Title: NEW SCAM - PrateRobDonationAcct
Post by: WhiteShark on April 27, 2013, 01:10 pm
Soo... another scam this time

Aimed at donation

Account: PrateRobDonationAcct
Topic: Silk Road Sale

   A message to all vendors:

As you are all well aware by now, in light of the recent DDoS attack, I've effectively dropped the commissions on the site until midnight on the 27th (UTC). I am reaching out to all vendors right now to encourage them to join me in this victory by marking down their listing price slightly for the time being.

In essence, this will not effect you, as a vendor, at all. Taking off my commission means that I'm taking the hit on this completely on my own.

It is for this reason, I have set up a donation account. I know most vendors have their account set up to auto-withdraw, so that is why I set up a BitCoin Address to accept donations as well as a separate account. Any vendor that wishes to donate any of their earnings during this time period is free to do so to the following Bitcoin Address:

This is NOT a mandatory donation, and nothing will be affected if you choose not to donate. This is just an account I set up to ease the burden on myself a little bit while still keeping the customers and vendors happy. I do not want to publicly post this message for the reason that I do not want anyone to feel pressured into donating. I am just informing you of the account, and letting you make the decision whether to donate or not. Either way, thankyou for being part of this wonderful community and allowing me the honor of working with all of you.

Your faithful servant always,

Please dont send this idiot money. It would be you are as stupid (or arguably stupider) than him. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. You don't donate to those starving kids in Africa why would you donate to some dude whose pretending to be someone who makes a 1 million a day and would never go asking vendors for a "donation".
