I'm not saying that everyone is a scammer. MR itself has members who cleanup ebooks from Gutenberg, add on covers and fix the TOC's among other things. I just meant that there are some people who likely do as I have said. I can't recall if it was here or somewhere else I saw a post about it. As soon as something new is invented or devised someone somewhere will start thinking of ways to use it to scam others alas.
