This is a short/long guide explaining how to avoid a scammer. (obviously)

Types of Scammer -
For hundreds of years, people have been scamming others out of things, such as money, food, or other objects of value. It is no surprise on ROBLOX that these scammers often horde here, creating fake websites and using active ("live") Accounts to take other accounts. A few types of scammers are :

1. Message Spammer - They will often create new accounts or use stolen ones to send you a message offering you "a free robux hack," when in actuality the website they use steals your credentials, and changes them to the host of the websites' liking. They will send you a message appearing as so : "this is awesome! get unlimited robux! just go to (scam site)!"

2. Comment Scammer - Often Self-Advertising on new hats, famous places, and just about anything else, These people use a similar tactic to above, promising unlimited or thousands of robux giveaways. In general, a Place scammer inserts an account-stealing Screen GUI into their place, then use free-model robux to take a picture, and title their place "(amount of robux) robux giveaway!" The screen GUI will appear to ask for your credentials so you can log back in due to ROBLOX "doing maintenance," but in reality, ROBLOX would not log you out while playing during maintenance.

3. Account Scammer - Most commonly found going to new places, offering people free OBC/Robux, these scammers are ruthless. At times, they will say, "gimme ur account and ill put robux/obc on it," When they'll steal your account, change a few credentials, BOOM! You lost your account to a scammer who offered you something that couldn't be done. An easy way to avoid these is to ask them if they could send a ROBLOX card code instead. This is because in most cases, they will say no, and you can tell that they're a scammer through this way.


Obviously the best way to avoid these scammers are to just ignore and report them, however, If you ever come across a friend who you think is acting suspicious or has been scammed, look for the following :

1. Offers - If they are offering you anything that can't be traded (i.e Robux/Tix), do keep a wary eye and avoid the offers. Chances are that they've been scammed themselves, and their account has been stolen.

2. Misspelling (disregard if your friend is already a bad speller) - If your friend is a folk who you know uses proper spelling and grammar, then you should be able to tell this one. Most of the time, after a person is scammed, the person who scammed them will often start misspelling words, like "u" instead of "you".

3. Acting suspicious - Mostly at times not acting like their usual self, this one is the easiest to see (other than offers). Generally not being their normal self, they often act more estranged than normal.



I hope you avoid scammers.

I made a thread that was meant to support the halt of both spam and scams, but it got deleted. Yet, this is still up. I don't get it.

now the comment section is just page of scams, if roblox wants people to stay in there game and not hate it they should remove comments at this point, noobs just repost thinking it works and its an endless chain, ya they cant see how others rate the game or some tips but its the only way to stop it, or you could get every active roblox creator to ban anyone who spams and scams in there game comments but that wont happen...

A thing to add onto 3: Acting Suspiciously, mostly when I play Prison Life 2.0 (https://www.roblox.com/games/155615604/Prison-Life-v2-0#!/store)I mostly play as a cop, but sometimes I'm a crim or an inmate, that rarely happens. So if I'm an inmate for a long time, that means its not me (ACTING SUSPCIOUS) >:)

There are also teleport scams: they don't hurt the account, but trick the player ......

Login forms:
If the server is a beta server and there's a login form, ROBLOX will never do that, so that is a work of an evil scammer!!!!!
