| AlphaBay, a dark web marketplace that sells drugs and guns, has gone offline -- sparking fear amongst its users that it is an "exit scam" stealing their funds.
However, a staff member has denied that the team behind the site has done a runner, writing on Reddit: "Will be back online soon. Servers under update."
Dark web marketplaces, accessible only via anonymising software Tor, let unscrupulous vendors sell almost anything -- and are notorious for scams and fraud.
In March 2015, Evolution suddenly shut down in an apparent exit scam, stealing $US12 million-worth of digital currency bitcoin that it was holding in escrow for vendors.
