Note that some sites on the internet claim that all hitmen are fake.
That is not true. The majority of hitmen might be fake, but some hitmen are real.
Because they are concerned that individuals will hire actual hitmen, law enforcement seeks to deter people from hiring hitmen online.
When law enforcement closes some hitmen sites, they usually claim that the hitman site was fake, discouraging people from trusting other sites.
Many people use escrow to avoid losing their money. Some hitmen services put images of guns with papers with the site's name to trick visitors into thinking they are real.
Any legal gun owner that wants to run a hitman scam can just put images with guns and papers with the site name. That doesn't mean he will kill people.
Plus, it is very easy to Photoshop things these days and to add papers with site names next to guns, making it look like the guns belong to those sites.
