I am the author of a recently-published book that lists for $8 retail. "morebooks" on alibris.com is phishing for someone to buy this book at $99.42 used and $77.67 new.
Does that tell you something?
I've also heard from other established professional poets who have had similar issues with this and other online booksellers: amazon.com (which amazon.com promptly dealt with when I e-mailed them!), alibris.com, and who knows what others. With a simple Google search, you also can track these scammers as they change login names and locations and sob stories.
I'm looking forward to involving the FBI, state attorney general, various consumer agencies, etc.in investigating this scam. It stinks of money-laundering or just pathetic scamming.
