Use AlphaBay with caution right now.

I have just received word that something fishy is going on at AB. I am just putting this out there. Someone who I have had words with in the past contacted me about getting some information out to everyone. I am looking into everything now. Verifying PGP and what not, and then I will talk to them some more. Use caution with AB for now. I am staying the hell away completely for now. Sorry if this causes anyone problems, but when I have people who aren't fond of me contact me to help them I tend to think their story holds water. I will update everyone on this as it unfolds.

So far I can tell you Alphabay is being accused of giving exit scamming/bad vendors in general new accounts to run game on their customers over and over. This vendor wanted to come clean to me without going public himself. The accusation is that AB is in on vendor exit scams. The are obfuscating the truth though. Right now this is all just words. I do not have real proof, but I am working with this group to see what the whole story is they want to tell.

If any of this is true, I want to bring Alphabay down to its knees, and I will by whatever means necessary. I am sick of all of us getting stepped on while these scams make people rich. I will be updating this thread.

And u/Trappy_pandora, bring it on. Let's hear what you have to say about this shit, You are probably pocketing btc. I sit here and make NOTHING for what I do. I will be damned if I will let you or anyone else make any thing off of this community's back. Everyone should know if you are involved with anything it cannot be good.

Everyone. Take this for what you will for now. I hope it isn't true, but no one can deny that something weird has been going on lately. Hell something weird is always going on, and 99% of the time it is driven by greed. Ok... that's all I am going to say for now, but I am pissed. If ANY of this is true you should be too. I have been told this group of vendors has reached out to others, and they have been ignored. This may go very deep or be bullshit. I will get to the bottom of it though.

Screenshot of my convo with the vendor:

This is all I have now, but just the fact this vendor of all people contacted me. They did know things no one else should know, but I still want to verify PGP. I will let you all know as soon as I hear something.

What's with all these shit posts claiming a bunch of bullshit as true with zero evidence? I'm inclided to believe evidence more then "someone I've had words with in the past" that litterally means nothing

I respect you, especially for using your main account. But until you provide some proof. it's just FUD :/

Please keep us updated with real info.


[5 Points] AnusDefiler:

Lol holy shit, this post is laden with ad hominem. Talking about wanting to bring Alpha Bay to its knees, personally calling out trappy. You have serious problems, lay off the meth and take some xanax. You need it.


[4 Points] SpecialAgentDildo:

The OP deserves a little more respect he has been an honest and active member of the community and works to make things better. He is saying to stay guarded and that he will try to dig for more info. You would have to be an idot to totally trust the site right now. It's a bad time to feel 100% about your tranasactions. My advice would be to use vendors you have a history with and stay far away from to good to be true deals from new vendors.

Meh, AB talk is getting super old. Vending/buying is high risk on that market and always was. If you are using that market, you have to accept the risk and don't be a whiny bitch when everything isn't on the up and up. I mean, they freeze accounts for 'fraud' with no explanation or message explaining why... expect to get fucked


[2 Points] AManWithoutQualities:

Use every site with caution. It's the fucking darknet.


[2 Points] NOT__LE:

All I can say is all you mother fuckers better not bitch when Alpha Bay exit scams because their is more fucking red flags with that market than a 4th of July Parade. All you defending A.B. need lobotomies to trust a bunch of credit card thieves. This men would card their dying grandmom if it meant thousands of more $$$ in their pockets.


[2 Points] coffeencreme:

To be honest, you should use every site with caution, always. Don't keep coin on a market, get it in, get it out. Don't use the same password for all markets. PGP.

As a buyer, follow the standard advice and you are likely to be fine. Vendors, you have a little more to worry about, granted.

ITT: New fags trying to bash on a trusted member of the community. most of you fucks weren't around when this guy was.

Let us know what you find DnmAvenger


[2 Points] Lucid_Enemy:

Idk I wouldn't redesign a whole site add features to pull out/raise my scam ratio.. But I'm not a market admin... Also trappy if you wanna put this shit to bed you should post a ratio of frozen to real accounts...

FUD & Bullshit.
And seriously dude? You've cried wolf almost everyday regarding something about AB and each time you look like an ass.
As I see it now your going to put u/Trappy_pandora out of a job because your doing more promoting of AB than he is. Even though it's negative all someone has to do is see the crazy rantings of a deranged lunatic who smoked some bad stuff.
If you were this hard at work with MEM and Abraxas you may have saved people some money.

all this BS is why I started to cop in RL again.


[1 Points] young_k:

I bet it is a "shenanigan" or something, and they are getting you to be the mouthpiece. The end result is you look gullible as hell. Why would AlphaBay need to be part of the vendors making new identities? I don't see why the vendor's would need AlphaBay to start another round of scamming on a new name....

I think it would have been more accurate to say use any DNM with caution right now and in the future as well.


[1 Points] TripAddict:

I've been away from AB for months now....

Use caution with AB for now.

This goes for every market....welcome to the darknet.
