Got this yesterday.
For those who got this as well. Do not believe this BS 8)
Good morning Silk Road vendors and buyers, my name is Rosetta. 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 As the site grows so will your pay-out, investments can be withdrawn at any time and pay-outs will be paid at the next pay-out date up to that point.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
Rosetta - 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

Yep, this is a scam, just for those who may be wondering about its legitimacy. Silk Road will NEVER send you messages like these.

Looks like its a new customer service rep from SR.
You know, it IS a big call center and all. Must be hard manning the phones and dealing with all those SR enquiries.
I shouldn't joke, but I'd hope less fall for this than even bitswing.

A quick look into that address and it looks as if some people paid 4 BTC. . . .

It's likely that they have sent BTC to the address themselves in order to make it seem more legitimate.

I got this in my inbox today and thought it was a scam right away. And I hope anyone who gets this doesnt get fooled. But I am worried about this how did they get my account name on SR? It is not this name and pretty random so how did they get it. Was info lost from SR during attacks? Or was it a seller who got compromised? Should I or anyone be worried about? If info was lost from SR or seller should we start over with new accounts?
Just wondering I am surprised no one has brought this up

Not sure if I can answer most of the above, but I can tell you that no information was lost from Silk Road during the attacks. They were DoS attacks, not attempts at cracking SR security.
