I just got this message today, This is a blatant scam right??:


This is an automated message from SR admin.

Dear user,
Due to the rise in scammers opening new accounts and not finalizing payments we have decided to charge a fee of 0.5btc for buyers account. This payment is to try stop scammers from making multiple accounts and not releasing payment from escrow.vendors have been forced to FE which is not abided by silk road rules and buyers are not happy with this.
Please forward your payment to the following address upon receiving this mail.

I'm a nigerian prince and a special agent in the DEA. Send me a picture of your butthole next to a copy of today's newspaper or I'll have your genitals ripped off by a disgruntled chimpanzee.
