>>> UPDATE TUES 9th JULY 13 <<< Lots of posts trying to direct people to an Atlantis phishing page with the title Silk Road's Biggest Competition: [CENSORED: scam link][redacted some info] AVOID! If you do open an account on Atlantis you are strongly advised NOT to use the same credentials you use for your SR account. Many people have had their SR accounts hacked after using the same credentials and following the Atlantis phishing link mentioned above. Apparently the Atlantis phishing link does also create an account on the real Atlantis site. Your SR credentials should be unique to SR and be complex enough to avoid being compromised. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE LINKS ON THE HIDDEN WIKI AND WIKIPEDIA.ORG TO ACCESS SR The only link that you should ever use to access SR is: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/ Recently there has been a sharp increase in the number of cases of members reporting that they have been scammed by trying to access SR via fake URLs. Phishing is a technique used by hackers to trick you into giving them your password and PIN. It is a serious problem on hidden services because the URL is so hard to remember and can be imitated. Fake URLs are often advertised on the hidden wiki and wikipedia.org. If you registered on a fake site pretending to be Silk Road, your account will be compromised and your money stolen. We HIGHLY recommend that you change your PIN and password before making your first deposit. Don't be another victim, change your PIN! Please note that once your coins have been withdrawn there is nothing SR support can do to help recover them. If you have already fallen for this scam and are now only ready this after the fact you need to contact SR support on the main site as soon as possible. This will probably mean that you will need to create a new temporary account to do this, as you will undoubtedly have lost control of your account as the scammers will change your pass phrase. Please do not post in the forums until after you have contacted SR support as the moderators are unable to assist you beyond telling you to do what is stated above as all you will do is waste valuable time in having the issue investigated by SR support. The SR login page will never ask for your pin number, just your username, pass phrase and captcha. If for whatever reason you find yourself being asked to enter your pin at the login stage you should immediately be alerted to the fact that the link you are using is not trustworthy, NEVER ENTER YOUR SR PIN AT LOGIN. The time frames involved to have your pass phrase reset by SR support will mean that if you fall victim to this scam there will be nothing SR support can do in time to prevent your coins from being stolen. I strongly urge all new forum members to thoroughly research all of the information on the SR wiki before making any purchases. Investing the time to educate yourself on how to use SR as safely as possible will help you to avoid making some very costly mistakes.
