Uh oh, this is serious. The instructions at http://silkroaddrugs.wordpress.com/ point to the phishing address. Admins/Moderators, can you check this out ASAP???

That site is not associated with Silk Road, so there is nothing we can do about what link they provide - they provide a phishing link, likely intentionally.

Fuckers. The version of the Tor Browser I downloaded from their link is probably malware too.

That is HIGHLY likely.  Why would you download Tor Browser Bundle from any website other than the official Tor Project site?

Well the link is https://www.torproject.org/download/ so I figured it was safe because of https. I'll format the computer anyway, just to be safe.

That's the correct link for the official tor page ...

UPDATE: SR Support is awesome! They've returned the coins!

Very nice!  I suspect it's due to how quickly they were able to lock down his account ... it allowed them to redistribute to some buyers who had finalized early.   

So newbies cant post in any of the other topics?

That's correct.  You need 50 posts in the Newbie subforum before you can post elsewhere.

So what about to warn the User at the Original Login-Page about that Phishing-Methods???

If the user was at the original login page, then they wouldn't need a warning about phishing sites.  Plus, there are already several warnings in the forum and in the wiki against providing your PIN at login.

There is already a FAQ stickied in the Customer Support subforum:  http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=133191.0

Sorry, but that kind of "service" is not allowed here.

so i ordered my stuff MAY 31st from a top % vendor... it was shipped JUNE 3RD. and has been "in transit" ever since. Is this common or am i being jerked around? this is my first order on SR.

Your order will remain "in transit" until you manually finalize the order after receiving it.

yes i understand that, and thank you for the reply. but what i am asking is, is it common for it to take that long for it to arrive? i am in a big city and its domestic

sorry for misunderstanding the question - i thought maybe you expected it to change from "in transit" to something else automatically.

anyway, i don't think you need to worry yet for a few reasons:

1.  just because the vendor marked it 'in transit' 6 days ago doesn't mean that he actually put your order in the mail that same day.  some vendors mark it in transit after they've gotten it packaged up and ready to go, but then don't actually send it that same day.

2.  unless they're shipping via Express Mail, then it's not unreasonable for it to take a week or so to reach you.

what you can do, if you don't receive it in the next few days, is click on "resolve" when that option becomes available to you -- that will just extend the finalization date and give it more time to arrive.
