Apollon Market is Probably Exit Scamming
Jump to Comments
Hours after Dread relaunched, an attacker started DDOSing Dread, Envoy, The Hub, and possibly other forums. Many of the HugBunter wrote, “we were back up and running and then ALL forums were attacked at once, all hard down.” Dread access has been limited since relaunch. Many of the other forums appear to have recovered as of this post. The Dread administrator believes Apollon is responsible for “the dos attacks against all the forums and Empire.”
Many of the users who accessed Dread (likely through one of the mirrors) posted their concerns about Apollon Market.
SamWhiskey, a Dread mod, stickied the “Apollon Megathread” and issued a similar warning:
Since the downtime we’ve had some reports of problems with Apollon. This is the place to post any information or questions you have. Please do not make separate posts about it.
Apollon market is paying for DDOS attacks against dread, avengers, the hub, envoy and empire. Most likely to cover up an exit scam.
A number of vendors on Apollon Market sent emails to darknetlive with information concerning their accounts on the market.
One vendor, SteroidWarehouse, wrote:
I can confirm that when I try to sign into Apollon I get the following:
The username and/or password you entered is invalid
This morning I could still login and then all of a sudden I couldn’t. I also had several customers who told me that their wallets have been depleted yesterday night and this morning. It might be that they’re doing a Nightmare style exist scam. If you need more details please let me know.
Echelon:
As a vendor we can confirm that we are unable to login to our vendor accounts but still able to login to fake customer acconts [sic]. Out oof [sic] stock items in our listings have been re enabled
Feels like an EXIT scam
astronomicat:
I’m astronomicat, a small-time vendor with years of experience with darknet markets. I’d like to inform you that there are some issues at Apollon where several vendor accounts have had their passwords changed, hindering access to the accounts. I’m one of them. It cannot be a matter of phishing or similar as I have 2FA enabled and have had good opsec since 2013. At the time of writing this message, at least two others have claimed the same.
tomandjerry (via Dread)
All vendors are locket out their accounts, buyers not, withdraws disabled
Dread user /u/OwlofLogic posted a TLDR in the Apollon Megathread.
There is a fault on our side after last update. We are now working on it thank you for your patience and sorry for the delays. As the admin comes online all will be fine again. We locked all vendor accounts till we fix the issue. Please wait until resolution don’t reply the ticket
Apollon Market staffer /u/sator is sending the above response through the market’s ticket interface as well as on Dread.
One unusual note: The market’s homepage changed at some point within the last five days. The homepage had links to Dark Eye, TheOnionWeb, DarknetLive, and Dread just days ago. As of publication, the homepage only has a link to Dark Eye.
If anyone has additional information, feel free to email darknetlive or leave a comment. Story is still developing. History repeats itself, though.

this is an obvious exit scam i am so glad i went with monopoly market weeks ago lol
Long John Silver2020-01-29e15c5c30
Everyone knew it was Apollon behind the market DDOS attacks. Apollon never went down ever.
boujee little thang2020-01-2954b97eb0
apollon followed in cryptonia's footsteps. literally, they never went down and always had excellent connection. one day, they randomly just stop working? smmhhhh, what a tragedy.
shitshow2020-01-29a857a6c0
Why is anybody surprised? All of these markets will exit scam sooner or later, sheeple need to stop trusting markets and start trusting vendors a bit more, many vendors have a CV and have worked hard for it, no markets are trustworthy so the best thing to do is give your favorite vendor your contact details, that way in these situations you can work something out between you.
Trader212020-01-3083af6f70
I am still able to get on Apollon. I made order few days befoee the alleged exit scam. I messaged the vendor on another market place to see if it will effect me getying my package. Waiting for response back right now
devilindetails2020-01-30a8768bb0
Definitely I'd love to just buy directly with trusted vendors that I've purchased from before but it seems like many vendors don't want to do that for whatever reasons. I've asked vendors before that I have purchased with several times if I can pay them direct even offering to FE but they just tell me to go to the next market. Why wouldn't vendors want to work direct? For Op Sec reasons?

"I logged on just today and withdrew my money, it DID transfer back to my wallet." - @rando None of my withdrawals from apollon have been approved or received in my wallet. Does anyone know any good markets (the bar is set pretty low at this point) that are actually usable for longer than a month?

More Data Needed2020-01-30707f0d10
At what time Jan 28th were vendors locked out of their accounts? I made 2 orders before 10am CST that were both marked as shipped promptly. I can't yet determine if these orders were automatically marked shipped as part of the scam or if these packs are legitimately on their way. Both of the orders initially shown as processing, so it wasn't immediate. Anyway I think this information would be useful in general so if any vendors could give some insight that would be a big help. Thanks.
Sqobble2020-01-3011bc4680
was newish vendor on apollon, got taken for everything. moved to square market. looks really clean, they are accepting anyone from apollon right now. link is on avengers, envoy, hub, admins are nice.
mr. gee2020-02-01bc404620
welp that fuckin sucks. never trust a shiny market. where can I find vendors with dread down? I ordered from a CaliPlugMike on Tuesday, said it shipped early in the afternoon. does anybody know when the last time vendors could get into their accounts was? anyone know where to find this guy to ask if it actually shipped or not?

