I'm just amazed at all the newbies who have had these and how few regulars have, I wonder what has been going on?

Or maybe regulars, like me, have just set up another account to comment on this thread.

Hi - newbie here!

Received the same as everyone else and foolishly called the number to complain/unsubscribe. Got a mesdage saying to unsubscribe please leave your name and address and then it said their mailbox was full so I couldnt do it anyway (not that I would have!)

Just checked with BT and the call rate on the number is just over 5 pence per minute so my call has cost me nearly nothing - the scam must be in the info people leave on the calls to unsubscribe or on the activation of the disks.

Hope the police latch onto this as R18 can only be sold in sex shops and the images on the disks are obscene and surely its illegal to post such images to random people.Would also like to know whos been sending all our details out.

Im members wife and so pleased to find this thread today. I had the same 2 dvds and was driving myself mad wondering who would send or order them! Are they all being sent to over 18s? Should we all report it and if so to whom? Im in Oxford area.

Also got these DVDs today. Totally unimpressed as my 5 year old twins opened the envelope. Don't know whether to do a 'not known at this address' or just chuck them in the bin. Didn't think police would be too interested? Am careful who I buy from on internet and what competitions I enter so no idea where details come from.

Normally I don't mind entering my address on websites for competitions etc as I think the worse thing that could happen is a bit of spam mail - little did I know :mad:

Also had the 2 DVDs today. They were adressed to me using my initials, which is strange as I use my first name when ordering from Amazon and the like.
Anyway, it's reassuring that so many other people have also received them. At least I don't have to rack my brains worrying about who sent them.

I too was shocked to received the two discs today, to my parents house no less! They used a name and address I don't normally use, so looked at my recent online purchases and found one of interest.

Has anyone recently ordered anything online from the following;

eBay sellers; plusbee or safekom

Websites; plusbee.com or safekom.com or etradehouse.com

Amazon seller; Wholeseller

They are all one and the same person based in Greenford. They sell cables and things such as HDMI cables, RF cables.

Check your email confirmations to see.

Thanks
Is Imemory or Total Digital Stores one of these as well as I've bought from them at Amazon recently?

I think it is probably due to this being the first site you see when you google the address and dvd.

People are getting the dvds, googling, then registering to share the fact.
I've been one here years, and I got them.
EDIT- and I only got to this thread via google

^^^^ Exactly this, I'm a long time viewer for all the good advice this site gives, but never registered till now!!

I received these dvd's as well today, I'm from the Wirral. Had a really bad day today and came home to find these through my letterbox. I'm no prude but after the day I had, the images on these and not knowing who sent them (thinking it could have been my exes girlfriend who has previously given me silent phone calls at all hours registering me to get something like this!) set me off in tears

I actually received two envelopes, both addressed identically to me and both containing the two dvds.

So glad to know I'm not the only one and my mind has been put at rest, but still shocked that something like this could be sent unsolicited through the mail

Don't think anything is going on. Quick google and they're on this forum.

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!
