Dark Web Users, Have You Ever Felt Like You Were In Real Danger?

serious dark web users of reddit was there ever a point in your use that you felt you were genuinely in danger what happened one time i got twice the amount of drugs that i actually ordered was paranoid for about two hours and then i just got really high and it was fine once a friend ordered a sample pack of 10 pills from a new vendor and got shipped 1k pills everyone who ordered got this surprise this led to friends devastating addiction to xanax which led to black tar and m which led to a rock bottom that you only read about he's been clean and off the dark web for four years now though i once bought a bit of weed and i received a blackmail letter threatening me with awful things like sending cp and calling the police if i didn't send one btc one thousand dollars at the time i was scared shitless but nothing ever happened always check the reviews before buying anything dang boy should have invested in bitcoin a friend of mine used to use silk road on the darknet when bitcoin was ten dollars a pop he placed at least 100 orders through it and never had any issues it's a shame he didn't keep all the bitcoin he bought because he would have been a millionaire now i'll never forget when btc jumped from 13 to 150 over a few months i've used the dark web once or twice scariest thing was when my screen went black for a few moments and turned back on wasn't anything big just my display cable freaking up but it did give me the creeps as for dark or disturbing crap i've only found a list of random addresses the dark web really has a lot of stigma associated with it for the most part it's just people curious about the dark web or people trying to scam you or sell you drugs you have to do a lot of looking to find the really fricked up stuff you're more likely to find dark web type crap on reddit or youtube than the actual dark web in college some friends and i ordered a 100 sheet of acid using bitcoin to our college po boxes we got pretty terrified when it didn't arrive when it should have we thought it was found by usps our own mail service or the d we were paranoid turns out they just shipped it later than they said we got our 100 tabs but that was a very stressful week and a half for all of us i might have been one of those friends i feel like this has happened to quite a few people i was trying to buy those super cool laser pointers and i got a random message saying i know where you live i noped out of that site straight away not drugs not a fake passport a cool looking laser pointer respect accidentally stumbled upon some cp once noped out pretty fast but was still worried for weeks the fbi would come after me the worst thing is you can stumble across that crap on regular p sites too i stumbled across some pics once on one of the more well-known sites and there was no freaking visible option to report it i don't think i've ever been so disgusted in my entire life came across a chance style site every post was about trains well didn't say i felt in danger but i felt so out of the loop that i was missing something that i just got off had a buddy who used to order weed the distributor got busted and the postal service let him know there was a suspicious package for him he could either pick it up or it would be destroyed i own a fairly rare car that had a rare error code i looked it up on google and there was only one other person on the car makers forum that had the same error and this guy took months and months going back and forth between car shops and the forum thread to try to get the issue fixed everyone on the forum was pitching in to try to help him so i kept going through this long forum thread to try to figure out if he ever fixed it and suddenly there's no more replies from the guy everyone was scratching their heads for a while we thought he had maybe gotten the issue fixed and didn't bother to update us on it then one day a news article popped up about a really rich guy who died in a thai jail cell and then we connected the two stories and they matched up the same make and model of the car in the news article matched up with his car and they were both claiming to be in thailand at the time so what happened was that that same guy who was still talking on the forums got raided by the thai police around the same time he stopped replying to the forum turns out that he was running one of the biggest dark web market places where drugs were being sold and exchanged it had something like one dollar million in revenue per day and he was hiding out in thailand while living in luxury they found him dead in his jail cell a few days later they claim he died of suicide i suppose you are talking about cases funder of alpha bay the dude was stupid enough to use his real email at the one he was using for linkedin and all legal businesses taxes etc to send welcome messages to people who signed up on the website everything feels government owned i used to frequent drug sites they would go down four weeks at a time then pop up again have weird prices sellers were different it made the dark web feel like a labyrinth more than a ruleless wasteland idk if it was a dark web that accidentally came across a website that was basically just pornhub but for gore i saw a couple seconds of a man with his hands already chopped off getting his face peeled off by some sort of cartel and nope the frick out i had to take a break from the internet for a couple of days dude i've seen that video fricked me up for a while those screams got me bad i was a casual orderer of the dark web for a while and got pretty big into it and started buying slightly bulky packages of drugs if you knew the markets for a while then you would know one called alphabay was the best of the best the amazon of drugs and fraud would be its best description however