Seller Account Renewal

Dear Seller,

due to a renewed cleaning of the seller accounts, all sellers who wish to continue operating in the Silk Road Marketplace are to pay a mandatory fee of 10 bitcoins.

All seller accounts that do not pay the fee will be downgraded from seller status.

We believe this to be necessary in order to maintain a high standard of quality for our customers.

Payment Addresss: 12pS1bcs43wGejCZJdviRjni8316hv9GRg

Regards

Silk Road Marketplace Customer Support

I received a warning about this nonsense from "sumyungai" thanks for looking out... This type of phishing catches a few unwary folks so beware! I hope that not to many vendors got screwed. Anyway be on the look and thanks again for the heads up "SYG"! Peace.
