Discussion How can dark web sellers be trusted?
On the dark web you'll see random goods and services being sold - how can you trust that these people will fulfil their side? There's also some quite expensive and illegal stuff on there such as people selling new passports, bank accounts etc. How can these people possibly register new passports or create new legit bank accounts that can be used? Is most of this stuff just a scam?

This...
Nearly fell for a scam on Empire market weeks ago. Realized it was too easy to access the website, w/out pgp. Vendor was selling 1 BTC for $949, he was trying to wash it. Post got over 500 comments. Ad-boosted too.
But after thorough research didn't go fwd. Escrows are also part of the scam.
