Is Alphabay running scam accounts?

I just can't think of any other logical explanation. One look at these accounts and you know they're fake. But what gets me is that AB approves them for FE. They HAVE to be aware of them.

Want some examples?

First up we got "mr_maserati". An FE approved, level 3 vendor with 13 feedback, all positive. /user.php?id=mr_maserati

I'll let the pictures of his feedback speak for itself.

Next up is Alice4you. Level 3 vendor, FE enabled, 21 feedback, all positive, all from last month. Coincidentally, Alice4you registered THE DAY BEFORE mr_maserati.

/user.php?id=Alice4you.

(missed like 4 or 5 feedbacks in the screenshot)

A buyer said that Alice was his old vendor from Evo but I couldn't find anything on this. Ran the PGP through grams and this person doesn't have history of selling on other sites.

Also note that there are quite a few repeat people leaving feedback.

And next up we got SpecialDelivery. Level 4 seller, 32 positive feedback, 3 neutral, 3 negative, FE enabled. And guess fucking what! REGISTERED 3 DAYS AFTER mr_maserati. March 29, 2015.

This is only the first page. Again, you can go through his feedback and you'll see lots of repeat people leaving feedback and lots of feedback that is posted at very close to the same time.

Now I posted about specialdelivery before and paged /u/trappy_pandora, however, he never showed. https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3sic16/specialdelivery_on_alphabay_reviews/cwxhw1m

I found these 3 accounts on the first page of benzos. They all have hundreds of orders yet I've never seen an actual review posted about any of them on reddit. Didn't bother going through the other categories because I'm tired but if anyone sees any others please post them.

Alphabay had to approve FE on these 3 accounts. Everything about them points to them being scam accounts. They're either dumb or scamming.

I saw those same listings a while back and also thought they looked fishy... maybe we can get some clarification about them.

You trippin man, wait for them fucking crackheads on this sub to show their unbelievable brain atrophy by commenting that this is not relevant. Just look through the comments on this one:

HEllo ADmin gets 3,5% on every purchase. He doesnt care what the fuck you sell, fake, real, don't matter. He's working on his exit scheme too.

Ok you're reaching a bit far on this one.

But watch out guys, a few padded accounts must mean that Alphabay is going to exit scam any day now. Isn't that what you guys have been saying for the last six months?

I've noticed this on a couple accounts too. It seems there isn't much vetting as far as allowing for FE. I wouldn't FE or deal with anybody who requires on AB (especially when they look like that). I have missed 2 vendor exit scams by a few days because I didn't reorder when it started looking suspicious. However, I also have been reimbursed for a vendor that was banned for scamming by AB admins... so I think they try to stop it, but they aren't that great at it...

Choose vendors wisely, follow your gut and don't expect a refund (mine was small, i was lucky). All of these markets seem to be ran by criminals or something.

You can pay for FE permission but you're right someone would need to verify they had a sales history

Yes

This is my two cents for what it is worth... I was scammed (FE'ed on the order) with Bar2d2. Since I FE'ed, I never had any expectation of receiving my funds back. Well, as soon as I told the admins, they refunded my money and banned both Bar2d2 and Bobafet. Now I have placed an order with Alice4you. Someone told me that they grant FE priveleges if they have made a certain amount of sales over different markets (something like that... It is on the Alpha page... I cannot remember the details but apparently it is allowed)... I just messaged Alice4you and they immediately responded. They told me they will do a reship if I don't receive my package by Friday (16 days out since shipped) so I am trusting it... I don't know why they would respond so quickly if they were trying to scam me... I thought that Alpha was working with Alice4you also because of the FE (until someone told me Alpha' rules) and they refunded my full order from Bar2d2 even though I FE'ed... I don't know - Alice4you messaged me right away... Hopefully, that's a good sign...

I think they probably just don't really do too much to check the validity of people who apply for FE, unfortunately.


[1 Points] wobbleheavily:

hate to bring this back from the dead but I would like to mention SpecialDelivery was banned so perhaps you're on to something. I ordered a parcel less than 100 bucks from him and he was banned about a week afterwards lol super awesome.

I'm not sure about maserati. while extremely tempting, his prices seem to be too good to be true.

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.

If "alphabay" and "scam" are both in the same sentence, you can basically stop reading and answer in the affirmative.
