IT's really awful because when you get to that first page they certainly have the rigth cover and the "review" might be real but something someone wrote when the book came out ... it was certainly reviewed and sold a few thousand copies within months .

of course I didnt click the download..
sigh

OK, this looks bad. It appears to be a well-organized scam of some

Here's the page that lists your book:
https://livrobook.xyz/free/register.php?id=080651356X
But when you click the DOWNLOAD link it takes you to a redirect at
valvemedia.com... that directs you to a different site every time!
They're all identical except for being under different domain names.
Here are the sites it sent me to:

There could be more. Perhaps hundreds.

Each of those sites above has its own sign-up page:
https://www.hugestfun.com/signup?sf=oops&_sign=5ac0a643c14c84633a71040f3fa67ec9&_signt=1508704538&lng=EN

Again, all identical, but at different domains.

All the domains listed above are at different IP addresses, but all
are (for now) hosted by Reflected Networks.

I can't tell if the well-organized criminals behind all of these sites
are actually giving out PDF copies of books or if it's all a scam to
steal credit card numbers. Obviously, I'm not going to give them my
credit card information to find out! Anyone got a Visa gift card with
just a few pennies left on it? That would be a safe way to test their
system and see what they're up to.
