On the dark web, as reported by the correspondent of Striscia Marco Camisani Calzolari, the most disparate illicit operations take place. Including a very dangerous scam.
The web is such a vast universe that it has even left room for other parallels. The dark web is one of them. A “submerged” part of the network, accessible only to experts or those who are disrespectful enough of the law to trespass into the illegal part of the internet-space. A world that is difficult to probe and even to oppose, a no-man’s land in which hackers operate and advertisements and services that are not very legitimate travel. An ethereal but extremely dangerous place, as remembered by Marco Camisani Calzolari in his report aired during Striscia la Notizia.
According to the web expert, the “dark” part is becoming more and more dangerous. Among the users who travel it, illegal services, illicit materials, “from drugs to false documents, even passing through homicides” would be exchanged. In the service, the correspondent shows some of these aspects, even revealing a new scam attempt, capable of literally emptying the victims’ bank accounts in a matter of seconds.
Scam, the trap of the dark web: this is how they empty the accounts
According to what was reported by Calzolari, it would not be just blackmail but real sales. For example, an account with a balance of 21,000 euros would be on sale for only 700 euros. “They also sell all the details for any verification“, He explained again. And not just checking accounts but other forms of money storage are being targeted. From stolen PayPal accounts to Bitcoin transactions. All potentially prey to hackers and scammers, who act illegally protected by difficult access to the dark web.

The scam of current accounts therefore becomes a criminal action with double implications. Not only does the unfortunate victim find himself completely deprived of his money, but also in the condition of not being able to recover it, except through very complicated operations by PolPosta experts. According to what was reported by Calzolari, on the dark web there would even be those who teach, for 350 euros, to transform Bitcoins into cash. An underworld in which practically any illegal activity is practiced. Some would even sell exotic animals, others even weapons. Imagine what could happen with simple home banking.
