What scammers? Why are they not a genuine author?
Posting recipes as single pages rather than an entire book isn't a scam.
The author gets paid the same amount as if someone had downloaded the whole book and only read one page.
If you mean actual scam books, then say so, and report them to Amazon, but the recipe example you gave is no problem, IMO.

And don’t argue over the definition of “too short”, you can’t get shorter than 1 page of text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it doesn’t have to be full)
If you think it is, report it to Amazon.
