I woke up to check the status of some orders and TOR was asking for an update. I downloaded the new TOR bundle which deleted my bookmarks. So I took a walk down to the Hidden Wiki to look up the url for SilkRoad and I obviously hit a phishing site. Without even thinking I blindly gave away my pin and was robbed of approx. 1.71 BTC. Assuming those will never been seen again I am worried this fucker is still on my account and will mess with / cancel my orders when they process and take the rest of my BTC. What should I do, PLEASE HELP!

Just consider that 1.7 BTC a learning fee.
Change your PIN number ASAP! This is whats most important. And yes change your PW as well.
If your account doesn't have a lot of orders on it. You may consider just starting a new account here at SR.

I have made a new account because I simply got out played.. I thought I changed my pw before he did but I was beat to the draw. Learning fee noted. Now about my pending orders, I have messaged the vendors requesting NO refund on that account, not sure how effective this will be. Is there anything else I can do to make sure my 3 pending orders (placed lastnight) get processed?

Why not just contact SR support with your new account, like if you lost your PW? Tell them you've been compromised through a phishing site.
For future knowledge...

There is a sticky thread in the newbie discussion board that tells you what you need to do in circumstances like this, go and have a read and if you still need help post back.
