DarkMatter Payment Scam : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

Darknet Markets are a big gamble
and you crapped out
sorry M8

You was fished

I hope they fix this up.

keep us updated on what happens

This happened to me on abacus long time ago , I lost $350 an abacus support told me I was on phishing site even after verifying the mirror before making payment into the account

Sounds phished to me mate?

darkmatter looks good and all but i dont know. when i did that pgp tutorial thing on the market they wanted me to send my private key lmao. i just put a bullshit key and they accepted it idk if that is meant to be a troll or something but i havent tried to buy things on darkmatter yet

are you sure this is an exit scam me mates, can this not be an isolated incident? i was planing on placing an order tomorrow. please keep this thread updated. i need clarifications from dark matter mods if possible, let us know if this guy just happened to fall onto a phishing site or is this an actual thing

Not trying to minimize the issues your facing. But I just did the same thing with an order this afternoon and I got a refund lickity split......Have you checked the withdrawal timeout on your account? (I think it can be set up to 24 hrs) Maybe its an issue there idk...good luck!

the official DarkMatter site (confirmed with multiple users and friends),

users and friends?

why would you not just go to the darkmatter sub or daunt where you know the source is authentic.

friends and users can be phishers mate.

Well i joined a while back but only made my first order yesterday for approx £400.
Daunt or gtfo imo, main links are always down, you need to use the lower verify ones to get quick access.
I think you were phished someway as no main link works for me so you saying you did use a main address no problem has me surprised/sus.
A 404 or timeout on a site does not effect the coins ability to move about lol, i make payment and shutdown.
So, i have awoken to it marked shipped so that is great.
Will 100% use DM in the future.

I would like to request that DarkMatter reopen my order (Order ID: 13faadff-95f3-4e26-8b4e-6397c1881d0a) so I can **manually enter the TXID and viewkey** for payment verification.

✅ I placed the order through the official DarkMatter site (confirmed via captcha and official mirrors).

✅ I paid to the Monero address listed on the order page — I verified it using the site’s official PGP and confirmed the address again today by attempting a new order. It matches 100%.

⛔ After 12 hours, the order was automatically closed with the status **“Rejected / Not Paid”**, even though I had submitted a valid XMR payment.

⚠️ The “Lost Deposit” page was also broken at the time (404 error), so I couldn’t manually submit the TXID/viewkey through the site.

I am **willing to provide full cryptographic proof** that the payment was real:
- The exact deposit address
- TXID
- Viewkey
- PGP signed confirmation
- Monero blockchain explorer link

If DarkMatter reopens the order, I’ll submit everything manually and verify the transaction on-chain.

📌 If this was a technical issue, that’s fine — I just want transparency and a fair opportunity to prove the transaction.

Thanks for your attention. This is not about slandering anyone, I just want to resolve it properly and protect other users from confusion or potential bugs.

Hello everyone,

I want to share what’s really going on with my order on DarkMatter Market. I deposited 0.83987 XMR (about 246€) to the exact deposit address shown on the official DarkMatter site for my order. Here is the address I paid to:

Deposit address I used:
88cJVZYQ67U3G6A3erijhKNDfV8uDwARsbPaANzXQQM7YArfXHsa7pzLDsVAvUGXUcZC8AJRunqKP5M1V3xgGeu33z4esUD

You can verify my transaction here with the Monero TXID and view key:
https://monero.com/payment/71954489eb69268a8c9e147a6c27b211bb7b532d5db235eec9d7705982c3ed72/88cJVZYQ67U3G6A3erijhKNDfV8uDwARsbPaANzXQQM7YArfXHsa7pzLDsVAvUGXUcZC8AJRunqKP5M1V3xgGeu33z4esUD/ebc81cfbcbec6b6a0270f8aea5dd6f17db5c492b3fb5036841bcf5485e02e00a/

After I asked the DarkMatter moderator for explanations, they claimed I sent funds to the wrong deposit address and gave me a completely different address where I was supposedly supposed to send the payment because I got phished. This is false.

Here is the address the DarkMatter support gave me:
87vs5WN6Ndr6d68NkrKa5YPtwoLfAdz8AEG5kw1oVeapjR9us4RvBFmRfcYmbeG8Lo9BUukSb8jts8d1kjbJL7MYT8BCZVo

But I just re-checked right now on the official DarkMatter site, passing the CAPTCHA and everything, and when I try to place a new order in the FakeBase category (to buy fake bills), the deposit address shown for payment is exactly the same one I used for my initial deposit.

You can try it yourself too — visit the official DarkMatter market, try to place an order, and check the deposit address. Unless they have already changed it to cover their tracks, you will see the same address I paid to.

This is clear evidence they are lying and trying to scam me. They try to make me look like a fool who didn’t use the site properly, but I followed all instructions exactly and verified the site’s authenticity carefully.

These are scammers and I want justice. Please verify for yourself by going to the official DarkMatter market and trying this.

Thank you all.

Dark Matter looks shite but surely if you had to log in using your PGP you would definetly be on a legit site unless you signed up on a phishing site to start with.

week old account? if you did get an offical link whats to say all the gay porn you look up didnt infect your PC and its changing when you copy and paste?
i havent seen one other issue. im about to place an order now. and the vendors would surely let us know if a market is having issues.
Im calling it YES you prob lost some money but i dont think it was anything to do with dark matter

You were phished, epic dunning kruger effect though

I read this thread earlier because I wanted to order from DM. I suspected it was a case of phishing so I got the site PGP from here, verified a link on daunt, went to the site in question, joined up and made an order. I verified everything along the way. The xmr was paid in 3 confirmations, not even 5 mins after it was completed my end. So far I am feeling no scam bro; the site even prompted me to put in the TXID etc in case the xmr didn't show up a few minutes after I ordered. Honestly, you just been phished m8.

Alright, I admit it — I was foolish. After a long search, I finally understood what phishing is. I didn't know that hackers had created such a social engineering method. The worst part is that when you type "duck duck go DarkMatter" into the search bar, you end up on that damn first phishing site. The DarkMatter market is also partly your fault, because you should have warned new users by placing a message on your main page, saying they must not access the site through DuckDuckGo — otherwise they'll get scammed because of this crap. You should’ve said to access it only through the Dread forum.

I lost all my savings, and this mistake — as well as my first experience on the darknet — turned out to be fatal. I probably won’t come back, and if I do, it’ll be to a different market where I can be sure I won’t get scammed. Because even when ordering something like a chair on the darknet, there’s no 100% guarantee the package will arrive — and if on top of that, our money gets stolen just to place the order, then it’s a complete failure. That’s all I had to say.

Never had Problems with DarkMatterMarket!
