Message from Donottrustthisscum And NOT_REAL_AGORA_SUPPORT

So i login today after reading about whats going on and i see 3 new messages. 2 from NOT_REAL_AGORA_SUPPORT :: 2014-11-03 23:56 UTC (T-6days) 2014-11-04 04:04 UTC (T-5days)

and 1 from Donottrustthisscum, 2014-11-07 00:28 UTC (T-1days 23h)
The messages are all the same stated:

It appears that you are using an outdated version of Tor Browser to access Agora.

As you may have read some Tor Exit Nodes are spoofing DNS redirection to lead you to mirrored login pages of sites such as (blockchain.info/localbitcoins/bitcoin exchanges/email/and more) These redirections are actually phishing sites designed to steal logins/passwords and possibly even take over your online bitcoin wallet and stealing all your coins.

The Tor foundation has responded with an updated Tor Browser to blacklist all dirty nodes. Upgrade to the latest version of Tor Browser at:

http://torbrowserproject.com

In the future if these nodes try a future attack and you are lead to a site that shows the servers cert is outdated and you see the buttons "I understand the risk" and "get me out of here" exit the site immediately. This is another form of attempt to redirect the dns pointers to a false page.

-Agora

I searched everywhere for anything on this but came up with nothing. I am VERY confused as to what this shit is... Please someone explain to me what is going on here. Thank you

There was actually a post about this the other day. Definitely a scam. If tor needs updating it'll tell you in the toolbar

My tor is outdated though, and has been since like august. Should i update?

It's a scam attempt. There is no physically possible way for some random user of a darknet market to know if your tor browser is up to date or not. Don't click on that link or download anything from there. The real website for the tor project is https://www.torproject.org/

And just use some common sense here. These messages you got are from two separate accounts, but the message is identical in both (sounds like both accounts belong to the same person). And look at their names... I mean, really... Donttrustthisscum and NOT_REAL_AGORA_SUPPORT ? Did they really think they would look legitimate and actually get people to fall for that shit when they picked those names? BTW, the Agora admin's username is 'agora', and that's the only name they use to communicate on the market. If a certain message didn't come from that specific account, it's not legitimate.
