Seeming Phishing Links on the v3 Addresses on dark.fail

So I was logging on to set up an order for about a $1000 USD and I noticed that there was a problem when it came time for me to get the address--

This has always been a process where I'm given a PGP message to decrypt and that PGP message has the XMR wallet key/id for me to send the coins to.

Instead, upon getting to this point I'm in a position where there's a "signed" PGP message (which I can't get verified) with the XMR wallet id/key readily displayed, instead of a fully encrypted message.

I tried checking the links and lo and behold they're just a few symbols off--but the weird thing is it's only the v3 addresses that I tried. I tried multipled v3 addresses and each did the same thing.

Not only that but the XMR addresses given by each v3 address is definitely not what I ended up wtih when I went through the v2 address provided on here.

It's been a while since I felt the need to confirm a shop everytime I use it, if someone could give me a message with a quick and dirty rundown on how to do so exactly, I'd really appreciate it. I could see this fooling a LOT of users and if this is indeed a phishing scam then it could potentitally steal thousands of coins, maybe millions of dollars.

IDK what's going on but it's beyond fishy, I'm compiling some SS and a video for any admin to check out
