Phishing penalties (not my work):

Jail or prison. A phishing conviction can easily result in a year or more in prison if you're convicted of a felony. Laws differ widely, but penalties of up to five years in prison are possible with felony convictions. Misdemeanor convictions can result in up to a year in jail.

Fines. Being convicted of a phishing crime can also lead to a significant fine. Misdemeanor fines typically do not exceed a couple of thousand dollars, while felony fines can be as much as $10,000 or more per offense.

Restitution. If the phishing activity resulted in a victim losing money the court will impose a restitution order. This order requires you to pay the victim to compensate for the loss. The amount of restitution will differ from case to case, but they are always made in addition to any fines imposed.

Probation. A phishing conviction can also result in a probation sentence, especially where a person has not been convicted of crimes before. Probation typically lasts from 1 to 3 years, though in some cases it might last longer. When you are on probation you have to comply with specific probation terms. These terms can often differ, but usually include such requirements as regularly reporting to probation officer, maintaining employment, paying all required fines and restitution, and not committing any more crimes while you are on probation.

When Roblox fails to terminate a user for this offense they could be charged with obstruction of Justice and assistance in the phishing for allowing the preventable offense to be carried out.

I think the important info that Roblox should know is:

When Roblox fails to terminate a user for this offense they could be charged with obstruction of Justice and assistance in the phishing for allowing the preventable offense to be carried out.

They should be aware with their ignorance of these offenses they are actually committing a crime. It's time they step up their moderation.

Micro literally ever bit of spam on every hat or model or game is a phishing scam made to get a user rich by stealing a users account and transferring contents, or keeping the account.

they're not ignoring anything

there's no phishing on roblox

unless you're talking about copying places and scamming because in that case you're a class A autist

Just because you are young does not mean the law doesn't affect you. It will be your parents having to pay fines and/or other costs due to the fact that the majority of perpetrators are their dependents.

Micro could you please tell me the definition of phishing.

You can't....

Your so dumb, go away. THE LINKS THAT PEOPLE POST THAT GO TO SITES PRETENDING TO GIVE ROBUX ARE MADE TO STEAL ACCOUNT INFO.

"ever bit of spam on every hat or model or game is a phishing scam made to get a user rich by stealing a users account and transferring contents, or keeping the account."

i'm pretty sure this only accounts to real money. when its a children site im pretty sure this stuff is called "clever" not "illegal"

Phishing only counts for banking/monetary accounts or social networking websites. It is illegal because it is stealing personal information and money. Since games do not keep this information, it is not illegal.

source: almost all of the links on the front page of google when you search "phishing"

Phishing applies to stealing personal information.

Only some PUNISHMENTS apply to real currency.

Learn your laws, children. Ignorance of the law doesn't make it legal.

It is illegal, because members pay for things such as a Builders Club membership.

It is stealing any way you put it. You could have a piece of art you make yourself from materials found at the dump, with no liquid value. If you stole it, you would indeed go to jail.
