This is an incomplete list of community-reported scam sites that pretend to distribute or sell jailbreaking and unlocking tools/services. (There are many other scam sites not listed here yet.)
If you see a site selling jailbreaking or unlocking software (or asking you to do a survey before downloading), it's a scam. (Companies make money when you fill out surveys, so they promise a jailbreak to get you to fill them out.) Scam sites may also provide free fake tools that actually install adware or other kinds of malware in order to make money from you. Some legitimate forms of unlocking are not free - third-party IMEI unlocks and SIM interposer devices both cost money - but ultrasn0w is always free.
In general, please consider: is what the site promises too good to be true? Does it promise a new jailbreak for the latest iOS version, when nobody from trusted sources (such as well-known blogs or Reddit or developers on Twitter) is talking about this new jailbreak? When a real new jailbreak gets released, huge numbers of people talk about it - so if you find something people aren't talking about, be very skeptical and check trusted sources.
Please contribute to this list if you find a scam site. By listing them here, we can help people find good information when they search Google for more information about these sites. If your site is listed here and you believe that's a mistake, you may contact an administrator to request removal.
These domains were once owned by trusted jailbreak community members, but at some point they failed to renew them. After a grace period, a domain that isn't renewed becomes available for anyone to purchase. Therefore, the contents of these websites can no longer be trusted.
Most commonly, expired domains are simply used by their new owner for spam, making use of its existing search engine ranking to generate revenue. Google considers this a form of abuse that provides "little to no value to users". Such domain ownership can, however, be used to leverage community trust in the former owner to deliver scam or malware content.
What would you recommend? I need something light enough that will not hurt or cause pressure after wearing them all day. I have an Impact headset which works great, got gel cups, but after 6 hrs they still caused pressure and hurt. Tried electronic ear buds, but they crapped out after 6 months, and you could not turn the amplified volume down which was a pain when listening to amplified chatter when you are ready to shoot. Looking for something extremely light weight that is amplified and can be worn all day. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
There are two problems with amplified hearing protection. First, the NRR is often too low. Second, the response time of all analog and some digital devices is so slow they allow the leading edge of the sound wave to get through. Then there is how they were tested and measured. For example, I have four ear muffs. Two are amplified and two passive. The highest NRR passive set reduces my a claimed 30dB. Yet one of the electronic muffs with a rating of 26 blocks more sounds when turned off.
After trying lots of combinations I've settled on the following. I always wear a pair of NRR 33dB disposable foam inserts AND I insert them correctly. When I need more I put a set of electronic muffs on over them. That gets me up to 35+dB reduction. The foam inserts are very comfortable and I hardly know they are there. I only put the muffs on over them when running Open shooters, etc. I take them off when not needed. BTW, I highly recommend digital electronics with a response time of 1 to 5 milliseconds.
Peltor TEP-100 or 200 for me. Been using them for years. All day battery life (though my first pair started only holding about 5 hours of charge about 4 years in). With the skull screw tips they are good enough to shoot and RO open guns. Not so much indoors though.
Doesn't really help you but I was just mentioning today that it would be sweet if electronic ear pro had a one button quick on/off that you could just hit to shut off when your on the line, then hit again to turn on when you're done.
I have bad hearing loss in my left ear due to Army service. About 10 years ago I had an audiologist make me custom ear plugs. They stuffed cotton balls down my ear and injected silicon, and then polished it up. These have loosened up over time (maybe shrunk, I dont know) but I would recommend this route. In Iraq, I had a ruptured an ear drum after an rocket hit my house, and then again when I got hit with an IED so one ear is a medium surefire plug and one side is a large surefire plug. this custom route worked out best and blocks out sound better than the sordins or peltor comtacs Ive been issued over the years. I think the set was like 50 bucks so well worth it over the surefire ear pro I was using before. I wear muffs at matches when Im up to shoot to preserve whats left of my hearing in addition these custom plugs from the explosions, MG fire, and other hearing hazards over the year causing damage.
Most of this is exactly spot on... Except, the truth of the matter is ALL currently available electronic ear pro is bad, and even a response time of 1 to 5 milliseconds is way too slow to prevent the transient sounds (like a snare drum crack, or a gunshot report) from causing hearing damage. All electronic ear pro works off of electronic and/or digital compression/limiting to do what they do, except the compression/limiting algorithms they incorporate are basically s**t compared to what they'd have to be to truly "catch" a transient sound before it could do any damage. It really doesn't matter what you spend on electronic ear pro either, whether $50 for the Impact Sports you see at every match, or $350+ on the latest bluetooth enabled rechargeable earbuds, they're all a bit gimmicky in a way, since they might let you hear range commands easier or allow you to pump tunes from you iPhone into them, but none of that is actually protecting your hearing as best as possible.
Lastly, but importantly, the Decibel scale doesn't work like a "normal" scale, it's not "1, 2, 3, 4, etc" or like the volume knob on your stereo, raising in a linear fashion; every 6dB is perceived as TWICE AS LOUD, so the difference between 26dB and 33dB means the 26dB NR ear pro is letting sounds through more than TWICE as loudly as 33dB NR ear pro.
For the best seal, most protection, and all-day comfort, nothing beats custom plugs though. Custom plugs have as close to a perfect seal as one can get (they're molded to your ears after all), so while foamies can work great, 33dB NR plugs that fit poorly or walk out aren't delivering 33dB NR, a good seal delivers what it's capable of 100% of the time. Also, custom plugs allow air to move into your ear more like "normal" (no plugs), which provides spatiality and directionality so you don't feel as "plugged up".
While pricey, I use and can recommend these: -impulse-custom-ear-plug (if one wants to be able to change filters; though, I usually just end up using the Total Block inserts for shooting), or these if you want a KISS option: -block
The custom plugs with the filters are pretty much the only available way to just attenuate enough to hear range commands and such fairly easily (-15dB NR) while still being fast enough and providing more noise reduction to catch dangerous transient sounds (-33dB), but $185+ for plugs that work with a passive system is a hard sell... "electronic" sounds way cooler even though it isn't.
Beware though, all "custom earplugs" aren't created equal, if you can buy them at Academy or online, or get them made and wear them the same day, then they're not even close to the real thing. Don't get fooled thinking a set of "custom earplugs" you can pick up for $30 and mold yourself at home is even anything like real custom plugs, they're not. If you have to first make an appointment to get them, and then some guy/gal squirts stuff into your ears and then tells you to expect a package in 2-6 weeks, than they're probably legit.
