Empire Market Is Scamming Us... : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

So, very unfortunately I believe empire market is scamming us. There are all to many issues right now regarding withdrawing, and deposits. I opened a ticket in hopes to speed up a dispute that was already solved, and just waiting for them to release the funds back to me. That was 2 days ago, and they have now closed my ticket. Just now actually. It pains me not only that I lost my money, but also that empire is about to leave us.

BEWARE!!!

Call it FUD or what not, but you should at least be cautious of your money. I will take this post down when my problem and many others problems are fixed!!

(YES, I KNOW THIS IS A RE-POST!! ITS BECAUSE EMPIRE MODS ARE DELETING POSTS ABOUT THIS)

I would like to add that yes, the "problem" is probably now fixed. But truly, only half of it. We still need our money back. Its a bug they say? Then pay us back from the millions they probably already have. The issue isn't fixed until then. When you buy something from a company, and it doesn't work, they don't just fix the problem on future products, they also give you a refund, right? Where is ours...?

If they are removing posts then that is a huge red flag.

No legit market would remove posts just because they dont like them

How much was your withdrawal for?

It wasnt a withdrawl, rather a dispute. And it was roughly 0.039 bitcoin(I say roughly becasue its bad opsec to mention the exact amount). I say that they are scamming though, because the dispute has been solved for days now, and we are both waiting on our funds. They closed all my support tickets regarding it
*whispers*

Definitely sucks and I know how that feels. I got my finances messed up when WSM exited. I shipped close to $4k to new customers at a loss due to me being new and wanted to get customers and feedback but it went sideways real bad. I lost a lot. If I had known about dread I would have avoided the mess I got myself in

We are seeing more and more Vendors and Buyers complaning about Empire taking advantage of the funds of customers.
So much more markets at the moment that offer way better systems than Empire

Which one? I chose Empire because it used to have a good rep on Dread. IDK what the consensus is now. I don't know systems.

Cryptonia my guy. Use there multisig wallets. Its the safest, and they baiscally cant scam you... but dont trust any. Just remember to never keep coin on the site and never use auto encrypt
lol, not Nightmare.

Only good market right now is Cryptonia.

I've had no issues. All withdrawals (bitcoin + ltc) process in under 2 minutes. Just pulled more out now.

Amounts? I don't know about others but my withdraw problem is with a Monero withdraw.
/u/DrReefer

I've done over 50 sales, withdrawals range as we process them each day so usually none over a few grand. Just pulled 1500 today for example, but total over 5 figures++


I've never had a xmr sale, only litecoin and bitcoin. Both are the fastest withdrawals (almost instant) i've ever had. Most markets are anywhere from 15 mins to 2+ hours in the past.

Then hopefully it is either just a Monero problem or a problem affecting just a few people or just specific large amounts. But until I get my money I have to treat this has a big issue because to me it is.

for me empire and nightmare sometimes the withdrawal will 'fail' but the bitcoins are put back in your account and you can try the withdraw again, got a withdraw from empire and nightmare in the past 24-48hrs

If the transaction went well, then youll probraly get it. Or atleast, its already past the part were you should be worried. Its more the site than the vendor you should be worried about

Trueovernight is a verified, tried and true trusted vendor (for those who don't know us) and would like to simply state that we WERE able to successfully withdraw approximately $1600 in BTC a few minutes ago from Empire market. The coin showed up in our external wallet in less than 5 minutes with no glitches or anything looking fishy. Not sure what the issue was but FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL it looks resolved. Also, we were able to log in without geting phished using the latest mirrors we found on darkfail. We will update here and Avengers if that changes. Just an FYI. Hope you all get your funds.

Agreed. We weren't conclusively saying the issue was resolved for everyone, just informing the community that at least some larger withdrawals are working. Praying your money is returned to you.

Thanks G. And yeah I mean id say it might be safe for now since they made a post(low quality) regarding it being safe now. Just very sorry for the people who have been fucked over by them. But like a wise man recently said, money is replacable, respect and trust isnt. They are lacking!

wtf??? bro the vendors losing thousands arent getting phished lmao. How? Ive had personal conversations with them and they deffinitly werent phished. Considering we all know what we are doing it doesnt make sense. No one losses 3,500$ because of a phish. If your able to make that much you should surely be able to find good links. and are you not reading what i said? they literally addmited that there were issues, or should I say "issues", so being phished again... doesnt make sense

I feel that bro and defintity wasnt trying to attack you. And to answer your question, it isnt neccasarily the vendors, its the admins of it. First of all, they rob vendors. Second, the vendors that they do have, are the bad ones. Theres a reason no one talks about it haha
