I'd bought from them, as had friends.
The problem was their after sales support. If you had something wrong with the phone…. good luck getting support.
But if the phone was fine (in the majority of cases im sure), everything was a-okay
Too late, too little
We'll see if they pay the fine or just close the business, declare it bankrupt and open it again in another name.
This "Phoenixing" of businesses is a big problem in the construction industry.
Not just the construction industry. I have a mate who worked for a mining company which forced employers to organise their own "home use only" software to avoid license fees, and which did not pay superannuation or large invoices to suppliers. Every few years they would declare bankruptcy and phoenix as someone else, then continue business as usual. It's more profitable to invest in lawyers than to run a decent business.
Also a big problem in the solar panel installer industry.
Lots of horror stories on whirlpool of dodgy installs and what not.
They don't even try to use a different website design and the offices are sometimes just an empty office in some new guys name.
The name is android enjoyed but they sell non android. No one should trust and buy from them. Really. Common sense.
Their prices were always in the category of "too good to be true"
