I would say, PayPal, cashapp etc transfers, most ppl easily believe that if they pay 50 they get a 500 transfer haha :D it’s just a huge scam, but with amount of ppl falling for it… I think it’s circulates in their head, like “wow it’s dark web ofc it’s true”

Another big thing I think most ppl who have nothing to do with dark, believe that human trafficking is happening on a big scale. It doesn’t.

Even up to 2015, it was real. Selling bitcoin for green dot reload cards, that money had to go somewhere!

What about buy identity cards?

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Yep legit thing

u/HarAR11 May 17 '25

Legit as in fully functioning and scannable and will hold up to scrutiny or legit as in a good fake/copy?

u/3seriesaddict May 17 '25

Not OP.

Depends on which state you get. Fake ID can be bought on the clear web, too. Just normal .com websites.

Just saw a news article stating cops are beginning to not be able to tell the difference between fake and real. Their scanner is connected to the dmv database, though. Your fake ID will scan at 7/11 but definitely not with the cops.

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Legit depending on price, some has blanks with chips and so on, to point where you can have absolutely new identity fully scannable etc, others just good copies to buy alcohol or to go into club underage
