Seller Account Renewal
Dear Seller,
due to a renewed cleaning of the seller accounts, all sellers who wish to continue operating in the Silk Road Marketplace are to pay a mandatory fee of 10 bitcoins.
All seller accounts that do not pay the fee will be downgraded from seller status.
We believe this to be necessary in order to maintain a high standard of quality for our customers.
Payment Addresss: 12pS1bcs43wGejCZJdviRjni8316hv9GRg
Regards
Silk Road Marketplace Customer Support"
I see scam.
-
Yeah I just got one of these and messaged back that SR himself needs to post this in the forums signed and verified before they would be getting any coins out of me. I smell a scam as well.
-
I got a message from anothe SR member letting me know about the message, I looked on the forum and found another thread under Security warning others about this possible phishing scam. I really hope it's a scam.
Peace.

Absolutely 100% scam, as my selling accounts were not messaged.
-
I was instantly suspicious just by the user name....I never ever got a message from SR with a name like that, they sent me 3 messages within an hour...LAME!

According to Blockexplorer two people have already paid.
Very unfortunate.
