PSA: Alphabay is NOT on Telegram, Wickr, Reddit, or Clearnet : AlphaBay | Torhoo darknet markets
We had previously pinned this topic (/post/1271e771379bf06d6644) on our sub, but with a recent increase in reports I felt it necessary to update it; hence this post.
This will hardly come as a surprise for many of you, but for the sake of protecting newcomers and less experienced users, consider the following:
- We are not on Reddit; Reddit is not a reliable source for links. support, or anything else regarding AlphaBay
- We are not on Wickr; No Staff member will ever message you on Wickr, without exception
- We are not on Telegram; No Staff member will ever message you on Telegram, without exception
- Clearnet sites such as
alphabaymarketDOTorg are not to be trusted
- Make sure to check your URL's extension (top-level domain), as some phishing sites use the correct URL, but end it off in .onion.com instead of .onion
- The only links you can trust are the ones signed by the official AlphaBay key
https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDJRdlFXeHdhR0ZDWVhrdmQybHJhVDlwWkQweU1qTXlOalkzWXc9PQ==# - PGP keys
https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDJRdlFXeHdhR0ZDWVhrdmQybHJhVDlwWkQwNFpUUmlZamM1TVE9PQ==# - Official links signed with the PGP keys.
Stay Safe!
We are not on the clear-net, as Phrack mentioned, and users have been cautioned. If you ignore these warnings, you risk donating your XMR to phishers.
P.S. - Thank you for your contribution to the community, /u/Phrack. Given the rise in reports of users falling prey to phishing clone / proxy sites, this piece was much needed. +1
Kind Regards.
