Hi swisshound78, Yes, this is most definitely a scam - Silk Road will NEVER send any user messages such as the one above. Users cannot be deleted from Silk Road as they could simply re-register the account. It would also go against the idea of freedom that Silk Road represents if user accounts were being banned. Everybody is responsible for their own actions, and whilst I feel terribly sorry for the people that are getting scammed by these messages it is up to each individual to check things out before putting their money into them, just as they would do with real-world transactions or investments. +1 for bringing it to the attention of others though! Thread locked as resolved. Libertas
