Your not gonna get your moneyback-so expect to be double-pissed. When I'm right, read what I have to share next and judge for yourself.
Alpha Bay mods hacked my vendor account about two weeks ago, and when I shared with them my suspicions of them scamming me-they responded by sending me a pgp encrypted message trying to Blackmail me into keeping quiet about it(from my hacked vendor account). They literally admitted it was them in the message and threatened that if you reveal this information that I would be targeted by them-a direct threat. I'm warning everyone reading this that this just happened about two weeks ago. It is the mods themselves selectively scamming members whether they are vendors or buyers with large amounts of money in the accounts. I have the pgp message they sent me which includes the threat of doxxing my personal info and my buyers, but I'm willing to sacrifice that so that people will know what is going on. If you are a member of Alpha Bay, do yourself a favor and gtfo of the marketplace immediately. I was warned by a buyer of mine of this happening, and I took the warning lightly-and then 6 months later I became of a victim of the exact scam. Here is a little of what the pgp message included: We have your AlphaBay account. We have all of your information. We have every person you've ever illegally mailed drugs to's name and address. If you think we're bluffing, here's a taste: (buyers' past personal shipping info was listed here) And this is all just a fragment of the information compiled.

Now what do we want?

Nothing.

We want you to do nothing.

No attempting to recover your account. No posting everywhere that you're compromised (and holy fuck are you compromised) Just stop. what. you. are doing. This is a get out of jail free card. I know you'd like to be pounded in the ass (jesus christ the backpage and craigslist ads, come on), but you do not want the prison version.

You are a ghost. You aren't saying a word. Or our full folder of information will be released on every darknet forum, reddit, and as anonymous tips. So either your information or everyone you've ever dealt with will be attached to (my name)

Understood? Great.

Remember how lucky you are that you are not the target.

So now, at this point-if anything happens to me in any sort of way-then it will be due to the retaliation by the Alpha Bay admins/mods. Alpha Bay Mods reading this remember-if anything happens to me-you will be blamed.

Everyone-GTFO Alpha Bay!
