Scam the Scammer
Obviously a throwaway. This is from way back when SR1 (Silk Road) was still going strong. I was looking for a certain substance, but couldn’t find it in my part of the world for a decent price. Posted my request on the forum, and after a few days, someone messages me with an offer. For some reason, I accepted it and sent him around 200$. Of course, I got scammed.

I didn’t think much of it, but posted a warning to others about this guy, saying he scammed me out of 200$. A few days later I get a message in my inbox saying something like this:
“Hey, I am a vendor and this guy tried to scam me too. He just ordered an ounce of MDMA from me, and an ounce of sweet sugar crystals are on the way to his mailbox. Please send me your BTC address and I will send you the 200$ he scammed you out of.”
The next day I had my 200$ back and a deep respect for the dark web community.
TL;DR: Guys scams me out of 200$, someone else scams him of 700$ and refunds me my money.

I’ve never visited an ‘onion’ site and at this point I’m not sure if I would ever want to, but now I’m just a little curious. Couldn’t someone just use the Tor browser ‘sandboxed’ to connect to a public WIFI network on a basically ‘throwaway’ laptop containing no personal data to check it out? Then if sufficiently interested they might consider going the VPN route. (ps. I’m not remotely concerned about viruses or if the drive gets wiped… easy enough to format & reinstall the OS.)

To the author of this article (who isn’t listed). I’m very interested in this case (if its true). Curious as to why the PD wasn’t named or any geo location. Those two small things could make a huge difference if divulged. Also there’s almost nothing on Google pertaining to this. Classified cover-up or fabricated attention-catcher? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Such information has been cut off from public access long ago to avoid concussion unnecessarily.

I have spent some 20 years researching the aberrant mind through criminal behavior analysis and I consider my self quite adept in my field. I have seen the worst of mankind. But it’s difficult for me to comprehend the mindset of not only the individual who commits such heinous crimes against children, but those who would wish to see images and videos of the crimes pretending simple curiosity. I believe there’s more than curiosity here.
