Divorce drops and their secrets

[BadB]

A dropper is a person who supervises front men (drops). Since this text is intended for users of a darknet forum, there is no point in explaining basic things in detail. For example, who are drops and why are they needed. I think every visitor to shadow resources has seen ads for the sale of debit cards, wallets, companies, accounts.

In most cases, such actions are carried out by front men - drops. Most often, these people register accounts, records or entire enterprises in their own names quite consciously. For example, it is not difficult for an experienced dropper to find a homeless person, a chronic alcoholic or a poor stupid student who is ready to give up a bank card for any "dirty" scheme. Such drops are called non-scammers, since they understand that their identity is used to cover up something illegal.

But there are cases when people who are not even aware of their role in it are drawn into illegal business. This happens for the following reasons:

• The scheme being implemented is too "dirty". For example, if we are talking about some kind of extremist activity. Drops and drop-drivers are unlikely to risk signing their own death warrant by providing cards for some radical group.
• Non-divorced drops are most often people from the lower social classes. Such "partners" can deceive, fail to fulfill obligations, commit some kind of offense on their own, as a result of which the entire topic will be under threat. For example, an alcoholic who sold his card may forget about the “deal” the next morning and report it as lost.
• Non-scammers realize that they are being used for not entirely legal activities. This often forces them to doubt and deceive the dropper. For example, a student, having seen the amount received in a wallet opened in his name, may be afraid of responsibility and write to the support service about the hack. Or take the money for himself, being sure that the droppers will not write a statement to the police anyway.

Is it possible to replace regular drops with adjustable ones?​

In many cases, yes. Even a smart person can end up as a drop without even realizing it. Here's one example:

When I was a student, this story happened to me. I was looking for a job or a part-time job (legal). I met a lawyer. He said that he was looking for an assistant. The duties were limited to the function of a messenger: send documents by mail, pick up something, deliver to clients. After I completed several tasks, I was offered a meeting in a cafe. In addition to the "employer", an unfamiliar middle-aged woman, a kind of "business lady", came to it. She immediately said that she was looking for a responsible and decent manager for her new business. Like, I want to open a store, but since I hold a high position in government agencies, I can not register the business in my name. The wholesale supplier is her relative, but the retail companies will be registered in their own names by the managers. In exchange, she promised to teach the nuances of marketing, accounting and much more. She named a low salary, citing a lack of experience. But she promised to give a percentage of the profits in the future. Of course, this interested me, a 20-year-old student. Of course, what a chance to prove yourself and get a position in a large company.

I agreed, and a couple of days later I signed the charter and other documents to create an LLC. Another day later, its "head of the legal department" brought me to one of the bank offices, where I signed documents to open an account. After which they gave me 10,000 rubles "advance" and a couple of books in the spirit of "How to Manage People" and "Accounting for Dummies".

The next day, the "manager" set the task of talking with a local landlord about renting a space for an office. She gave me the contact and asked me to sort everything out quickly, because I needed to get to work. I arrived, they showed me a room, gave me a contract. I called the "manager" back, voiced the terms, received approval. I signed the contract and went to meet her. During the meeting, she seemed to read the text carefully several times, frowned, and asked if I had read what I had certified with my seal. She was very "outraged" by the fact that the terms included clauses like "the owner of the premises can evict the tenant in case of a delay of more than 3 days." She was indignant that I had signed such an unfavorable contract. And then she set a condition: until I completed legal and accounting courses, the seal would be kept by her, and I would be obliged to coordinate all actions with the owner. "Otherwise, before you know it, you'll lose my money, or even worse." Of course I agreed, because it's so awkward to feel that your inexperience has caused a conflict with management.

As you may have guessed, I never saw the seal again. They didn't want to talk to me for a month, citing that there was a crisis now, many other problems, and that the project launch needed to be postponed. And a month later, the tax police knocked on the door (there used to be such a service). As it turned out, huge amounts of money had been siphoned off my company's accounts through a dummy deal. And I was facing a real prison term for tax evasion. Although I didn't understand until the very end that I was being deceived, because it seemed like it was impossible to deceive the director of a company whose only property was a desk, a computer, a printer, and a couple thousand rubles in the account.

The most common way of "recruiting" scam drops​

The simplest method is a job offer. People look for vacancies because they feel the need for money. Therefore, psychologically, it is easier to persuade them even to risky offers. The main thing is to play out the situation interestingly.

