Alphabay asking for my private pgp key to verify a purchase...

I made a purchase and it was listed as processing. I then clicked another alphabay link in the feedback which was for another vendor. Just because of curiosity. I then get asked for my username, password, pin and mnemonic to verify the purchase. For some reason that didn't alarm me too much. I then proceed to a page that asks me for my private pgp key, not my public...

Luckily I didn't fill that in and I got weirded out by it. Kept the page open but put the computer to sleep though.

I haven't been on the dark net scene for too long and was wondering what was this about? Should Iverify the purchase? Do I lose my bitcoin if I don't verify it? What do I need to do?

Cheers guys and girls.

I don't want to alarm you too much, but I feel like there's a high likelihood you've already been phished. You entered your username, password, pin and mnemonic on a random link you found in a feedback section?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but there's a 99% chance you've already been phished and your account is already compromised. The page was asking for your private key in case you had 2-FA set up, which would allow them to bypass any 2-FA protection and spend/send coins from your wallet. Unless you had 2-FA set up I'm afraid any coins you had on the market are probably gone.

For the sake of curiosity, mind posting the link you followed here? It should be easy enough to verify whether it was a legit alphabay link by comparing it to those listed on the superlist.

Oh good you didn't enter your private key. Let's not worry about Username, password, and fucking pin

You got baited lad. Never enter any info that asks for your login & pin on the same page. Change all ya shit or rip that account

Only scammers would ever ask for your private key. Same goes for your pin other than to confirm a purchase during normal AB use.

No login page will ever ask for your PIN or mnemonic. Since you gave them to the person who phished you, your account is lost. Before making a new one, read about "phishing" and smarten up.

You got phished out of your AB account. Lucky you didnt type your private key or else all accounts could've been compromised
