Alphabay user extorted into removing "Alphabay are thieving mofos" thread by Alphabay Support

Despite the money still being in the hot wallet, and orders being active which means they could have been cancelled and given back to the user the admins banned the user for making a public post about it. Then extorted him to delete the thread because it made them look bad. Here it is in its full glory.

Original Post

Dont use Alphabay biggest thieving mothers out there! i made a mistake And send over 3 btc to my last deposit address. I forget the address changes after deposit. but Anyway i message to Admin as soon as i realize my error.

His reply here: http://anony.ws/image/De3m

He tell me money went to other users account because Alphabay reuse addresses. And he say other guy spend my money except 0.55 btc. Then he ask like do i want the 0.55 btc back? Is like him mocking me. So of course I say I want that back and i want it all back because its my money. And then nothing he stop responding to me and not give me anything.

Sorry for bad english but please read my warning. Alphabay are thieves and will take your money. It cost me over $700 lesson so learn from me for free.

editing: And now they lock me out of my account! i had a pgp 2fa enabled on it so they cant say is a phishing. i bet they lock my account because i posting here they dont want truth coming out!

hahaha - i totally knew someone would repost that shit. you can't just expect 100s of people to ignore an issue just cause you extort the OP to delete it.

We aren't all your bitches alphabay.


[22 Points] QLDGreat:

This isn't the behaviour of someone who's in it for the long haul. When will people wake up and realise that Alphabay are just waiting until they've gained as much market share as they can in order to exit scam?


[12 Points] None:

Its far from fud its blatant extortion and censorship of a reddit member.


[7 Points] OpiLuvr:

I'm wondering if alphabaysupport is penissmith, since we all know he can be a dick!!


[7 Points] noonehear:

Saw this coming when I saw the name "penissmith" a few days ago. Wonder how long until exit scam?


[6 Points] MO_Drugs:

what a bunch of lying, crook mother fuckers!

There is NO opsec advantage to reassigning the wallet to another in-house customer! On the contrary it would make everyone more culpable and return zero benefit to anyomevfff. That would be like a pawn shop owner forcing everyone in the shop to handle a pistol he to took in that morning. Suddenly a guy that stole a 20 out of his chicks purse because he wants a nickle bag for his head has instead left behind solid, DNA proof that he - at the very least - has a direct financial involvement connected to some serious bad guys!

Nah. Alpha Bay did not reassign the addy. They jacked that dudes coin and are lying mother fuckers. 100% for sure

I was the biggest supplier of PPMC codes on Evo before they went down. A lot of people know who I am. When Evo went down and moved over to AlphaBay, the AlphaBay admins admitted to me that the passwords were all saved in plain text (this could be different now) and they used my username and password to hijack my jabber/icq's. Yes I know it was my fault for using matching passwords but didn't think they would fuck with me like that. Ordered me to pay like a $1500 bounty and said, "oh that's crumbs for a big vendor like you" for them to unban my account and to give my chat accounts back. I told them to fuck off so they made up some bullshit about how I was scamming users and banned me on Alphabay and continued to scam users using my chat. Sounds crazy? I have proof, just ask me. It's been a while tho so I don't really care too much but these guys are complete ass hats and should be avoided at all costs. I swear it is run by prepubescent teens.

Exactly, and thank you for reposting this. I don't ever comment on DNM postings, and I use Alpha a lot, but that post PISSED ME OFF. He got mad and posted about them because he wasn't getting help when it came to at least the money left over, the .55btc. Then after they saw his post, they thought it'd be OK to say, now we retract our offer of getting any of your money back. WTF, lol...

A mistake made by a user; user contacts support for help; support says there's items in processing(why can't they cancel these just amuses me); there's .55btc left also; support has no problem with the other person spending all those funds, cause it's not their fault they re-use addresses; user waits and continues asking support for the .55 btc at least back; support doesn't respond; user makes the post about Alphabay; User gets told, you won't be getting even the .55btc back, we won't be helping you, and you'll be banned now!

Don't you dare say anything about Alphabay, and if you make a mistake, you better be ready to take it in the asshole, because if you say one thing about them, they'll make sure you do, and make sure they don't help you, cause that's what adults do!

Alphabay has got some serious damage control and bouncing back to do after this week.


[3 Points] opiatesownme:

Seriously, FUCK ALPHABAY. They need to actually have some ounce of respect for their customers. I lost the password to my account I had 88$ in when I was about to make the purchase from my favorite vendor BobaFet and I posted about it on the support forums like it said. Turns out their policy is "you lose it? too bad we won't help" and I never got it back.

I also later saw that the money had been taken out of my alphabay account so I'm assuming the admins took it knowing I couldn't access it and that's just fucked up.


[2 Points] None:

Am I the only one amuzed at the people saying "he did not follow rules". Seems AB is their new authority figure.


[1 Points] TripAddict:

to be fair...you DID send it to a different address. That was your error. It says right there on the banner, there is no guarantee to get your coins back. But yet again they still didn't send you the 0.55 and also locked your account for the public post.


[1 Points] None:

This is to the facist pigs at alpha bay where not gonna take it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4xmckWVPRaI


[1 Points] None:

it must be scary to be a vendor nowadays knowing that any one of these days could be the day you lose a shitload


[1 Points] ass_lick:

yaaaaaaaa I definitely don't trust alphabay at this point.


[1 Points] Admin_First:

I guess you guys missed the whole fiasco were penismith doxed a member and extorted him for money in a effort to suppress it.

They are hiding under a wave of "phishing" to steal money from the poorest of the poor...Boycott AB, Until they change the situation and stop robbing us.


[0 Points] AlwaysDankrupt:

so you sent your money to a wrong address, and then were mad at the admins for not getting your money...?


[-2 Points] booeyspread:

Waaaahhh Im a dumb junkie fuck who can't read simple English and lost 3btc waaaaahhhh. I'll be glad when agora reopens so you junkies and fiends can go back there and stop fucking wining. AB has become a noob fest with a bunch of crackheads that can't or won't read three listing. Myself being a vendor has to constantly refund and ban the fuctards who can't read simple directions. You junkie fiends act like your entitled because you don't card or fraud. But here's a little secret....the cops will bust you as well as us junkies!!!

[-15 Points] DeadIn10Months:

OP is a hysterical bitch who gets gathers his army of multiple screen names to downvote opinions he doesn't like. Worse than what Alphabay did by a lot. OP doesn't believe in personal responsibility but LOVES censorship.


[-13 Points] None:

wow another fud post lmao


[-26 Points] alphabaysupport:

I will post what I've posted in every thread regarding this. This will be my only and final answer regarding this post. This post should get FUD label rather than Market Complaint.

The user deposited coins after 7 days (almost 10 days), despite the big red bold warning on the balance page that says to not deposit coins after 7 days. It was entirely his fault. Alphabay re-uses certain addresses after a while, and it turns out that this one got reused so another user got the coins and bought drugs. I was under absolutely NO OBLIGATION to help him, but I did it because I understand that 3 BTC can be a lot, and because FUD was starting to get on our nerves.

Vendors agreed to cancel the orders. We offered him to remove the post, in exchange of a 2.9 BTC gift (money recovered from the canceled sales). This was our offer, and he was free to accept it or not. He accepted it (like any human would do), removed the post, and that put an end to the story. We both came to an agreement, so let's just forget about that story.
