WARNING Fake dvds popcorntime.co.uk

Do not buy from popcorntime.co.uk. Have just received the most obviously fake disney dvds from them, dispatched from Thailand.
The site looked very legit to the untrained eye (Me :embarasse), but have since been told there are ways to tell that it is dodgy.
The dvds I bought were not particularly cheap at £11.99 each, took 2 months to arrive (after many emails to seller) and really are the most obviously fake dvds ever, the sleeves are just bad photocopies!
Does anybody know of somehere I can report the site?
Do not use popcorntime.co.uk !!!!

had a look at the site mainly because I too would not necessasiry recognise a dodgy site.
This is the first site I have ever seen which advertised that it's secure BUT the padlock doesn't appear where it should.
How else can dodgy sites be recognised?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
