Title: Fishy Message sent to Vendors
Post by: SprayMan on May 21, 2013, 06:23 pm
I received a message earlier today from Simonclark81. Seems quite fishy to me. Vendors, beware.

Here's the message:

Simonclark81    Hi, I'm not sure if you are the right person or not, but I live near to you and have noticed you making quite a few deliveries to the mailbox, some of which I managed to get on video... search for 'silk road local delivery' on www.videoupload.us and click on the the first video and you will be able to see.

This is not a threat, I am just trying to pre warning you to be more careful when mailing things. (and maybe send someone else to the mailbox instead of yourself) Although I wouldn't say no to a free sample :)

P.S If it is not you in the video, then you can ignore this

Simon

If someone could post this in the SR discussion board, it'd be much appreciated due to my lack of 50 posts (dumb rule, especially in situations such as these).

Thanks,
SprayMan

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of reports about that message.  It's safest for everyone to avoid going to that site.

You nailed it scout! That sounds pretty sketchy for sure. Maybe you should start a new sticky thread telling people not to visit that link!

sadly, we can't sticky threads without all agreeing on it and getting permission from DPR, but i've sent off a message to the other mods and admins about the situation.  maybe we'll be able to get a thread up.  in the meantime, if i am not around to catch it, people should help each other by passing the "DON'T VISIT THAT SITE!" message along!

Yes we did....

They were trying to buy from us IRL.
