My husband received 2 lots of the dvds today (slightly different names on the address) He may have been in trouble if I hadn't seen his face when he opened the envelope (confused surprise. Hilarious) Although we've had a laugh about it, it really isn't on

Thanks for this, I am going to print this in huge font and sent it back to them.

I am assuming everyone that received this package is male and over 18? Maybe someone can get the press or watchdog involved to push the police to take this seriously.
My 4 year old saw a Dvd and wanted to grab it. Very unimpressed with this bad direct sales ploy!

Yep got them in the post today as well, don't think I've ordered from any of the companies mentioned so far.

Glad that the RM are looking into it and hope the police do as well, wouldn't want my little one finding them.

I can confirm that there is nothing nasty (except the explicit material) on the disks, I've scanned them and there are no viruses. The only scam is getting gullible people to pay £10 for the rubbish on the disc.

The encryption is almost non-existent so anyone with some basic computer skills can easily circumvent the protection on the front of the disc and retrieve the pin.

The dvd actually states on it "RESTRICTED To be supplied only in licensed sex shops to persons of not less than 18 years" Seems the only bit they got right was they seem to have supplied it to over 18's :eek:

I ordered a cable from Safekom earlier this month.

If anyone can actually prove a link between them and these !!!!!! merchants I will raise hell with eBay and inform the police as well.

Same here. Weird thing is that they were addressed to a former partner who hasn't lived at with me for over four years and doesn't have any post still coming here save the odd bank statement.

Given that all of her activities have been directed away from this property for some time it's probable that it doesn't relate to any recent purchases made.

My guess is that it could be details being sold from an old eBay purchase of some kind.

Add me to the list! Two unsolicited DVDs (same as previous posters) opened in front of my partner, which was a bit embarassing.

Google got me here so here's hoping someone gets to the bottom of it (no pun intended).
