people!!!!!!
