So after picking up ROBLOX again after a considerable amount of time I got a message from some ROBLOX noob, like with 0 place visits, 0 friends, like an alternate account or something.

The message claimed to talk about how I could get "unlimited ROBUX" by clicking some link they provided. It said "ROBLOX" at the end, but the middle of the link was like some weird combination, like whenever you use a link shortener.

I never opened this link or file, or whatever,
but I have actually been phished (tricked into giving account details) before (not on ROBLOX, though) and the format was somewhat similar.

Send Friend Request (Didn't happen on ROBLOX)---->Link to somewhat disguised site---->Lead to third party site---->Hook, line and sinker---> Account Value Dies significantly (In items)

So I sent a report for attempted account scam and moved on.

However, about a month later I get more links, it starts becoming repeated, I literally get a link every two days, more disguised links, some of them even saying like jpg or another web ending.
I'm on my third one now, and I got it today.

Is anyone else having this problem? Feels like i'm being targeted here.

Just turn PMs to friends only. And everything will be fine.

Checkmate.

No you aren't the only with this problem. Just report this messages or change your message settings to private.
