This past Friday i went to this kiosk at a local mall. They were selling Asian film DVDs. I just wanted to buy 3 dvds. When i told the guy working there that i wanted just these three DVDs. Then the guy grabs three more dvds then says i'll sell you these 6 for $100 dollars. Then i said no, i just want those three and keep on telling him i just wanted those three DVDs i picked. Then he removes one then says i'll sell these five for $80. Then i thought about it, then i agreed to it(I don't know why i did).

Today i did some research on the net. I found out they were actually Bootlegs. DVDs are actually from known bootleg outfit Red Sun DVD (aka Bonzai Media, HK Video (not the French company), and Panmedia)

It seems the kiosk i bought them from only does exchanges and no refunds.

Today i called the FBI and the mall's management and security. The mall stated they would file a report to the local police station.

I guess i'll never get my $80 back huh?
What do you guys think?

I have not open any of the DVDs? What should i do with them?
