So Amazon sent me an interesting E-mail
Apparently someone has been trying to either use my titles to manipulate or either steal them from the Amazon/KDP. Which may have resulted in improper reads and sales.
This makes me...nervous for obvious reasons. One being how many of my reads/sales are proper and from people who actually enjoy my work?
Last month was amazing, but I just found out 1/4 of those sales were false and it is devastating. Even this month has been pretty good, but I don't know if those reads/sales are real anymore.
Please, if anyone is actually doing this, don't. Even if you think you are helping the author you just making them look shady on top of giving them messed up expectations.
Instead of the $300+ I thought I was getting, it is closer to $260, if that.