When I started trading debit cards, I bought them honestly at first. I sent out ads on the Internet. Few responded. But the main thing is that the drops often began to doubt. They blocked the card, wrote that they were afraid and were ready to go to the police, because "you never know."

And then an idea struck me. What if I were to take a card from a person under a far-fetched pretext? I posted ads that I was looking for workers (couriers). To pick up and send letters and parcels, payment - $ 10 / 1 trip. When I met the "worker", I demanded that he go to the right bank and open a card under the pretext that the standard bank is not suitable. Then I gave several meaningless tasks. For example, I asked to print out some "contract" and take it to the post office, sending it to a random address.

A week later, I honestly sent the courier his "salary" (about $ 25). A week later, I wrote that I had sent another salary. But then I received the answer "nothing has arrived". Okay, I said, maybe there is some problem at the bank? Let's meet, I'll pay in cash, and bring the card with you, otherwise it will be inconvenient to pay like this every time. The "worker" brings the card, I take it under the pretext of "need to show to the accountant, check the details". As a result, the card goes to the customer, and for a couple of months I feed the courier “breakfast” about the fact that there is no work now, because he is sick or busy expanding the business. But the tasks will soon be there, and at double the rate.

Of the 10 cards sold this way, 9 successfully served their new owners the entire warranty period. The costs were the same as when working with non-diluted drops.

How to come up with the right legend​

Beginning droppers often scare off drops with suspicious offers.

Looking for a person to cash out money. Everything is legal, clean and legitimate. No risks. You accept money on bank account, transfer to crypto. Your 50%.

Who would believe such a story? Only a very simple-minded person. After all, in the ad:

• Scary words sound (cashing out, crypto).
• "Legality" and "legality" are mentioned too often. This means that there is definitely some kind of deception.
• Too high a percentage is offered for an unclear service. If everything is really "clean", then why is a person ready to give 50% at once?

And this is how you can remake the same ad, causing a minimum of suspicion:
A vacancy for an Internet exchange operator is open. Responsibilities:Consulting clients.Problem and dispute resolution.Technical support of transactions.Payment is piecework, possibly as a percentage of daily revenue (up to 10%).
Now, having supplemented the legend with some details in a personal conversation with the applicant, you can convince him that we are engaged in the exchange of electronic currencies. And since the service works in manual mode, all transfers must be done by the employees themselves. Of course, from personal wallets, because the rules of most EPS prohibit transferring control to third parties. Since everything is legal with us, there can be no talk of any 50%, 10% is the maximum, otherwise the exchanges will be unprofitable for us. And do not forget to be in touch from 9:00 to 21:00 and communicate politely with clients, otherwise we will fire you immediately. We are a serious company.

Briefly about the main thing.​

Each scheme for attracting drops is unique. It is impossible to come up with a universal way to breed dummy people. But it is worth listing the main secrets:

• The legend must be plausible. Everyone has encountered scammers at least once offering participation in a pyramid scheme, network marketing and other scams. Phrases like "unique chance", "you will become rich", "successful success" cause an immediate negative reaction. If the basis of the legend is working as a courier, you need to treat the drop as a real courier. Talk a little condescendingly, offer an average market salary with small "goodies" like "if you work honestly for a month, we will raise your salary by 25%." No mountains of gold or a share in the authorized capital of Gazprom.
• People are more likely to trust acquaintances, even if the acquaintance took place on the Internet. It makes sense to add potential clients as friends on social networks, and write to them in a couple of months.
• Illiterate speech, jargon, and obscene language raise suspicions in many people. Try to communicate politely, in an official style, offer to sign a contract, refer to real companies (even if they do not belong to you).
• The drop's task should be formulated as precisely as possible to avoid surprises. For example, when applying for a card at a bank, an employee may ask what the card is intended for. And if the answer is "they asked me to apply for it at my new job," he may well warn that the card cannot be transferred to another person. A couple of such questions, and the drop himself may suspect something. Therefore, it is better to polish the scheme yourself in advance, looking for what pitfalls come up and how to avoid them.
• Scam drops can bring more problems. A drug addict selling a wallet for a dose will not run to the police. He does not need such problems. But a deceived "employee" or "partner" will easily do something nasty in revenge for a lie. Therefore, you should carefully take care of the anonymity of the dropper.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that scamming drops is a bad act from an ethical point of view. After all, this can create problems for people who are not involved in the shadow world. But in such matters, everyone has their own conscience. In any case, social engineering skills and creativity allow you to attract those who can be useful to work, although they would never agree to help darknet dealers of their own free will. So let everyone make the choice between the result and conscience for themselves.
