Scamming - Fraud
The website Mega Ebook located at www.megaebook.cc is a fraudulent online bookstore operated by online scammers. Online users who shop at the fraudulent website, which the owners claim is the world's largest online bookstore, run the risk their credit card information stolen and used fraudulently by the scammers operating the website.
We were unable to find out where Mega Ebook or where the owners are located. The information is not on their website, and they are hiding their domain name information by using a third-party service. We do not recommend purchasing from websites that hide their locations. But, that doesn't necessarily mean the websites are fraudulent, it just makes them suspicious. And, when you are operating an e-commerce website where online users enter their personal and financial information, it is important that the website discloses all possible information about itself.
Online users who have used their credit card information on the fraudulent website are asked to contact their banks for help. Their banks should investigate, cancel the fraudulent transactions and refund their money.
The fraudulent website also hosts another scam, where it claims visitors can get a new iPhone X for only $1. But, this is just another method used by the scammers to trick potential victims into using their credit cards on the fraudulent website. If potential victims fall for the scam, their credit cards will be continuously charged randomly for different amounts.

I got a survey in my firefox web browser on my android phone which promised that a few lucky winners will get a new Samsung Galaxy S9 phone. They deducted one dolloar and then a week later came back for more. I had to block my card and approach my bank to file for a reversal of the transaction. This is a scam.
And guess what ive been victimize of this scam too .... please everybody be safe avoid such scams
did you get a reversal bcos they keep charging me and is there a way for me to get a refund?
Dispute the charges with your bank to have them refund your money.You may need to cancel your current credit card and get a new one to stop them from charging you.
I just discovered many pages that belong to the same fraud network! Some are from "LELIE TECHNOLOGY DO BRASIL" or "DELFT TECHNOLOGY DO BRASIL" but they indicate their location in the same place "Alameda Araguaia, 933, set 86, subset 01, Alphaville, Barueri, São Paulo".The pages are:-megaebook.cc-epubook.cc-ebooki.cc-inebook.cc-organizejobs.net-radiosuites.com-radioshare.cc-backhander.online
Tengan cuidado, es un engaño! Soy de Argentina y en mI caso la página no era "megaebook.cc" sino que era "epubook.cc" pero la metodología con la que te engañan con el supuesto Iphone X a $1 es la misma. Es increíble que exista más de una página que cometa este fraude y de la misma forma // Be careful, it's a hoax! I'm from Argentina and in my case the page was not "megaebook.cc" but it was "epubook.cc". The methodology with which you are deceived with the supposed Iphone X at $ 1 is the same. It is incredible that there is more than one page that commits this fraud and in the same way.
