Is http://silkroad2eipagnk.onion a scam?

I went to this Silk Road address (which I notice is different to the one on the sidebar) and created an account, deposited some bitcoins, which are still yet to appear (two days later).

According to blockchain the bitcoins are still in the wallet I deposited in. Should I just wait or have I been scammed?

Thanks

Most likely. Always copy addresses from the sidebar!

Where did you get the URL from?

I think it is a scam site, unfortunately.

They list the actual PGP key for "Dread Pirate Roberts" from the real forums:

pub   4096R/0xCCB238E47CFEDFBC 2013-12-19 [expires: 2014-12-31]
      Key fingerprint = 5A48 F5D0 50E9 9052 62B4  799D CCB2 38E4 7CFE DFBC
uid                 [ unknown] Dread Pirate Roberts <silkroad6ownowfk.onion>
sub   4096R/0x2DCCC975F6F90F3C 2013-12-19 [expires: 2014-12-31]

I sent them a message encrypted with this key. I'll post here if they respond.

I got a captcha error during the registration process, so +1 for realism.

Seems you've been scammed for over $800. Sucks man, be more careful next time before throwing that type of money around.

Stick to street dealers. Probably safer for you.

they are doing a lot of server maintenance today. That may have something to do with it. I have seen alot of DDOS warnings from them today too. Think you should wait a bit and see if they get it sorted out.
