Today, I found my own story for sale on amazon, even though I did not put it there. I managed to take it down, but found many other 'suspicious' novels that shared very similar covers to the rip-off version of mine. They all are priced around 2,80 €, most of them at 2,84. The contents are always limited to: Summary, Chapters and Cover, no afterword, no acknowledgments. It is very likely all of the books below have been pirated.

I do not know if a similar thread exists, but I felt like doing this, just for people to check out.

If you are concerned about your book, feel free to look through the list, and if you find one you recognize, even if not your own, please share it with the author, or at least write below this post.

Here's the list, if I made a mistake and one of them is a genuine book, tell me and I will remove it from the list:
Warning! The list is very long.

Those were all uploaded in the last 30 days, and its probably not all of them. There are some which come from the same authors, so do check out the authors, too.

Just so authors have an idea of what to do, what did you do to take down the pirated novel? What was the process in removing it?

Below the synopsis, page count and language etc, there will be this: Report incorrect product information. Click on that.

Then a window opens where it asks for details, pick: This product or content is illegal, unsafe or suspicious.

Then it asks for the issue, pick: It uses my intellectual property without my permission.

Then this appears: To report infringement issues, go to Public Notice Form.

You can click on 'Public Notice Form'. A new site will load. Click on Report Infringement in the top right corner, right beside the amazon logo. Scroll down after clicking on it and click on Start Report. Have the URL of the product ready or just write down the name of the product in question. Then just fill out the field about the issue and if possible provide a link to SH or RR or other sites, so amazon can check if you really are the author.

You will have to write down your name and other basic contact information. Important: Your real name, email and phone number will only be seen by Amazon, not the other party.

They will ask you for a second email which the other party (the person stealing your stuff) will get in case they want to contact you. You also do not need to give them your real name.

That should be it, if I forgot something, feel free to correct me.

Hello, I am the author of Pet Store In Another World (https://www.scribblehub.com/series/722410/pet-store-in-another-world/). Thanks for letting me know !

I sent a report ticket, I'm now waiting for Amazon's response. I gave them 48h to remove this from their platform, or I will start legal action for copyright infringement.

In the meantime, I'll check if my other novel hasn't been plagiarized too.

Once again, thanks to all the kind souls who sent me a message ! I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you. ?
