Scam??

[borisnikon]

Found this on eBay, I'm not looking to sell them as it says in the description but for a couple of pound some of the books look like a good read.
I just wondered if it contained any viruses (ad-ware, spyware ect.) I don't want to break my computer so I asking for your opinions on this.

Thanks in advance!

... it's like they went to the garbage dump and shoveled it into the internet.

Worth getting or not?

You could always run a virus scan the DVDs.........

IMO no way, this especially if you're planning on redistribution. I can almost 100% assure you that this stuff is either stolen and they're only saying that it's freely redistributable, or already freely available.

To me, this looks like a giant heap of trash, prob a bunch of low resolution scans of books in non-searchable PDFs and advice from the websites of cat ladies who think they're experts because they've sold a few made-in-china "antiques" on ebay.

If you're worried about viruses, then it's not worth the risk.

I doubt it has any viruses, but I can almost guarantee there will be further 'add ons' that you 'need' to get your business up and running. Then there will be a franchise fee, then a web hosting fee, then some other sort of fee.

Yes, it is a scam.

Ok I probably won't bother then, I just thought the some of the books would be good to read myself, I would never try to re-sell them.
