While I was surfing the Internet, I was quite surprised to find that this website, http://doobymedia.com, has been offering free eBooks or PDFs since the beginning of June 2016. It was owned by a mysterious company in United Kingdom. But their server was based in Ukraine, a high-risk country, for illegal or criminal activities. You can check it out by using this website called Scamadvisor.
The reason is that I found at least 7 of my Chess eBooks, which are being sold by me on the Amazon websites around the world, are being offered as free eBooks for anyone to download from the Doobymedia website. What's the catch? This website will take you to another website, probably based in Netherlands, which will offer you a 30 day free trail (without any details about the fees) AFTER you submit your credit card or PayPal information. If anyone did that, then they will get scammed BIG TIME anytime!
Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to warn my customers or other interested parties not to fall for this Doobymedia scam. And I have already emailed the administrator of that website and advise him to remove my list of 7 chess ebooks as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will inform the legal representative of the Amazon company to take legal action against this website. But I seriousily doubt that the Doobymedia website really have my 7 chess ebooks on their server. After all, they are only after your credit card or PayPal information.
Because of the Amazon's excellent reputation, I would rather sell my Chess eBooks on their Amazon websites! And I hope that you will agree with me. Cheers!