Warning2020-02-02f82967e0
all of this is way too weird. dread offline for 17 days and comes back the same day apollon goes offline? i have a feeling all these current dnm and links are run by one scumbag crew, stealing from everyone... such as dark.fail, dread, apollon, empire... most likely also the same crew who ran berlusconi, cryptonia, cgmc, list goes on.. similar style exit scams all in a 3-6 month span? maybe they exit before LE finds out too much information and decide to run with funds rather than jeopordize their op.. be careful of this sonar email system, dark eye, and darknet trust.. they seem to be run by the apollon crew (or the crew running all of this).
gmzzz2020-02-0207d68ef0
dark.fail warned us a little too late, i should have known after receiving strange msg from Robot claiming to be admin and that i have an encrypted msg that i can read if i follow a certain link, obvious trap. but how the hell did they get my username if im only a buyer and never disclosed it anywhere.
Stackz4202020-02-02edd133d0
I can see the first registered non admin in Torums database username is "Syntax" possibly worth looking into maybe he is Se7en, since this guy registered the same day between admin accounts. It looks like time to do some deep research, I will come back with some details. I also tried to post on Torum and asked "Does Empire own Torum?" and I was banished from the forums.
Snowman2020-02-029b4928b0
Yes stackz please dig as deep as you can in the username syntax. After se7en and fuckoff1234 you are on the right track!! I did my best but not in one scenario can I imagine multiple people coming up with these brilliant unique names. Its a dead giveaway. Only empire idiot could make these names up. Now you got ''' syn??? tax????' wtf does that mean. Taxes on sins?? funny guy. Syntax is not a word or name used anywhere around the world. I did google search not in one language can syntax be found. Perhaps try pgp keyownership again by syntax. If you find anything this is the guy!!! HE MUST BE FRIENDS WITH SPANISH TRUCK OWNER WITH DRUGS IN HIS HANDS and they must all be taken down good stackz
JunkMonkey12020-02-024c264130
"LiveDabs" a vendor on many sites has been active right through all the mess and probably is involved with the rest of these assmops. He seesms to enjoy steady biz on Apollon even today. I have heard and know of vendors locked out of their accounts while this criminal can withdraw his BTC at will. I doubt anyone can wrack up the numbers he does he sells fake drugs and needs to be exposed.

Live Dabs experiences and Insights, GO:2020-02-03622031b0
I have read some disturbing feedback about Live Dabs. I won't repeat them here & I get no responses, but wonder if you have an experience w/ this vendor you can share about orders .
LiveDabs a alias2020-02-038cbdfa40
Livedabs is Raux18faux, Im pretty sure of it.... From what i see on these markets Raux18faux has the cheapeast prices for everything you can think of and seems steady on markets also livedabs came out when raux seemed to have a issue with shipping and then made good for it... Just food for though!

DDOS-Attacks everywhere, every main forum, empire. What do you think how long will this take? If Apollon exit is the reason for all these attacks, when will they have finished their exit scam??? It's now two weeks or more, why won't they just take their money and stop disturbing forums and other markets???
Eric Grinch2020-02-03e42594f0
It really isn't that hard. Fuck ethics and return the favor. Just DDOS apollon for the next 3 weeks until everybody gets the message they're gone. They're not going to be doing any maintenance on it so it should be an easy job. Idk why you need me to suggest this. Why aren't you doing this.
Poop2020-02-04d7e85cf0
LiveDabs can't be Raux18Faux. They ship from completely different areas. LiveDabs is way too organized and professional to be RF. Also, know for a fact that LiveDabs lost thousands in Apollon exit scam and emailed all his custs not to use Apollon due to exit scam
Birdy2020-02-0412875210
Empire is working, but not 'good'. It's on and off, always changing urls. 'Good' working are markets like Whitehouse or BitBazaar. Smaller markets.
MrknowNothing2020-02-044ed07290
I think with the end of dreammarket , began an era against darknet markets. vendors busted every week, customers get riped of massiv. Markets fight to each other and ripping the people off aswell , not only vendors fucking up now , markets aswell ! nice shit ! The good working markets you call , have a product list which is bs!

