www.dvdsetshop.com - fake dvds with damaged boxes

DannySlapTop

Well, Im having luck today.
Just received a fake dvd box set from https://www.dvdsetshop.com

Box was damaged inside and the spelling on the counterfeit box is terrible.

Tryed to do a seach on DVDSETSHOP on google but the shop seems to be very clever and has been blogging everywhere using the seach term "fake" and other similar words in descriptions of the films so that when you type "dvdsetshop fake" you never get the warning that you should be getting.

Seems like a very clever operation. But I paid through paypal and I should get my money back on their buyer protection scheme.

Have a nosey into this one if your a techy and see if you can find me some way to fight back.

Yeah, I had a quick look at their site. I must admit just the basic English and grammer would be enough to put me off. Best to stick with the more well known outfits. Must admit I have used Play.com for a couple of years for DVDs. Always well priced and never had a problem yet.

Unfortunately my missus found this one, she did the check out and I did the paypal. I try not to "do everything" for her as it gets on her nerves, but maybe I'll have a chat with her on this occasion. gah!

Anyway cheers for the advise, I'll pass it on lol.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong board - typical noob here!

I found a similar website today 'dvdsetpro.com', perhaps by the same ''company'', I thought I would make people aware as I established it was probably not safe to use, firstly by the odd looking pictures they have for the box set covers which made me think 'fake' and secondly by doing a little research.. I have very little knowledge of the construct of websites but I know that most will have an 'about us' page and a 'terms and conditions', 'contact us' and 'privacy policy' somewhere about the site. This site has none of these things which should sound alarm bells. Also on looking through Google search results for their website address I found various posts on unrelated forum sites, attempting to promote the website I presume. They all use very bad english, another telling sign aside from the fact the posts are unrelated.

I concluded it best to warn as many as possible before people fell fate to this fake dvd website, risking the loss of money and waste of their time.

Just to recap, dvdsetpro.com = website selling FAKE dvds

Please don't be fooled by the amazing prices, we must remember, anything too good to be true probably is!

I hope the order was through ebay as well as I don't think you have any paypal cover when used outside of ebay. I do hope you payed the paypal balance with credit card as you might have some comeback there. At the very least a trip to Mr Plod and a report to FAST might loosen the sellers pocket.

this sounds like a great way to SPAM a forum....look at the number of people who have now seen the name....

Its interesting how useless Google can be! I searched for several days before deciding to order from Boxsets4less which is the same as dvdsetshop. I never found this website. I ordered Dr. Who Seasons 1-4 from DVDsetshop and the Collectors boxset of Star Trek from Boxsets4less. The Doctor Who set is in mint condition and plays just fine. The Star Trek box set had many scracthed yet playable DVDs. When I complained, they refunded my entire purchase price and let me keep the DVDs.

By the way, if you try their website today, it seems to be down. Are they gone for good?
