What happened
Scammers use fake ebook downloads, misleading search results and fake bookshop adverts to trick readers. Downloads from pirate sites can secretly install harmful programmes that steal passwords and bank details. Buying from official stores and checking website addresses carefully makes these traps much less likely to work.
