Fake Commodore 64 Programming Book Scam BUSTED!
2,180Robin discovers a new (in 2023) book titled "Beginner's Guide to Coding With Commodore 64" and then discovers 4 more 2023 books about C64 programming and buys them all and it isn't at all suspicious. After a close examination it is determined that these are actually pirated and AI-generated scam books being sold through Amazon. The original source book, Richard Stals' "Beginner's Step-By-Step THEC64 Computer Coding Course" is then examined and Robin tries to get some of his money back.
With apologies to VWestlife for borrowing the title format from some of his videos.
