Title: Here we go with another messaging scam *Lynda*
Post by: nzt48givesyouwings on May 13, 2013, 10:40 am
Following message currently being blasted out is a scam. Please do not bite on it:

----------------------------------------------------
Good morning Silk Road vendors and buyers, my name is Lynda. As some of you will already know I offer customer support here on Silk Road.
Firstly, I must apologize for the increased site downtime this week, and that there has been some strange goings on since it being back online. And of course the database rollback. There is a reason for this, many new features are being implemented on the site and will be revealed in due course.
I will tell you that domestic rate options are one (choose to view in EUR & GBP as well as USD) and also a new exchange feature will be implemented next month. We have also added more admin accounts which will be better staffed to assist you.

We are now also ready to offer a very unique opportunity to a lucky few. The chance to invest in the site. I must be very clear and say that this is investment only, you will not own or have a say in any part of the running or management of the site. This can all be verified with DPR's forum post here http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=138016.0 Or message him here http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/messages/send_message/b1e30b5819 Please do not speak about this on the forums yet as we are anticipating a lot of media attention over this and would like to minimize the impact if possible.

We are offering 250 investment shares of 0.1 percent of the income of the site (income excluding running costs & Dread Pirate Roberts share, staff etc.) which currently stands at ~$200'000 per month or $2'400'000 annually Shares will be priced at ฿4 for a 0.1% share, paid in btc. There is no limit on the amount of shares you can buy, and the amount we will be paying out equates to 25% of the sites income.
There is no limit to the amount of shares any one person can buy. For a 0.1% investment you will earn $200 per month, for a 0.5% investment you will earn $1000 a month and so on. As the site grows so will your pay-out, investments can be withdrawn at any time and pay-outs will be paid at the next pay-out date up to that point. This is a very unique opportunity and a chance to be a part of history.

Money invested is going to be used in the short-term to finance more servers and to cover more staff to be able to make the site run faster and better than ever before, with more staff to assist you and more features for you to make your buying/selling experience that much better. Investors will have a new area within the account section of the account, where they can see the amount they have invested, the next pay-out date, and the amount which will be updated hourly. You will also find options here to change pay-out schedule (weekly, monthly, annually), cancel investment & change view types.

Pay-outs will by default be monthly into your SR account, the schedule can be changed and a wallet address can be specified for payments. If you decide to cancel your investment, it will be refunded immediately.
Payment for your shares need to be paid to the address specified below, these are then tracked internally and after payment for 250 investments has been received the payment address will no longer be valid and payments will not be able to made into it.
Payment address - 1E7MvdRjSvCCPNPhNwAqKVsYSwFj2Bpp9x

If you receive an invalid wallet address error, you are too late.
Your new investors section will become active 8-10 hours after payment is received. You can speed up this process by messaging SR Financial here http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/messages/send_message/733d1d49e8 with your Transaction ID, User name & Amount of investment shares and total btc sent.

Example Subject - SR Investments
277349296
Lynda - 4 x 0.1 - ฿16

This is strictly first come, first served. As, said before there is no limit on how many one person can buy. Again, this is the chance to be a part of the site and a part of history.

Current price is ฿4 BTC per 0.1% share. This will reward you with around $200 per month. This may well be subject to increase.

Thank you and good luck

the same obvious scams over and over. do we really need to make a 20 threads every time?

probably, because there must be a lot of children and retarded people on here if they continuously fall for these obvious scams. or maybe no one falls for them and we are just making spam threads about these obvious scams.

I have gotten two of these. one was two days ago from "Lynde" and today from "Lynda"

The thing that set it off as BS to me was the numbers, think about it. If they were making $2,400,000usd a year and they are selling 0.1% share in the company then it would be a share worth $240,000usd and they want $500usd  :o Top that off with the stated reason being to expand the service.... the total they would make if all 250 shares were sold would be $125,000usd.... Less than 3 weeks profit from the stated income.

If there is one thing I know, DPR is money smart and the above is about as money stupid as it gets.

I was just about to post about this scam but you beat me to it. Apparently it's not such an obvious scam for all users because that BTC address (1E7MvdRjSvCCPNPhNwAqKVsYSwFj2Bpp9x) has already received 9.57 BTC, so it is possible 2 people have already been scammed.

part of the scam is to send some of your own coins to the address to make it look like people are investing. weve seen this investment scam countless times now. anyone stupid enough to fall for this shouldnt be using silk road.

As one moderator and one member in this thread have already pointed out, that user should not be using Silk Road.

It's amazing that some poor dope falls for this every time. The promise of free money for a one time investment just speaks to the greed in some people. It's a shame but you can't help but think they deserve it for being so stupid.
