I have started to see many of these FAKE camera manual sites
They go by different names,
but all
generate the same page and link
- scroll down for more info.
Also: The newest trick is to have
you add an "extension"
to your Google Web Browser... right...
then everything
you do will be recorded and sent to that company.
Back to camera manual site
Below is one of many of these "extensions"
"Please install the new free Online Manuals extension
to update your Google
Chrome™ new tab,
to access free manuals with sponsored web search."
I
read the "Terms of Service", I did !

1: This "extensions" is made in Hong
Kong (Everbright Centre, 108 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong) 2: "you are installing a software application that will change your internet browser settings. The Extension is designed to enhance your internet searches and provide additional features. As such, the Extension may reset your browser homepage, start page, new tab page and/or default search settings." NO... you don't want to do that ! ! |
This is a Google doc page
If you notice (which these people hope you don't) it is a Russian website !
a .ru site is Russian... you do NOT want to go to a Russian web site.
What I downloaded was a PDF, but it was hacked and contained an extra program inside the PDF.
My anti-virus did not like that and recommended to me not to open it.
So just a warning, it seems to come from a WordPress site. Just don't be fooled.
These starting to showing up too !
If you notice... read the text.. it does not make sense...
and you think
the file is safe ? ?
This one goes to a Germany site .dk
Even more fake web sites:
These sites state you can get the blah-blah-blah manual and they give you a link:
Here is another one looking for a Polaroid repair manual
! Gee, identical to the other one.
Look at the photo of the guy
with "Yes, just fill in, it's a trusted site". Same person. Same
date it was on the other site. Amazing !
FYI. Note the domain name.
.myddns.me is someone's personal hard drive... oh no !
Plus the site is not secure.
Gee... even if looking for an underwater flash... Exact same fake search page.
Looking for a Horseman manual... same wording... amazing !
Good site... long time there download ? That's
proper English ? ?
March 2021 still there with different names - a trusted site... really, every date seems to be 2014 ! !
A new style below... gee are the replies sounding like the ones above. And
all this done in a few hours time. Again check the time on the replies.
See how it's done the next image below.... That site is a blank site, the search
item is filled in.. and you get spamed !
The fake site from Yahoo
These new sites have been showing up, buying domain
names of old camera sites and "promising" you can get the information you are
searching if you just install their trash.
If you read their "terms of
service", you won't like what they do.