it went down mysteriously one day and everyone assumed the owners just scammed everyone for their bitcoin partially true but in the background it was actually c's the d everyone flocked to a new site called hansa which had some sketchy design features but it was the next best alternative turns out the dutch police took over the site and with cooperation of multiple governments ran a drug distribution onion site with over a million dollars of transactions for around a month they were gathering information from unsuspecting users including me who bought with faulty security practices now this is where i started freaking out imagine trafficking drugs through the mail and the attorney general at the time jeff sessions makes a speech live on television that he was going to crack down and explicitly explains how fricked everyone on hansa was because they have been gathering data for over a month and in a big dong energy move closes the site and puts up a banner in its place saying everyone who has purchased will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law during his live speech i was crapping myself for a month as many arrests did occur but luckily i guess i wasn't important enough and nothing happened to me my friends and i were once ordering some green off the dark web on the way we saw a dude selling cyanide don't ask me how i got it don't tell me what you'll use it for violation of either condition will void the sale okay i mean honestly that's like super easy to get in comparison to a lot of things i'm pretty sure i could find some regular websites online that would send it to me if i claim to be a biotech lab of the likes be safe boys and girls don't give out your information or communicate with others and if you plan on purchasing anything use a secure linux os like tails use private keys connect to a public wi-fi spot not your house encrypt all messages use multi-signature market so your chances of losing your bitcoin lessons escrow preferably never send your bitcoins from a wallet attached to you directly to the seller tumble your coins first and when the package arrives don't open it for a few days a friend of mine gave me all this info and told me i should help you guys out every time remember that the person you just bought drugs from knows one your address two that you have drugs in your house three there's probably evidence of dark web using your finances computer trash they can rat you out with impunity just because they're feeling malevolent they also could just get caught and be careless with destroying ex customer information so it hangs over my head to this day not the modern dark web but back in the days of usednet i posted some harsh clh criticism in alt religion ceptology yes that was a typo for scientology but i'm leaving it for context of a bunch of posts the online threads were funny but when i started getting death threats by mail i backed the frick off i posted a bunch of criticism of the cos in the usenet group alt religion scientology this was in the late 90s and well before most modern forums and content aggregators like credit existed farc was the big one and dig was just starting to get popular i was high school for non-americans grades 9 12 i was in high school and was using my home computer as an ftp server for a juarez group on ike because i convinced my dad to sign up for a 90-day free trial of this new thing called broadband i had three megabits per second down and 1.5 megabits per second up of course we never cancelled it they figured out who i was by using a cute ftp vulnerability to get root directory access to my pc the death threats were bad enough but what really sticks with me is the malice of deleting my family photos including the last picture is us with my dad whole he was alive i was the typical invincible feeling young adult and i was more concerned about worrying my mom than i was about my own safety this was long before doxxing was a thing and online threats going from email to handwritten letters was terrifying but as a high school kid i never would have admitted it nobody asked but if i was confronted in person i would have fought back 18 years later if they really held a grudge and threatened me again with the same malice expressed in those letters i got i would open the door with a gun in hand and if they tried to get in i would assume that they were intending to kill me and shoot first this is a serious post so as funny as it would be to accept the previous statement with the autocomplete error crap first i fixed it yes scientology is a dangerous type of cult and unless you are prepared to go full in position and burn them all at the stake it is better to stay far away they have killed and will kill to protect the organization there's hitman human trafficking and snuff films and such but a vast majority of these sites are scams asking you to send them bitcoin a small portion of users on the dark web would be there for this sort of stuff however buying drugs online is quite popular and widespread single vendors can have 500 000 plus in lifetime sales it's quite safe to use you use pgp to encrypt your address so only the seller of the drugs has access to your private info if your package is seized you have no proof you ordered it unless they seize your computer and you have that information stored on it you can use tails usb to avoid this even if your packages get seized you'll often get a love letter saying what they seized and there is no follow-up after that don't frequent it a lot but once i accidentally left my browser in full screen and a stranger in a chat room asked me if my curved monitor was nice freaked me out a bit i was once in an anonymous chat room with a made up name and all that i guy dm me and ask what's it's like to live in the city i did i nope the frick out of there webcam turned itself