Subject: AV Spare

When I search for parts on google I often get results from a website called AV Spare. I'm not sure what they do but they always have images of the most obscure things that I look up, they seem to also have shop manual excerpts that are often applicable to my situation but they are greyed out and they want you to register or sometimes download the file. I think this website originates outside the USA and I'm not sure if its legitimate or some kind of scam or a way to download a virus, has anybody used It or know anything about it?

AVSpare.com appears to be a Russian website that has put up a whole bunch of parts and technical manuals for U.S. machinery. I don't know if anyone has ever ordered from them - and I certainly will never do so myself. I suspect that the site exists to gather personal information from unsuspecting equipment repair folks who are looking for obscure parts.

The domain registration details for "avspare.com" show that it was created in 2015 by a service ("Whois Privacy Corp.") in the Bahamas that specializes in hiding the true ownership of internet domains. The website's server is controlled by a company somewhere in Germany. The DNS (domain name server) details for "avspare.com" show that all email about the domain get sent to "mx.yandex.ru" - a Russian email server. The DNS servers themselves are virtual servers provided by "cloudflare.com" which means they could be run by anybody from anywhere. Just about everything about "avspare.com" is suspicious.

Bottom line: Be very careful (paranoid) about using the "avspare.com" website. Have your computer's and browser's antivirus settings set as high as possible if/when you visit. If you do "register" consider using fake identification and a temporary, disposable email address.
