This is sadly very common. It happened to me when I tried buying a 99 cent kindle ebook of Henry James' Turn of the Screw. I thought I just sucked at early century English but then I realized the writing was a little too indecipherable. When I looked up another version I realized it was completely different, as though it was run through a translator and then back into English. I'm afraid it's a very common scam.
