Dark Web Anti-fraud: Exposing scam sites on the dark web, the fraudulent dark web weapons store “Black Market”

A year ago, "ODN" exposed the dark web gun store "TOR GUNS", a realistic-looking gun selling website that is actually a pure scam site. However, there are too many similar scam sites on the dark web for the netizens to guard against. Recently, netizens from the official Telegram group of this website reported another dark web store: "Black Market", which claims to sell and buy guns, but in fact, it is also a scam site that has been continuing to defraud for several years.

Surprisingly, Black Market has existed on Onion666 in the "Online Trading" category for years, and despite the skepticism in the comments, no one has reported it or complained about it until yesterday, when an anonymous user claimed it was a scam. It was not until yesterday that an anonymous netizen said, "It's a scam, you pay for bitcoins and then you don't get any after-sales service or products" and "It's a scam, I've got my bitcoin payment records here and I'm keeping them, it's really a dead dog thing". On the same day, a user from a telegram group said, "Exposing a scammer's darknet, no response after paying bitcoin," and pointed out that the darknet The link to the site came from "Onion666".

"ODN" visited the scam store "Black Market" on the basis of the address of "Onion666", the scam website - Weapons Shop. The dark web onion domain name of "Black Market" is:

http://weapon5dj7fwz2zaqa22fqeaqrauclim5kfvecegphrvxeywxoa3wuid.onion

The V3 domain name starts with "weapon", but the name of the store is "Black Market", which is a bit of a misnomer.

After opening the site, it is a very simple home page (index.php), which is also a guide page, and the scamming tactics are also very simple:

This is not a darknet marketplace with many vendors, but just a store. According to the experience of "ODN", for a darknet store, the more products it has, the more likely it is to be a scam site.

By selecting a product at the bottom of the product page and filling in information such as name, email address, and address, you enter the payment page (confirmation.php), which is actually the page that provides the bitcoin address and allows the purchaser to make the payment. Although "ODN" has repeatedly warned everyone, regardless of the dark web or Telegram, the first payment is always a scammer. Obviously, the victimized netizens have not been educated.

The payment page also has a customer service e-mail address: [email protected], but of course, it's just for show.

In addition, "ODN" found that the fraudulent website also has a talk page (info.php), and the thirteen points of the so-called purchase instructions of the fraudulent darknet gun store "TOR GUNS" are similar to a question and answer, which are commonly used by fraud groups to confuse people and increase trust. It is a common fraudulent terminology used by fraudulent groups to confuse people and increase trust, and it is quoted for everyone to learn:

After analyzing, we can see that the fraudulent darknet weapons store "Black Market" uses PHP language development, only 4 pages, the website function is extremely simple. However, such a small website was able to cheat the netizen out of 550 dollars worth of Bitcoins. Once again, history has shown that the dark web needs to be cleaned up by the defenders of justice like "ODN"!

There are a lot of netizens who try to buy guns, ammo and all kinds of weapons on the darknet and Telegram groups, but if they can learn more about China's strict legal regulations and tight courier mechanism, they will most likely be able to dispel this idea, or else they will only be cheated.

According to the information provided by the netizen, the fraudulent website assigned the bitcoin address: 3H7TtqoP1DM9AQequHppBaR8jF8s7yZew5, the transaction hash is: b1d3f64da4bfa608eb2506ff8a5aebe3e04bfac4496145d7e3d3183b5b89089c, at present the fraudulent 0.0094 bitcoins have still not been transferred, this site will continue to pay attention.

In view of the fact that the darknet does not have any regulation, fraudulent websites are gathered, so for all the darknet websites provided by "Onion666", regardless of whether it is labeled as "confirmed fraud" or "suspected fraud", even if there is no marking, it is not easy to believe. But we do not believe that "Onion666" is complicit in any of these scams.
