Dark Online: How deceived lovers of easy money
Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Some advanced users know that there is another online, its dark side. I am not referring to Tor. In the vastness of the Internet have a conventional boards, forums, hang out where people who have not quite legitimate services.
The simplest example - a cheap taxi. For 300-700 rubles, you will ride through the city from 1 to 2 hours in the car of the Comfort or Business Class.
At these forums, there are also other services: ordering of hotels discount of 50-75% of the official prices, air travel at a discount of 40-50% and more. Telegram Plus there are plenty of different channels, which is full of manuals on how to make very good money legitimate and not so legitimate means.
A person who for the first time faced with this, just mind-blowing. He understands that this is it - happiness, here are a storehouse of freebies! And the brain draws such amounts, from which dizzy. But it has a downside.
For every free-riders will be people who will be on it to make money.
In this environment, I am a person has experienced, but also falls for the bait. Below, I make out the three most popular fraud schemes.
Scheme 1. Double
On Web sites that offer huge discounts for hotels, flights, rental, there are people who are engaged in the organization of these services. Each seller (Celler) have contacts, which you can contact them. Usually it Telegram, ICQ, in rare cases, Jabber.
Fraudsters actively monitor such Celler and make their duplicates Telegram-channels. For example, Celler wrote on the forum contact your kind @travelvasya, fraudster registers @travelvasja and @travelvasyabot. In this case, your profile photo will be identical, plus the inscription in the profile "Orders are sent only here." A user who is looking for contacts in the Celler Telegram by nick, may not notice a dirty trick.
Celler also monitor and report their counterparts in their subjects that people with these nicknames do not write, because it Grifters. Fraudsters also monitor what is written Sellers' and coming up with new nicknames. Here's a cycle of nicks in the Telegram.
Accounts for several Celler in ICQ and Jabber periodically hack into, so you can write on those contacts that are given, but there has to a compromised channel.
Here is a typical example of a seller who described where he was hacked and where on behalf of the scammers operate.
Then a user who accidentally wrote the wrong place, begins to correspond not with those with whom it is necessary. He asks about what interests him. When the user has matured, it begins the most important thing.
A small digression: on every forum has a guarantor, through which it is desirable to carry out all transactions. The meaning of the guarantor in the following: The user agrees to certain services Celler, such as rent hotel for 50 000 rubles. The user writes the guarantor that he agreed with Celler on such and such date to rent a room in a certain hotel and have to pay a certain amount. Garant adds its 10% and exposes customer account 55 000 rubles.
The buyer transfers the money to the guarantor, the Celler says that money and got to work with. For the buyer this intermediary is the guarantor of security. If suddenly Celler not fulfill obligations and the transaction goes wrong, the buyer will get their money back for net of guarantor Commission as Celler receive money from the guarantor after fulfill all their commitments. That is, the buyer has a rest cheaply and then writes the guarantee that everything goes well, and sends the guarantor of 50 000 rubles Celler.
Now we go back to the scheme of divorce. Buyer and psevdoseller agreed that the cost of services will be 50 000 rubles. When the scammer knows that the transaction is 100% committed, his task - to dissuade the customer from the guarantor services. He offers to give an additional discount, for example, in 5000 rubles, and explain to the buyer that he is profitable. Buyer understands that he, at first, took a cheap hotel, and secondly, more and receive a discount, so transfers the money directly to the fraudster.
The fraudster to an hour X pretends to be working, and then disappears. There are people who just disappear and cease to get in touch.
Buyer began to write personal messages on the forum real Celler: "Where's my voucher" Celler he explains that he has with him no negotiations are not conducted. And then the buyer realizes that greed fraera ruined. In this case, the police will not go, because the buyer broke the law too.
Scheme 2. Take me as an apprentice
This scheme is common in Telegram. Its essence is simple. It created a channel, which allegedly neizvesno hacker lucky carder (one who works with payment cards) talks about earning schemes on the Internet, divided life hacking, talks about the safety and well Further. He through other groups that are engaged in the dissemination of information, promotes itself, thus attracting new subscribers to your channel.
Everything that he says, can be found on the Internet if you search well. Schemes really work. If you read, then to implement them need a lot of time. After pressing a pair of buttons on the keyboard do not wallow money from the sky.
Of course, this person says that in this way he earned a lot of money - up to 300 000 rubles per month, but now, these schemes are not interested in it, so it merges them.
Bleed the channel and escalate the situation there, the hacker suddenly satisfied attraction of unprecedented generosity. Messages appear as follows:
Here is a group, in which 34 534 people. Of these, it is carried out ten most agile. Maybe more. Next resets every 75 000 rubles. I saw the course and for 300 bucks, and for 100 000 - all depends on the greed and group size.
And then it tells newcomers supposedly exclusive information, which actually is not. Just out of different kinds of materials with expanses of the Internet, you can create your author's course, have average perception of security in the network, understand the scheme of carding and sell a training program right and left.
According to the experience, to understand the security, carding, parcel shipping methods, purchase of material exchanges, setting up your computer, you need a week. It is 3 hours a day for a man who knew nothing at all to this.
As a result, people selling things on the public price of the supposedly exclusive hyped Telegram-channel.
Scheme 3. And Sweden, and the reaper, and the dude igrets
Allegedly registered forum on the dark side of the Internet. The user gets to see it and the branches, which are divided into wage schemes, sell any services. In appearance cool forum with a bunch of those reviews, its guarantor. But in fact, it is engaged in filling one or more persons. All reviews unauthorized users strictly moderated.
The main objective of this forum - this promotion a few issues on which there is a fraud.
Here is an example of such a forum:
But one thing for which it was created:
The idea is this: there is a shadow forum, where a lot of useful information and have the opportunity to buy, for example, Apple equipment at a discount of 60%. It is the dream of all! Or fill up your card with the benefit of other people's money to 60%.
And then the game begins one actor. With one you negotiate the purchase of equipment or of charging money on your card. Guarantor, who is also the seller, you unsubscribe on the transaction and send the money, and then neither money nor technology.
In this case, after the transfer of funds or all of your messages put on the pre-moderation or block your account.
I hope my article predosterezhot those who are chasing a freebie and easy money. Seasoned advice: do not meddle wherever not necessary. Free cheese know where.
