    I received two discs this morning. Is there any way of reporting this as a scam?

    I too received them today, "college virgins 2", "fresh faced *******", "breast strokers", I too haven't signed up for anything so guessing its a scam too

    Cheers for the replies, and aye, having done another google it looks like they're coming from an address known for scams (I may have messed up my first google, as I included DVD in it).

    It's interesting that it looks like a number of people have been getting them today, and surprising how fast google seems to have indexed the thread :)

    [edit]
    I've not bought anything from bid.tv ever, and only from QVC once (about 3-4 years ago).

    Got the same this morning. I have used various dvd and game rental companies in the past. Has anyone else?

    one of the famous 5:kiss:
  • Lot of new accounts being created for this one, just in case there is a chance of some sort of link to anything :D

    Yes I also received them, reported to police on 101 then fraud. Neither seemed particularly bothered. S'pose just have to wait and see what happens.
  • Got the same in the post this morning as well, and it was the same DVD's as mentioned by R1974.

    What is interesting is how they've got my address as I'm ex directory in the phone book and on the restricted electoral roll, and even google doesn't turn up my address.
  • I received the same discs in the post this morning, curious to see how it pans out via this thread and won't be putting the discs anywhere near my CPU!
