I need your help: please boycott, report, and block the NikonRumors.com copycats


Several readers have already asked me if I am related to a bunch of other Nikon Rumors websites with a similar domain. I am NOT. There are a few NikonRumnors.com copycats that are stealing my content and copyrighted photos on a daily basis without a permission or a credit to the original source. These websites never reported a rumor in the past and they will never report one in the future. The only reason these parasites exist is to steal and make a quick buck before the readers realize the fraud that they are.

If you don’t visit these websites and don’t give them any clicks, they will disappear like the plague. Please consider boycotting them and spread the word. Report them on social media, forums, and Google and block their accounts. Tell your friends and share this post everywhere you can. Unless you see nikonrumors.com in the link, do not click it. Thank you, I really appreciate your help on this matter.

Several major forums and blogs have already blocked the fake websites. If you are a forum moderator or a blog owner, I urge you to do the same. Email me if you need more information.

For all other rumor site “wannabes”: you cannot be a rumor site if you have never reported a rumor. Let it go. Try something else.

The “real” NikonRumors social media accounts are: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Flickr | YouTube.

The email subscription is here and the RSS feed is here. The Apple/Mac widget can be found at apple.com. Make sure you also visit the NikonRumorsForum.