Yeah I’m sure they are exit scamming, been waiting on an order since 26/01/20 Strangely 2 of the orders I placed arrived, the last 2 we’re accepted the following day at FE but I’ve never received a package or reply back from the vendor, looks like it’s time to go to another market.
Lookingforwhat??2020-02-0432d4c110
Lol @looking. Wasnt he suppose to be the spanish guy? so now you've tried threatening someone in vague english, german and spanish. Or did he learn German because he has to go there so many times for work in his truck you posted 3700x? All that's left is to try and call some asian guy out. Add some ching chong words and literally anyone in the world could be threatened by these empty threats. just go fuck yourself already nobody cares or believes you anymore

Fucking market absconded with $4k worth of methamphetamines I had just ordered. No refunds? Can we see refunds from vendors that didn't ship come onto our wallet anytime soon?
You're legit fucking stupid2020-02-05e6604960
If you fucking dipshits want to keep sending your coin to a market that exited a fucking week ago, I guess no one can stop you. But stop telling other people to do it just because you've never seen an exit scam before and don't fucking comprehend that THIS IS THE WAY IT WORKS. Of course you can login. Of course you can send bitcoin. OF COURSE IT GOT MARKED SHIPPED. They can't get your coin out of escrow without marking it shipped you goddamn imbecile. Stop asking for proof, the proof is all the vendors saying they've been locked out of their accounts since LAST TUESDAY MORNING. No, your vendor has no control over whether or not your order went out if you ordered within the last week. No, your vendor did not mark it shipped, the dickheads pulling the exit scam did. You can do whatever you want with your coin, it's yours to throw away. BUT SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP TELLING EVERYONE ELSE THAT YOU THINK THE MARKET IS FINE. IT'S FUCKING NOT.

Even my cancelled orders have been marked as shipped?! 2 orders from Jan 25th arrived, the other 3 never arrived... no replies from seller (lvl3 trust 5, 100\% positive feedback) even after dispute raised. Yeah, looks like an exit... Just as I joined!
DarkFail Down? WTH is happening?2020-02-056696deb0
To clarify: not trying to access Appollon links (due to obvious scam), but all other links are unavailable. Just concerned about Dark.Fail unavailability. DO NOT DEPOSIT MONEY INTO APPOLLON. Not a good idea.
DNL2020-02-05f0bc8300
Dark.fail's clearnet site is online but their onion service is under attack. They are working on a solution.

Livedabs, who is one of the largest vendors on Apollon, was either in on it, or knew about it ahead of time and started his own individual exit scam a few weeks before Apollon's exit scam. Meaning he, as a vendor, was accepting new orders but not shipping NEARLY as many as he accepted. He received about 700 orders in January BEFORE Apollon exit scammed. He was likely shipping the smaller/cheaper orders to keep positive feedback coming in and not shipping the larger orders. He began lying to his customers in the first week on January. I placed two $710.00 orders during this time and he burned me on both. One I placed on January 4th. He spent 3 weeks lying to me and giving me excuses as to why he couldn't ship my order.
anon2020-02-0600332b20
livedabs emailed me telling me not to use apollon because they were exit scamming the day it happened and vendors got locked out, why would he do that if he is in on it? makes no sense. Apollon is using vendor accounts and taking peoples money still! be careful people
cocopops2020-02-0631647540
A reddit user on r/darknet found every apollon wallet, every stolen bitcoin, and the personal wallets of staff members complete with their recent transactions on the bitcoin exchange baido.com It's the same guy who chased sheepmarkets owner through bitcoinfog. sheeproadreloaded2 / vendor_BBMC

Hey everyone, I will be making a private website/system for cannabis and psychedelic vendors/buyers only. That is all, nothing else. Karma does affect everyone with what is going on, meaning they will get what is coming to them on their own, and we will get ours. Keep your vibes high. message me on wickr [wickr ID] if you would like to work together. will have verification system unlike anything else. Hope to hear from you.
vibrations2020-02-0675d56f20
How about we just as a species decide to leave some drugs/behaviors behind. I've noticed a trend. Those that deal in the hard drugs (pills, meth, heroin, coke,) in MOST cases are unreliable. Thinking about all of my experiences of my own (pills and coke) as well as the family, friends, and community that has been affected by these substances, I find that they create behaviors of people who are unreliable, and more than likely much worse than that. If you can show me (the point of this is not an argument, but a change) someone on these drugs consistently for years who is reliable/not a thief/harmful person, please do. Making a collective decision happens on a vibrational level. Removing behaviors on a massive scale if we all decide to. Those of you who think "oh well everyone wont change" you're adding to the problem. Believe in people. If you can handle the drug and still be a good person and take care of yourself, go for it. It's your body, your responsibility. My body, my responsibility. But if the drug starts to handle you, then it can get bad. obviously. Hope everyone takes this well, just want life to be good for everyone. None of us started out bad... :O

I've been exit scammed multiple times. First time was on Oxygen market way back in the day, it was the first time I ever tried to buy anything on the DW. The other time, more recently, was on nightmare market. I'm just a small time buyer so I didn't lose much, just a couple hundred dollars each time. Luckily though this time my account on Apollon only had a couple dollars on it.
