AlphaBay having problems with deposits?

Is anyone else having problems with deposits on AlphaBay? "Admin" sent me a reply when I messaged them on AlphaBay telling them I have problems, and he said they are having deposit problems and gave me a BTC address to deposit to if I have emergency business to make (he would credit my account manually). Should I trust this? Or how long will my deposit actually take?

This is not acceptable behavior. Bitcoin sends pretty reliably as long as you don't do anything stupid like make an address typo, or other user error. That you're having deposit issues means you are likely being "phished" and are interacting with a fake AB onion. No one in their right mind would send bitcoin to an address after a message like that.

Please copy and paste the .onion URL that you are using here so we can tell you whether it's phishing. DO NOT SEND BITCOIN TO THAT ADDRESS. If you already made a deposit and nothing's showing up it may be too late and your money is gone.

In the future you should always use the .onion addresses listed on the Market Superlist on this sub. I won't even copy and paste it here. Do this every damn time you log into a market. Take the time to visit this subreddit and only visit the exact addresses on the Superlist.

Hate to break it to you though, your emergency business money is likely gone already. :(

You cannot message admin directly, only staff can. You have been socially engineered and stolen from by an unscrupulous individual posing as admin. Please PM me on the market with a link to who messaged you so that the account can be banned.

We are not having deposit issues.
