Recently, there has been an increase in cases where fraudsters and drug dealers use fake advertisements for "found mobile phones" to lure unsuspecting users to illegal websites, including Kraken and other darknet drug trafficking platforms.
Such advertisements may appear harmless:
"Found a phone! Contact me if you lost it!"
"I'll return it to the owner – follow the link!"
BUT behind this phrase often lies a link to a darknet site where
prohibited substances are sold. Following such a link carries criminal
liability, even if you just "clicked to look."
What to do?
— Never follow suspicious links from random
advertisements.
— Do not leave your data on questionable resources.
— Report such publications to social media support and law enforcement agencies.
— Warn your friends, especially young people – they are frequent targets!
Drugs ruin lives. And "harmless" curiosity can be the beginning of great trouble.
