Default First time I've been scamed

Ermmm never happen before as i'm pretty cautious but purchased a disney dvd from what looks like a reasonably reputable site here and after a week it arrived... As soon as i saw the from Thailand envelope i thought here we go, this is defo a rippoff... The cover looks really good actually, but reading a rather usefull ebay note on counterfiet dvd's here this one fits them all...
wasn't too botherd other than paying £12.99 for it but after opening the case the DVD's like covered in finger prints and looks a bit ropy, wouln't play, could,'t get it to read in anything so fooked, sussed out it just a DVD 5 with no encription and no region so for sure just a counterfiet rip...

Just tried tracking the company down and its not in the UK, although I did pay via paypal so hoping i can get some money back out of them, daubtful though...although if I don't and i find the guy who's name on the paypal acount is in the uk, and not bangcock an (andy byard) then i'll be paying him a little vist

and yes it will be worth £13 just for the same of it...

so just be safe and aviod that one... budgetdvd

Amazon for me from now on...

Dazza,

The site at first glance looks ok, but if you would have looked for an address or phone number you would have seen there isn't one. Always make sure the site has a phone number and address.

I think its actually illegal not to have an address on there if you are selling goods

Well not me normally, but you can't get hold of Disneys Beauty and the Beast, and for the fist time I actually wanted a genuine copy DOH! let my guard down... May have to get a rip now, but if you know your going to do that then paying £3 for its more like it... I don't mind paying for decent stuff...

BTW if you have a copy of B&TB let me know or you could potentially get £50 for a genuine version on ebay...
