Was looking for instances for Librephotos and came across sites like this. As you can see these sites contain the same type of information taken from official sources. If you click on the link, you will be redirected to a blank google search page.
What is all this done for?
AI-generated spam. They fill the website with (potentially malicious) ads and try to profit off people that accidentally click the link thinking it’s a real website. It’s the main reason search engines have been terrible to use lately.
I’ve been seeing a ton of these sites spamming up Google’s search results lately. It’s super frustrating, and makes it so much harder to find things that I’m looking for. Luckily, uBlock Origin is good about blocking these pages if I accidentally click on one, but still, this is absurd.
Any time you see what looks like an auto-generated name for a website, or at least a website URL that doesn’t actual form a word, it’s a scam. Automatically. Every single time, it’s a scam. Stay away from that site. Don’t click on it, don’t hover over it, don’t even think about it, because before you know it they have access to your bank account. Just don’t risk it…
