EDIT - do not visit the URL from the feedback places, apparently it is a phishing link. it has been removed from this post.
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/bc83b70f3e
Scroll down to the feedback. Been seeing this a lot recently. Mods censor out the URL if necessary.

ER.

That's pretty desperate. The sales speak for themselves though, vendors aren't finding sales, and buyers are facing many scams. Yeah they may have better user interface and lower fees but SR is the original (kinda) and the best. A vendor account is so cheap on Atlantis that people are setting up an account, scamming then just making another.

That is a phishing URL, not the real Atlantis URL.
Which is quite strange, because it must mean they're ordering and paying for goods (presumably putting in a fake delivery address), then FE'ing and leaving the feedback.
In other words (a) someone is going to receive drugs in the post that they didn't order, or it'll end up undelivered or whatever, and (b) the phishing URL must be working well enough to make buying some goods worthwhile.

Somebody pointed out earlier, the phishing site and the real site are both run on the same server and are both on the same time. In other words the phishing site was created deliberately as another marketing ploy, to increase the chances of people visiting the site.

Really? So what happens when you visit the phishing URL? I am sure I read somewhere on this forum that someone visited it and had coins stolen afterwards.

The phishing url asks you to register an account which, strangely enough, then causes its creation on the actual Atlantis site as well.

Well that is just odd. In that case why not just spam using the real URL?

I thought that, this is why I'm trying to stay away from Atlantis. It's just too shady. Besides, it's not like there is a need for them anyway.

Perhaps they're hoping you use the same login details for Silk Road too?

is there no way a forum admin can see the bad urls posted and put them on a ban list?. I dont know how forums work ect just an idea.
