I want to make a purchase and the vendor is available only on AlphaBay, do I deposit money into that?
There are reports daily of coins missing after deposit and even on AB forums, there are several reports that coins haven't turned up even after 10 + deposits.. this is worrying me.
The 'Admin' has also closed most of the threads saying they are victims of phishing attacks. But how can so many people get phished over the course of a week or two? Looks like there is something else going on.
Most of the people who have been scammed seem adamant that they are not victims of phishing and they used the correct URL and BTC address for AlphaBay, but the Admin seems to have just closed the thread and moved on without any satisfactory solution.
Is this market safe at the moment?
selective scam market.
the biggest reason to stay away is staff pretends to be absent. disputes never get resolved
