Scam. Getting scam calls and so annoyed with myself for using this website.
Very dangerous!

Looks legit and then card declined transaction
Few days later and someone had tried to use my card to spend 100 quid at pizza hut in London and 215 quid at some other shop.All reported to fraud department and my card cancelled from the internet
They picked on the wrong person....looks like there is an upside to being poor!
If anyone has used this site then get your card blocked NOW
Scam!
Same as the others. I contacted my bank they said that scammers tried to do two transactions £500 each. All cards frozen. But I don't feel comfortable knowing that my data is on the DarkWeb somewhere. My case was transferred to the Fraud Department. Big thank you to may previous reviewers
Avoid
Avoid. Had to cancel my card, kept saying error, had to cancel my card. Just waiting for my bank to let me know if they attempt to take the payments! Also couldn't find their site this morning. Scam to take your cash!
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM…
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM…
Exactly the same as all other reviews. I tried paying for a book and the website saidthe transaction failed, and to use another card. Despite the transaction failing, payments still taken.
Just to reiterate
Just to reiterate. This site does not seem genuine. I tried using two cards and both transactions failed. Then checked here to find others had the same experience. It is possible site is used to harvest card and contact info.
Scam
Oddly enough, the payments didn’t go through so I check on the web and turns out they are scammers collecting people’s data. Had to freeze my card
After ordering a book and giving my…Avoid this site
After ordering a book and giving my details, i'm informed that the transaction couldn't be processed. I had 2 lots of money taken from my account. A 3rd amount was attempted and blocked by the bank.
I cant prove anything that this site is responsible but it is just too much of a coincidence as I dont give any information to anyone.
Money was eventually returned to me by the bank.
None of my cards worked
None of my cards worked, then read reviews and have cancelled my cards. Very professional site with books that are hard to get hold of, feel very stupid.
Website is a scam
Website is a scam! Tried to purchase a book that’s unavailable everywhere else, I should have known it was too good to be true! Wouldn’t process card - error message but I understand this is a front to harvest bank details. Need to replace cards now. DO NOT USE!
This is a scam
This is a scam. Like in the previous reviews , I tried to pay 4 times and every time I tried, there was an error message saying that my payment didn’t go through. Basically they took my payment details so I froze my Visa card , and then called to report it as stolen.
Professional scam
Professional scam. I gave them details for two credit cards, my mobile telephone number and my email address. Then I realised it is a scam when the transaction didn't go through.
They claim the company address is 50 Bedford Square, London, WC1B 3DP, United Kingdom. The registration number of the company 09444865 is for a dissolved company called PROSIENT LIMITED - Dissolved on 13 October 2020 with this address:
Unit 7 Ball Mill Top Main Road, Hallow, Worcester, Worcestershire, United Kingdom, WR2 6LS. There are no officers registered in the Register of the Company house.
Scam for collecting your payment details
Scam for collecting your details and payment info. They host their own copy of Trustpilot with their own reviews. I now went through process of reporting my payment card to be compromised because I tried to rush my purchase. Silly me. Btw. if you get there from Google, the advertiser there is registered from Kenya.
I'm sure that it's a scam and wish I…
I'm sure that it's a scam and wish I had looked at this page before putting all my details in. Have frozen card before anyone attempted to use it - but these people are essentially getting our information to sell on the dark web...
Scam
Scam. This is a scam company apparently selling books very cheap in an effort to harvest credit cards. Fortunately I blocked mine before they were able to use it.
Professional scammers!
Professional scammers. Legit-looking site at first glance, lots of books on there, all the info. and star reviews, little padlock visible when making payment, etc. Noticed they don’t do PayPal which I thought was unusual though not unheard of. Checked them out, before paying, on what I thought was Trustpilot (but which I later realised was a page they had created!) My card details were rejected and so I emailed the company but it’s all fake. They’ve spent a lot of time and effort making the site, the reviews, everything. No money was taken from my account so I assume they are procuring people’s personal/card details. I have since cancelled my card and requested a new one. I’m normally very astute on such things but was in a rush and it was the fake Trustpilot review that clinched the deal! Argh! Feel a fool but at least I realised before they got any cash from me… it’s not hard to get hold of names and addresses so I’m not to worried about that bit. Stay clear, people! 😬
