Title: Warning on Local Bitcoin that BTC sent to these wallets MAY BE going missing
Post by: shopper1888 on August 27, 2013, 05:09 pm
This was put up on the Local bitcoin forum by a mod or someone that works there.

Warning regarding Silk Road transactions today

Several of our users have approached us today that their bitcoin transactions to Silk Road wallets have not been successful. In some cases there is blockchain information available showing that immediately after the bitcoins arrived to the receiving service, the bitcoins where transferred forward to somewhere else, indicating that the receiving service might have been hacked. However, we do not have details yet.

I recommend everybody to extremely careful with the transactions of this kind. If possible send a smaller amount first to see if it goes through before sending the full transaction sum.

Warning, this is on a www addy (clearnet?)

Whomever posted that message isn't taking the Silk Road tumbler into account.

There was an issue with deposits and withdrawals earlier which has now been resolved.

^ Lol yeah, I also assumed he was watching the btc tumbler in action. Whenever I checked my transactions on the blockchain, coins were always moved from the original receiving address shortly after a deposit. I wouldn't say it happened "immediately" though...

K+ too funny

 I was ok on localbitcoins lastnight and today.  The amount of scamming over there makes our scam probs much more acceptable (relatively).
