The sucky thing about this is that the way Amazon pays out Kindle Unlimited reads is through a pool they create each month. They essentially take the size of the pool (say, $20 million) and divide by the total pages read and pay out to each author depending on how many page reads they had.

In other words, scammers like this are taking money directly from authors producing legitimate work.
