I already posted this, but the mods of r/darknetmarkets are being unresponsive (despite making posts after I messaged them) and this is serious. I deposited 1.6 btc, tried to withdraw it and they just took my money. Just flat out took it. Balance is zero, and I can't cancel the withdrawal.
I messaged Gandalf and at first he said that it would take a week. That's BS so I asked if I could just purchase something. No response. I check the forums and many people are saying the same thing. Some guy said he lost $10, another lost $2700. Many people including me lost amounts in between. No response from the admin to most of them, besides an all caps rant to one person. Some people even report having their accounts cancelled with no return of their money! Don't take my word for it, look at the forums/gandalf's page yourself.
If you have coins on there, I suggest spending them, perhaps even on an FE purchase so that it's not in their escrow. Do not withdraw as they will just take it. At least with a purchase there's a chance of the vendor being paid (doubt they can withdraw) and you getting something.
And please, mods, make an official warning. You are being very sloppy with Havana and ME being scams and yet Havana has no warning and ME's appears much less serious than it actually is. Sorry for spamming, but I'd rather annoy some people and save others' money than follow the rules of reddit.
UPDATE: I managed to get my coins released "early". I still can't believe this happened in the first place, I've been buying since SR1 and have never had to deal with so much bullshit. I still recommend no one use this site.
I really don't see why ME just doesn't implement a fee for withdrawing without purchasing.
Like <6 hrs withdraw would be 4%
6-12 hrs 3%
12-24 hrs 2%
Over 24 hrs 1% or free
Also, why would anyone use a DNM to tumble anyways? Seems to defeat the purpose.
