Dark Net Markets - Every one a Scam -

Hi Folks. I have been around this forum and it's reincarnations for a while. Also watched from a distance the rise and fall of many dark net markets.

Out of curiosity I spent an hour or so visiting a bunch of dark net markets and every single one was a scam. I could not find a single market in operation that was not a scam.

Any forum members have any insight into markets that are not obviously a scam?

Thanks All..

elysium, drughub, dark matter, abacus, and archetyp are all reputable markets

which markets are you looking at that you think are a scam?

there are legit markets but there is sooo much noise. it’s hard to find those markets actual addresses. i got taken for some $$ bc of it (my own dumbass fault, always ensure the addresses line up.) if anyone has a list of the actual links that would be stellar…

Call me old school (and I am) but I really miss the convenience of the "open air" market I used to live 30min from. Straight to the point, no scams, waiting for delivery, bitcoin, order minimums, etc. You didn't even have to look for it and there it was..Within 10 min Hellen Keller would be on the nod lol

Hi.

Was using search engines on Tor to find markets. I think on reflection that was a bad idea. Was looking for products that came in quantities of 9m, .357, 22lr not considering any purchase more of a fishing expedition really so I did expect to come across a bunch of sites that directed you to Telegram accounts. To be fair some of the scams were quite good. Relatively low purchases prices but then the scam starts with additional fees around shipping. 100% refundable insurance and that type of stuff. I was impressed with a few of the scam markets. Quite easy to replicate if you know your way around a bit of html and php. An example of one was Courier Market. They have PGP and Escrow making it look legitimate if you were a bit of a noob..

honestly in my experience tor search engines have mostly been unreliable since like 2014, I have to keep reminding myself they even exist. usually your best bet for finding reliable links will be the subdread for any particular market.

I'm willing to pay someone for a market that's not a scam... I agree every market i went to was a scam.. If anyone know a good one and who like to share it. I will pay.

don't pay people for publicly available information - 99% of the markets listed on daunt.link are reliable.

Just keep in mind, obviously any market is only as good as it's vendors.
The safest markets are still gonna have a few bad apples manage to sneak in here and there plus good vendors go rogue all the time (sadly).
