Here's a new practice by AlphaBay, banning my account with a $600 dispute.

FINAL UPDATE These faggots banned me from the forums for opening two threads saying that I was banned for no reason.

So there you have it ladies and gentleman, alphabay is a scam.

So I've been actively trying to complain about a dispute that I had on my account for the past month and a half. The total amount of the dispute was about $600, and pretty much the vendor sent me reused crap that he tried to peddle on me. So for the past few weeks I've been waiting for countless retarded mods to even acknowledge they had picked up the dispute, and it was just message after message by me pleading my case. What do you know, I wake up this morning and waahlaah, I can no longer log in. I created another account to search up my old username, "emilormen", and of course the word (BANNED) appears next to the name.

The only active mod that was helping me was Trappy, and he was telling me to wait until today to get the Admin involved. I guess he said fuck it, I"ll keep the $600.

So all in all, fuck you AlphaBay, fuck you.

I would suggest everyone to pack there bags and move to another market ASAP.

EDIT: I posted on the forums of AB, and I guess the vendor "TrivialEngineer" is a paid shill, you can read his response right here:

EDIT 2: I will try to get a hold of Trappy since he is now banned from here, and apparently also in the midst of exit scamming is Middle Earth. I wouldn't be surprised if AlphaBay is contemplating this same thing. If Trappy gets a hold of me I will post the conversation here, but so far steer clear of AlphaBay knowing that you are expected to FE for anything now, as they will likely ban your account if the escrow money is greater than $500.

what is the world coming to when you cant trust carders with your money

"Reused crap"? What were you buying?


[18 Points] fuckcarders:

I'm sorry, but you totally deserve it for: A) Trusting that scummy/scammy site and B) Trying (and failing) to follow in their footsteps by becoming a piece of shit carder yourself. Hope you learned a lesson.

I had an eerily similar situation with AlphaBay, but my loss was far greater than yours, and I too believe that many of the vendors on there are actually mods on other accounts.

One of their top vendors, ThinkingForward, had sold me some fraud material well over the $2000 threshold, and of course low and behold he was selling the exact same thing to other members.

As such, once I discovered another user with the exact same materials as I did I filed a dispute on the order, and complained on the forums.

Wouldn't you know it but a few days later when they got their heads out of their asses, they quickly cleaned up the mess, banned my accounts, both market and forum, and then ignored my other pleas from several other accounts.

This is common practice on AlphaBay, and I have even heard other small time drug users say similar things.

Final Word: You are not safe on AlphaBay, or any other market for that matter, just a LOT less safe on Alphabay. My advice, get the fuck away from them, actually run away from them, and never turn back.

Rumor has it since most of the mods are fading away recently that they are planning to throw up a seizure notice onto their site soon, and pretend that tit was infiltrated by a government agency, and then run with the BTC, like Kimble and Verto.

It's a shame a lot of noobs don't even know about this subreddit here, the writing's been on the wall since they opened up shop. Hell, who knows if Verto and Kimble work for alpha02, or if they are the same people. Open 2 markets around the same time, run with one, then run with the other. 2x your money....profit.

Thank you for sharing. I had made an account with AB just a few days ago, now I certainly won't be using it. So, you did help at least one person. Thank you, and I am sorry for your monetary loss.


[5 Points] SpecialAgentDildo:

This is pretty sad hopefully /u/trappy_pandora will shed some light on this. I just signed up for alpha and will not be using it if there is crap like this happening.

Trappy what's the deal e o

alphabay looked sketchy to me anyways, i only put my coins on abraxas and middleearth


[2 Points] chef234:

Dude its fucked up but your drug dealers arent amazon. Holding up $600 in escrow when you want $16 back is pretty fukckin petty and entitled


[3 Points] toobadforkidstoday:

i want to hear what these jerks have to say, looked up your profile on ab, and yeah you're definitely banned

Man, I'm sorry to say this is nothing new. Trappy is the only one I have any respect for in that whole circus. I doubt he'd be the one to ban you. He has genuinely tried to bring my issues to the mods attention before, but he's surrounded by idiots and swindlers, and has very little, if any power. The way they've handled your dispute is definitely bullshit and the ban only confirmed what a lot of us already knew: they care more about money than running a market. I've just quit using them altogether because of the constant problems people post about and my own shitty experience. This douchebag Penissmith (if you haven't had to deal with him be thankful) told me on my dispute post right out of the gate "Feel free to post your messages with the vendor but know I'll be laughing the whole time", plus more childish insults. I don't know how many of these posts it will take before Alpha is taken off the market superlist, cause clearly people are still having issues with them. Wonder how the mods feel about this

offtopic, but the term is "voilà", not "waalaah".


