New scam to SR inbox nobody send bitcoins, reported to SR. Message below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning Silk Road vendors and buyers, my name is Inigo. As some of you already know, I offer customer support here on Silk Road.
Firstly, I must apologize for the increased site downtime this week; there has been some strange goings on since Silk Road came 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. 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 300 investment shares of 0.1 percent of the income of the site (income excludes 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 $400 for a 0.1% share, paid in BTC (see below) at Mt. Gox's weighted average at that time. 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 As the site grows so will your pay-out, investments can be withdrawn at any time and pay-outs will be paid at the next pay-out date up to that point.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 enable us 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 paid monthly into your SR account; the schedule can be changed to weekly 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 300 investments has been received the payment address will no longer be valid and payments will not be able to be made into it.
Payment address - 12PmigpwzaAd7SW3QsEBjvC8FLYmMzqURA
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 VendingCrewFinancial here http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/messages/send_message/537c3b8bf0 with the Transaction ID, User name & Amount of investment shares and total BTC sent.
Example:
Subject - Silk Road Investment Op
#529303185
Inigo [Your User name goes here instead]
4 x 0.1
BTC 14.1024
This is strictly first come, first served. As mentioned 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.
Thank you and good luck!
Inigo

I had 2 of them and then day later telling me its a scam from the real SR support, i also had one last month about SR2 ha ha but lucky im not to daft and always PM support to see if its real or not
-
How annoying. :-\ For anyone who doesn't already know - it's a scam so please DO NOT send any btc.
-
I received 2 messages from them in the last 24 hours. Big props to the SR staff for getting word out quickly that these guys are thieves. I'm assuming they are continually opening up new accounts to spam this garbage out. I'm sure SR is banning the account every time. The sad thing is I'm sure they made a lot of money with this scam. Hopefully SR can freeze their coins before they can withdraw them all.

My guess would be that they are not using SR's wallet because they know it could be frozen.