on once that was scary i immediately unplugged it and my network cable rang three complete scans of my system for malware and viruses found nothing hasn't happened since a bit of electrical tape over the camera pinhole works wonders i found a chat room advertised as true free speech platform all political opinions welcome to discussion i thought i could go there to debate with nazis who were willing to say whatever they want without repercussion it was really just a place to post child pee nothing but child pee every user was sending links to three or four pictures at a time or commenting on pictures the rest of them sent there were dozens of users i disconnected my laptop from the internet and deleted my tor browser this breaks my freaking heart i've never personally felt i was in actual danger so to speak since i take proper precautions but early on i did accidentally come across a site forum while exploring that was filled with snuff photos of women people had assaulted and then knocked out or killed shut down my browser pretty quick after that but felt uneasy for a long time after i actually learned how to access the dark web by listening to npr they had a segment where an author who was writing a book about it basically gave step-by-step instructions on how to do it i did everything he said and by golly it worked truthfully it was pretty underwhelming mostly just drugs and counterfeit items passports money etc i did find some weapons with the serial numbers scratched off pistols and shotguns but nothing that would start world war 3 i also saw a couple ads for hitmen but they seemed pretty hokey and were most likely undercover cops i never felt in danger but i have never gone back because there's nothing i really want from there no government agents have kicked down my door either the scariest moment for me was when i stumbled upon a creepy argument thought it was something much more sinister until i found out it was just a nog the dark web isn't really that scary it has been romanticized and exaggerated by creepy pastors tv shows and etc i know stuff like the red room and cp exist on the dark web it's just that it is not that common most are scams or require a membership the common user won't find much but you will find something really off-putting if you dig enough you don't just stumble onto the scary parts of the dark web you had to have been looking for something sinister if you happen to come across one of the sites even then getting access to said sites isn't as easy as most of them are invite based most of it is just the normal internet with questionable forums think 4chan but slightly worse and petty drugs it's very hard to reach the criminal parts of the dark web unless you have very specific urls and even then the host has the option to deny you access however once you're in it can become a slippery slope i'm willing to bet 99 of the sites you just stumble across while browsing the dark web that talk about scary things such as hiring hitmen money laundering hacking whatever are just there for shock value there are several such sites on the first pages of onion link lists that have been up for years if they were real law enforcement surely would have been able to track them down by now the idea that the dark web is an extremely shocking and dangerous place is largely inaccurate it's mostly weird libertarian blogs and very sterile amazon type websites for drugs complete with reviews of different vendors i remember my friend showing me where he bought his drugs online and seeing how well kept informal it was like you said it really was just an amazon type website for drugs with friendly and thorough reviews even saw in red at the top something along the lines of website name moderators will never ask for your password i was pleasantly surprised to say the least so i had ordered many times on the dark web but one day i decided to place a rather large order of xtc pills from europe to the usa i had a terrible feeling in my gut after the order was placed and actually had some serious food poisoning or something that tonight lol cut two weeks later i ended up getting arrested for the pills and enter in the worst time of my entire life not really a dark web user but i got doxxed by a nianzi group on the dark web and ended up having to use the dark web to find the websites that had my information department of homeland security and the fbi showed up on my doorstep because they were threatening to send me letter bombs and send people to abduct and army it was scary crap they all fell of the face of the earth recently so i'm just hoping the feds got to them i hope everyone who saw this took this as a reminder to not frick with people and mind yourself online scary world out there man scary crap they all fell at the face of the earth recently they found a new person to torment the only real difference between the internet you and i are using right now in the dark web is that you need special software or configurations to access it you have plenty of opportunities of finding bad crap on the regular web with that in mind i'd say that the regular web is more dangerous since it lulls you into a sense of security i mean most people these days have a significant amount of their personal information on there the dark web you're likely going to have a sense to be more anonymous personally i just used it for playing a while private server back in the day since the hosts didn't want to get a c d from blizzard the clarinet is totally more dangerous most people don't use tor to browse it so fear missing out on an incredibly powerful protection tool [Music] not dark weather but i used to work for a disabled guy he'd been pretty badly disabled for 20 years and spent most of his time gaming and watching films he was there early on when torrenting file sharing started he even said