This is bizarre, but, I found someone who's selling one of my books on Amazon, but the book is not even done yet and not put on Amazon at all. It's even got an ISBN and everything and I haven't registered it yet. Anyone at Amazon know how I'd go about getting that money?

WTF, it says A/W is the publisher? Uhhhhh either A/W has been selling my book without a contract or my permission, or someone was able to impersonate both me and A/W (Pearson) to publish a book that nobody but me has. This has to be a new kind of scam.pic.twitter.com/Jnhxka02et

Sounds like someone trying to drop ship/pre-order price arbitrage your book as the very best and still terrible scenario here.

Seems like a dumb ass way to do it since I haven't actually published my book at all. No publisher has it. Nobody does really. So, how would this work? And, how would they be able to publish it as Addison Wesley too?

Good chance it's someone's bot that scrapes lists of upcoming books and lists them on Amazon. Who knows if it's a scam or a way to capture relevance on Amazon before you launch it.

No it was the publisher. Apparently a programming mistake but they did put it in the system.
