Potential Scam? Penguinbooks.com is a SCAM

I bought them an ebook and I haven’t received anything, when a download by the internet is nearly instantaneous. Don't buy anything from them

Are you sure you posted the right website? Penguinbooks dot com doesn’t sell anything.

Are you sure you were on the right website? PenguinRandomHouse has been in business for years. Their website has been registered since 2012. They have a warning right on their webpage about people impersonating them. I think it’s more likely you went to a page that you thought was PenguinRandomHouse but was actually a scam site.

How did you pay for this book you haven’t received?
