Do not use AlphaBay!! I just lost all my vendor money I earned

Go to AlphaBay's help desk part of their forum. Scroll a few pages until you get to the green resolved threads. There you will find page after page after page (there are almost 500 pages) of people losing their entire balance due to the pin system. Their problem is "resolved" when the admin says "tough shit, it's our money now, RESOLVED!". In my case my correct pin did not work for 5 times which froze my wallet. Even though the admins are capable of fixing the freeze they will not because they say the rule is you must have your mnemonic phrase that was provided during account creation (a year ago). I did not bother saving that ridiculous long list of words because I knew there was no chance of me ever forgetting 111111 nor any chance of that phrase surviving my many laptop switches. So i am out all of my earned bitcoin which amounts to thousands of dollars all because my CORRECT pin did not work which then froze my wallet which cannot be unfrozen without some long phrase provided a year ago. Just look at the 500 pages of complaints in their help forum guys.

EDIT: SixPathSage has contacted me and said he would reset everything for me. If I do get access and funds back then I will come back here and state that I was just a whiny little bitch that should have given admin more time to deal with my situation. Until then I am sticking by my complaints.

EDIT 1/9: I am still locked out. I still haven't been helped.

I legitimately feel bad for this guy. Can we please remove alphabay or at least put them on the active warning list because of all these reports?

THEY JUST BANNED MY ACCOUNT!!!!! I posted a public complaint about them and then they banned my account!! They took all my money!


[17 Points] DumbVendorQuestions:

Chalk it up to the game, seriously, you'll thank me later. I can't name you the amount of markets that have taken thousands of dollars from me, individually.

I had a similar situation on Nucleus with a few thousand in my wallet.

I had this exact situation on alpha with eleven hundred or so in my wallet.

Same with middle earth, but it was only about $800.

and don't even get me started on the exit scams.

The amount of bitcoins taken from me by market administrators is easily enough to support myself for the next 12 months.

If you stay angry about it, you're going to hate this place more and more. Why the fuck do you think I'm so bitter every time I log on?

I'm tired of computer nerds taking my hard earned internet money.

there shouldnt one more single word of bitching from people losing money using russian carders drug site as their personal bank account.

everyone has been warned plenty of times with the hundreds of posts here from people losing $.


[3 Points] SrslyNotACop:

Dude why would you not write down your pneumonic phrase?!?!? That's there for your protection specifically for this reason. If this was on any other market you'd be saying the same thing, yet this is absolutely your fault. Your pin is five ones? What, is your password just password1? C'mon, guy get real. You fucked up and should've been more careful. Lesson learned. Use the fucking tools given to you to recover your account lol


[5 Points] aballdayz:

You forgot your mnemonic. I did the same thing and was out $750. Shit happens cut your loses. And next time if you continue vending, make sure you create a new account and write down your mnemonic. Best of luck.


[3 Points] undeadhead420:

all of thisCRAZY shit all of you guys keep posting about alphabay and SOMEHOW losing money, until this happens to me i will continue to use alphabay, because i deposit money probably twice a week and its perfect transactions every time never any problems. you guys are doing something wrong


[3 Points] dnm_review_573:

I'm sincerely sorry about all this Symetry... I was patiently waiting for you to restock. Just saw that you had put up your listings a few days ago and I had almost given up hope that you would bring back your MDA to the market. We don't have many domestic vendors of MDA and would hate to lose you!

I wish Agora admins would quit enjoying their hookers and cocaine and come back and make another market under a new name or something. Such good moderators :(


[2 Points] Dnm_cunt:

They'll just ignore any messages from you from now on... It's that easy for them to just take your shit and not give a fuck. And it's happening all the fucking time on AB. It's happened to me and will happen to the next guy soon.

I can't blame 'alphabay' as a whole but there are some dirty thieving mods on there that just can't help themselves.

Sort it out AlphaBay you slimy cunt.


[1 Points] niggerplease2:

just sent u a msg boss, get back to me. fuck these fucking markets and how they think we are all just bitches and slaves to steal from. fuck that, i refuse to be a pleb for some anonymous asshat to get rich off of. I simply cant afford market bullshit anymore, i will only deal direct with good vendors, would rather take my risks with them alone than involve a useless third party. the amount of money i as a BUYER have lost from the markets in the past 12 months is bordering on like 2-3k. That is simply unacceptable, if I had the product from those packs I would easily have had 5k or more in gross profits after all was said and done.


[1 Points] diOpAnonMu:

If your pin was 111111, isn't it possible someone broke into your account?


[1 Points] None:

I've never had a problem with them, they seem like the best market right now. I know there's a lot of hate for AB on this sub though


[1 Points] Throughawayup:

I just logged on for the first time in a few weeks and it gave me a mnemonic. I don't remember that ever happening before. Why.


[1 Points] None:

Dude, the last sentence makes you cool as hell.


[1 Points] ninjawizard13:

I'm guessing they didn't care for the way you publicly complained about your problem. Bad advertising can cost you money... 'The problem is not the problem. The way that you handled the problem is the problem...' And that is why I have a list of all my mnemonics written down ;) Good luck, I hope you get everything worked out.


[1 Points] FrozenMCVegetableCok:

I've had my pin changed on there without warning before. "admin" was nice enough to reset it for me within 24 hours but I haven't bought from the market since.


[1 Points] 1ReviewReviewer1:

Im sorry man, thats fucked up. I hate seeing legit vendors get screwed over like that. While I can't give any advice as to how to fix this AB situation, all I can say is you should maybe check out DREAM market. Not as much activity as some of the other markets, but at least they don't screw you over.

Hope you get back on your feet man


[1 Points] Dnm_cunt:

Notice how Trappy and other mods NEVER comment on these posts... There's so many of them and they still contribute between the scam accusation posts...


[1 Points] somefucktookmyuname:

You're an idiot. You didn't save the mnemonic when it was made clear you need it. You have forfeit the right to bitch.

You did this to yourself. Next time, have some common sense and write that shit down on paper.
