“It is impossible to make a definite conclusion whether the offers for the sale of vaccines on the dark web are a scam or whether buyers really get what they are looking for. Some of these ads have had positive reviews. It can be assumed that as a result of some of the transactions, people actually purchased the desired product. In theory, this is possible because unused doses are sometimes left in hospitals around the world when a vaccine package is opened. However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to get a guarantee that all the conditions for the correct storage of the vaccine were met.
Fake vaccination certificates are also sold on the black market. For example, a corresponding European-style document costs about 20-25 US dollars. In addition, in some countries, a certificate of the absence of COVID-19 is required, for example, for going to the office or business trips, vacation trips. In the Russian-speaking segment of the darknet, its cost is estimated at 3,500-5,000 rubles.
