The black market operates through proxy servers that run legitimate accounts and share access across multiple users via a web interface.
Wes explains how the proxy-based system works: sellers run multiple Claude instances on browsers and route user requests through them, but the experience is slow, unreliable, and limited in capacity. ✦ AI generated

What I've understood this to be is these are different instances of the Claude website running. So, they seem to have a bunch of browsers running and they're proxying it through. So, what they are doing here is they are proxying it through. So, they have a whole bunch of Claude instances running on a browser somewhere and they are running all of these different chats and keeping track of the chat IDs that belong to me and their proxy in the middle is they're filtering it out. So, they're using the same one over for multiple people.

3:53are different instances of the Claude website running. So, they seem to have a bunch of browsers running and they're proxying it through. So, watch if I click through to one of these, it will load up what seems to be and seems to look like the actual Claude website. So, I can go and I can look at some of the previous conversations that I've had. I can say who does he do a podcast with?
4:17This seems to be an actual Claude instance. So, I opened up the dev tools here. I looked at the network requests. Every single time that you click on something, this looks exactly like the Claude website. It's not just like a like a dupe of it. It the everything down to the JavaScript bundle names are exactly same. So, what they are doing here is they are proxying it through.
4:41So, they have a whole bunch of Claude instances running on a browser somewhere and they are running all of these different chats and keeping track of the chat IDs that are belong to me and their proxy in the middle is they're filtering it out. So, they're using the same one over for multiple people. I things like you click on the design and it just says not found and it will will lock me out.
5:04It was a very very crappy experience for me and also when I take a look at my dosage which I simply have run three or four chats so far, I only get 50 over the next 3 hours. That doesn't seem like a very high thing. So, for the 10 bucks that I spent on this, probably not worth it. What I'm more interested in is the actual $100 worth
5:28of Claude tokens. Does that actually work? Is it real? Let's dive into that. All right. So, my $100 worth of Claude credits for $8, how does this work? So, I clicked off over to the Chinese Notion and read the guide for newcomers and if you scroll it, you can you start seeing, "Oh, you can use it with the Claude code CLI, right? You can use it with Claude
5:49desktop. You can use it with VS code. Use it with cursor." And they basically detail how to use it with absolutely every single tool that you could possibly want. So, I thought, "Yeah, let's let's try it with Claude code first." So, I went over to the website that they give you access to, code.anyxml, and I inputted that ID that they gave me, and boom, $100 worth of credits,
