    reported to police on 101 then fraud. Neither seemed particularly bothered..

    Sadly not surprising. Have you tried Trading Standards for the area where the DVDs are being sent from?

    Unfortunately if you do this YOU will then be breaking the law - as they did when they posted them out - because as other posts (e.g. #94) say R18 DVDs should not be posted under Royal Mail regulations and UK law and only sold in licenced adult shops which as someone else has pointed out even the discs say.

    I believe you may also be breaking the law by not including postage on them if you did post them back.

    I'd break the DVDs in two and then send them back anonymously having unintentionally forgotten to put stamps on.

    Totally agree with Martin's @MartinSLewis twitter comments on this.
  • I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been asked.

    Has anyone, who has opted out of the Edited Electoral Register, received them?

    I wonder if Royal Mail are aware of what they are delivering? I would have thought the images on the "College Virgins" disk are bordering on obscene.

    So that's trainee college chefs, cooking with extra virgin olive oil? Doesn't sound like !!!!!! at all.

    Sorry to tempting.
  • If someone could figure out the PIN, they could publish it on here.

    Hey Presto, free !!!!!! for you lot, and the scam fails.

    BTW. Another thought.

    Are these packages only going to households with couples/families in residence?