that he'd top some lists of most prolific downloaders worldwide in the early days could be bragging i don't know he told me he'd only ever had any issues once he downloaded a film for his kids snow white and the seven dwarfs he was in the habit of checking every film before he let his kids watch but didn't this time just hit play he looked up at the screen after a minute or so to see a snow white themed child p video playing one woman seven kids etc he didn't go into details or say how much his kids saw just that he freaked out exited the file and then went to the bathroom to throw up religious silk road and cgmc user here i used to get the stuff delivered to my dorm but the package didn't come directly to my room i had to go pick it up from my dorm building office for my third or fourth order from silk road i got an email saying that a package had arrived for me but when i went to pick it up i was told by aura that my package was in the door's office i was freaked out i also for some reason was getting a lot of spam calls which added to my anxiety i was scared shitless i didn't go to pick it up for like four days and kept getting emails from the door to come pick it up i didn't go because i thought that it was a setup but after a couple days i said frickin because i had paid a lot of btc for that order so i went to pick it up it was literally nothing the people holding on to my order couldn't have been more nicer they couldn't give me a reason why that package was delivered there and not to my dorm so i just kept ordering more lol the package was usually delivered by usps priority which is ran by the federal government and i went to a state university so technically the federal government transported illegal goods to the state government for mila mayo not dark web but mid-90s web i was 12 and obviously puberty was in control this was chapped room days kid i was acquainted with an eagle scout nonetheless had all these floppy and i mean floppy disks full of pornographic images from some but also pedally in texas me and a few other friends were over puberty so were eager to see naked women it soon took a quick turn with girls that were likely my age i immediately nope the frick out and never really talk to the kid again but knowing the boy scouts i wasn't getting involved but i was like 13 and didn't even want to tell my mom i was interested in women i regret that day a lot i should have called the police sadly i just compartmentalized it 1996 was weird and i mean floppy also frick that yeah no but a woman in my hometown hired a hitman on the dark web to kill my neighbor thankfully she was arrested and it was prevented someone who isn't me was on a drug marketplace once where h crack c sometimes pcp are listed but if you're experienced you don't even bat an eye what that person did see once were pills pressed from the residue powders that ostensibly covered the press these included mixtures of m fentanyl xanax moly amphetamines ghb crap is scary because you have no idea what exact ratios the mixture will be composed of and with heavy hitting high od potential drugs like fentanyl everyone wouldn't be surprised if that particular listing led to multiple overdoses this is the craziest crap in here bc it sounds real just something someone who wants money would sell and not care if it was safe i occasionally check my spam mails folder so i found an email with one of my passwords a subject it totally got my attention on reading it it said he was able to got into my laptop by installing a malware last time i visited rp sites and has few videos of me that he captured from last last 15 days including a masturbating video which he will forward to everyone on my contacts if i don't pay him some two thousand dollars of bitcoins i was sweating for 10 minutes before i decided to check i have a bad memory so i save all my passwords in the browser on checking it was the previous password which was mentioned in the subject mail on checkinghibs.com i realized yahoo server was exploited some two months back and this guy might have got the password from there anyways there is no point in negotiating with a blackmailer he will just send another email with more money next time so i'll let it go i never received another email like that again yes this is an infamous scam email that has been around for years i got the same thing the other day not really it's just sometimes some creepy crap on the dark web forums i have seen more disgusting things on 4chan to be honest other than that you have to be specifically searching for that crap and even then it's hard af there is no one search engine but many and with different results the dark web is general dull most of the site is just for dealing drugs other than its dull not to say that there is not some interesting sight on there the dark web isn't that bad it's still mostly just normal stuff and occasional criminal stuff or scams like hitman's or whatever murder debauchery torture those things can be found on the surface web easily liver league reddit and specific gore sights aren't hard to find i never felt in danger using the darknet but i did almost lose everything to it i started in the alphabay days then dream and eventually empire which to my knowledge is still operating to this day i ordered everything and anything mainly out of curiosity i wouldn't say i had a problem with anything in particular until the day i ordered crystal m fast forward a few years later and i was slamming it and using daily i almost chose m over my wife and two beautiful boys and no one was the wiser besides eventually my wife no one at work knew for the most part i was pretty good at hiding my youth although i feel like i would have been caught eventually 69 days sober today i still struggle but life is better if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
