Recently I have been receiving a lot of messages promising me free robux if I go to this off-site link that is probably a keylog or scam, etc. I don't click on the links because it's obvious they contain nothing good for me. I would just like to report this to the public.

I've noticed it is definitely alts sending me these messages. Here are some of the users:

-amuckreligion43
-resonantartist4
-roundgem55
-economicruin98
-wholesaleflat39
-tastefulseries3
-horribleidol73
-longingmalpract

They are all alternate accounts, I'm not sure WHO's alts they are, but these accounts need to be flagged. This needs attention, because not everyone knows these links are fake and it could potentially get someone's account stolen.

What's the point of reporting them? They will get banned, but they will keep creating accounts forever.

For some reason I get those messages more when I play ROBLOX games than forming.

ROBLOX needs to find out who the main account is. I wouldn't even bother reporting them.

Even if they got IP banned, they just find a way around. Trust me, ROBLOX just needs to hashtag ALL links except the ones they allow.

Why not just turn PM's to friends only and call it a day?

I guess people aren't so smart to figure that out.

Not everyone knows to do that, and for some it might be too late. And we shouldn't have to be forced to make our messages non-public. Some people actually like to receive PM's from random people, but NOT if they're scams.

Take into consideration that I may have been pointing at the person above you that said they get "17 a day".
I get around 3 a day on my main, but 17? wow

The thing is, we shouldn't HAVE to resort to that. And that means those messages are STILL out there.

It is always a girl, so that's a clue. Good observation!

Set your messages to friends only for awhile.
