Not a scam.
This was the Internet of that era. Helped get me and my siblings through many a school project
I don't know how anyone in the 70s wrote a report for school without plagiarizing the set of encyclopedias their mama and daddy got at the piggly wiggly by paying a penny a volume for every $25 worth of groceries bought. And by plagiarizing I do not mean paraphrasing; I mean copying word for word. We had all 26 volumes PLUS the full color atlas and the dictionary. I was more interested in that Atlas than I was my dad's playboy collection until I was 13 or so....
