  • The domain bee.com wouldn't come cheap anyway. I doubt scammers would bother when there are people out there who would have no issues buying from cheap-dvds-4-u.biz. So we now know that MBL is definitely the owner of Bee, they didn't just claim that. I can't see how anybody can have issue with the site now, when this company are a national supplier and have been trading for years.

    For those interested, MBL is registered at Companies House with #04198290 and Bee.com is registered as MBL 2010 Ltd with #07345446.

    I did not say that Bee was operated by fraudsters, that was you saying that. I was pointing our how fraudsters operate and how they have operated in the past. And how you all seem happy to hand your cash over to anyone.

    I said that you are all happy to hand over all of your card details to a company that did not have any customer support to speak of and took money from cards for unauthorised transactions. And what's more, none of you seem to give a toss.

    But as you say, not my loss.

    That's a sweeping generalisation. You seem to be implying that not one person researched this company before placing an order. Plus, just because they have bad customer service, doesn't imply they are fraudsters. You should look at the threads on Talk Talk if you want really bad customer service.

    blue_monkey, are you German? It's just that I did a search online using your username and the following appeared:Schadenfreude ;)


    Edit: To be fair blue-monkey, you actually made some reasonable points in some of your posts, I just think you just need to be careful about how you word them. Not only did they come across as somewhat patronising, but your implication about bee.com was questionable.

    i've just skimmed the last couple of pages and all that aside (:p) those who've had their card declined havs anyone actually spoken to bee and been given a reason why it says declined? Mine was declined but i know i've got money in my account. I did another order with different name address and card and that says processing. I ordered the shrek dvd and its something i do actually want so i'm not sure wether to order it somewhere else or not?

    I spoke to my bank and Bee tried to take more money than i agreed (TS3 was £ 2.99 after discount and they wanted to take:mad: £ 7.50)

    Just pleased they were on the ball, James.

    MSE worries me sometimes, no matter how many times it happens to someone, people are still happy to give their credit card details to all and sundry because they want to get a bargain.

    Out of all the people who gave their card details, how many of you actually got something or all that you ordered. Its easy to set up an 0844 number too so don't let this fool you. I could do that today, it does not make me more credible.

    Has anyone from MSE commented about the other transactions yet since they advertised this in the newsletter? James, have you emailed them and told me them about these 2 trasnactions?
    ive emailed phone yet conviniently no one answers the phone or has replied to my email

    I have emailed them twice because they sent only 1 DVD when I paid for 2 but no reply.
