Hi DNA Community.
I've been hanging out on this forum for a while now and noticed a few things I wanted to share about avoiding scams on the Darknet.
First off, watch out for users like
@jamesmarvin who constantly spam forums offering "Certificates, ccs, Dumps, PAYPAL TRANSFERS, WU," etc. PAYPAL and WU TRANSFERS are almost always 100% scams. Think about it - why would a real hax0r or carder offer this when they could keep all the money themselves? It's like someone giving you $5000 for free and you only giving them $500 in return. It doesn't make sense, right? They'd be losing $4500 for nothing, literally, they are not Mr Beast or Elon Musk lol.
So, when you see offers for "PP WU BANK etc TRANSFER," it's most likely a scam.
Now, when it comes to ccs, dumps, or bank logs, some are legit, and others aren't. Here at DNA, all verified sellers are legit, especially if you use the DNA ESCROW for protection. We can't control the entire Darknet, but my best advice is to use escrow and contact an admin if needed.
If you're dealing with people outside this forum, here's a tip to confirm if they're legit:
When they give you their BTC address for payment, say something like, "Okay, I'll buy, but only if you accept my money through escrow. I'll send the funds, provide a verification link, and then we can make the deal." If they respond with excuses like "sorry man, you can't" or "we can't accept others escrow due to rules," etc., they're probably scammers. Over 90% of the DW are scammers or exit scams, so pay attention to details.
Here are some more tips to avoid scams:
1. Avoid forums, markets, and vendors that use WhatsApp numbers for contact. These are usually small-time crooks from Asia or India who think they can get away with scams by using their country's contact numbers. A legit vendor or marketplace would never use WhatsApp if they had any sense.
2. Stay away from onion sites and markets that only list a single Bitcoin address for all transactions. Follow this rule for markets while adding funds: One time Bitcoin address for one transaction.
3. When buying malware (like ransomware), ask about the technical aspects, coding and development process (videos and or screenshots). The details shared during these conversations will reveal if the seller is trustworthy.
4. Always remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Use your common sense.
If you're ever unsure about a website's legitimacy or vendor, feel free to ask me. Stay safe out there!