[2 Points] tiddlywinks22:

That's some bullshit man, I'd love to hear what they have to say about this. I'm sure they have been doing this to other accounts, but maybe the others have spoken out like you. AlphaBay does suck, and what's funny is they had my vote after Agora disappeared, seems like they got lazy and bored.


[2 Points] None:

Why do people still use AB? Just use abraxas, I've never had a problem there, as long as you research who you buy from. Never bite the bullet.

WE HAVE BEEN IN A DISUPTE WITH THE MODS FOR 5 DAYS , we tried to refund the buyer (even tho there package landed on there end) .. and the buyer is now asking onionhood what is going on ... There is something really really really odd going on here ! and i knew for sure i couldnt be the only one .. but you have 600 .. they are holding me for about 3,400 of our funds (released escrow from buyers / and our f.e deals we do ) and proved countless time that we are not scammers .. we worked really hard to get to level 5 on alpha and its crazy to be treated like this , especially get my funds frozen because onionhood didnt like my tone and accused me of lying even tho i proved to him 2 time in 3 days that i tired to refund this buyer ... Then there fucking proof of anything but onionhood so trappy "offers that i give up half my fund and get striped of f.e (which i paid 300 to get and had to get approved by alpha02 to get it) its just utter bullshit .. ill admit trappy is the only one tiring to help after i messaged him in but thats it .. the vendor (me) and the buyer are stuck here in limbo while onionhood .. he literally froze our account on halloween night and has yet to say anything more than a sentence about anything .. if a subbreddit mod needs proof ive logged all convos and have screens shots .. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THIS IS HAPPENING TOO? sorry if my grammer isnt on point but to say i am angry is beyond an understatement

Now is the worst possible time to deposit any money onto the marketplace, the BTC price is shooting up, so I don't see any other better time to fade away into the mist. Do not use Alphabay!


[1 Points] None:

There is nothing new about this at all, AlphaBay has been pulling crap like this for months. New threads about it were posted every day at one point for months. Their support team ignores people for weeks, then act like assholes and almost always side with the vendor even when it is clear that they are scamming. Now it seems they don't even do that, they just ban a user if he has a dispute so they don't have to do their jobs. I can't find a single post about their behavior that is positive anywhere on reddit. They have even extorted users into deleting reddit threads about them and then banned them for "betraying AlphaBay".

How many more times do people have to get burned by this place before people take notice and stop using that carder market? How many more times does it have to happen before the mods put up a warning or remove them for the superlist? How many hundreds more people have to have their money stolen before something is done to warn people not to use that marketplace run by credit card thieves?

Also, they heavily censor their own forum and it is pretty much all paid shills, so I wouldn't recommend looking for any help there, OP.


[1 Points] alphabaysupport:

Just to make things clear: the buyer account emilormen on Alphabay has been phished, so he was opening fake disputes and claiming empty boxes. We banned it to protect sellers from fake disputes. This post comes from the phisher, not the real buyer. We have a policy stating that when a buyer enters his password on a site that is not Alphabay (no matter how similar it may look), we can do nothing.

TrivialEngineer took my money for a Refund Service, than screwed me over because I told him it was taking too long so I just did the refund myself. He then said he will ruin my life and ban me from amazon, who ended up charging me for a replacement because TrivialEngineer told Amazon some wrong full shit that almost got me banned. Not only did he get my money, he called amazon to undo my refund I got setup, and I can't even give bad feedback because he threatened me that he'll use my info and laughed. So I paid to get screwed. I REALLY want him busted, i want some shit to happen to him. Last time I'm giving any SE my info.

You've got to be really stupid bro to expect any type of sympathy from the druggies here. Also why the fuck would you be buying fullz from TF when everyone knows his shit is mostly reused. There's better vendors that sell better cards for lot less. And a message to the all addicts no matter what you think LE will lock you up, your vendor doesn't give 2 shits about you and would sooner sell you rat poison to make a buck and why cause your addicts that would suck dick on the corner for a hit. Addicts are the lowest form of scum.

That's just the risk you take when you use ANY market. Bitcoin, a instant payment method that is very hard to trace, unrecoverable payments. Use escrow, try to use tracking. Sorry bro, we all been there.
