A YouTuber, known online as Tranium, has shed some light on the truth behind what is lurking in the chat rooms of the internet’s creepy corner.
Documenting the experience for his subscribers, Tranium uploaded a video to the social media platform.
In the video description, it read: “Today, I took a deep dive into what goes on inside dark weeb/deep web chat rooms.. I'm here to find out what people are like in such a secluded chat.”
Before his deep dive, Tranium warned his viewers not to ‘do this yourself’.
Entering different chat rooms, the YouTuber struggled to get anyone to talk to him at first.
But after a while of searching through the dark web, he uncovered some strange conversations.
One featured someone selling cloned credit cards and another person was looking for someone to harass a woman that had rejected him.
One person wrote that they were looking for a ‘black hat’, which is someone who hacks computers for malicious intent.
A particularly disturbing post that Tranium found read as ‘hitman needed’.
The YouTuber reacted by saying: “Oh my gosh, what a psychopath, dude that's crazy.
“He's probably getting hit up too, that's the f***ed part.”
One link wrote, ‘what are you doing here?’. Intrigued, the content creator clicked on it.
The note read: “What are you doing here? Go back, I tell you seriously go back, FBI is after you.”
Tranium’s viewers were shocked to discover what is lurking in these chat rooms on the dark web, with many of them taking to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions.
One user wrote: “FBI joined the chat.”
Another said: “The credit card clone thing was 100% scam like all the other marketing stuff on deepnet lol.”
A third person joked: “I lowered the brightness of my monitor, now I'm on the dark web.”
This prompted a reply from another user who added: “Don't forget to turn on dark mode. Then you are really on the dark web.”
