I bought a PCM upgrade disc from a link recommended by another member http://www.satnavi.com/ to be promptly alerted by my bank, after having parted with £35 or so, that it looked suspicious. My bank found other complaints about the scam on the net and blocked the payment to www.Pimus.com (who now seem to be known as 'Bluesnap'). My card was also precautionary stopped and now re-issued.

Oddly the other member seems to have had a happy result when he bought his but still worth being wary of I guess.

Yeah Gary it was you I was referring to lol. It's strange that you had complete success and I didn't. Well, I now need to find another source - any suggestions?

Well bugger me - a disc arrived today, fitted it and it seems to work! What on Earth were Barclays going on about?
