Wow. I mean, wow. I've seen it all on this site, from attempts to take accounts through games and teleports to games that I wasn't even planning on playing. Roblox has been getting more and more people trying to scam here lately, and I've actually found ways to best avoid these scams. I just wanted to share with you guys what you should be careful of when playing as these are the ones I've seen the most.
False Title:
These games have titles in all caps and usually resemble games that have previously been very popular. However, upon joining the game, you are teleported to something that has nothing to do with the original. These are usually at the top rated section of the games page, and there's an easy way to avoid them. You'll usually be able to spot them by looking at the amount of players in a game. If it's 0 or 1, it's probably one of these. Also, users who post these games appear to do it in mass (and you can tell this by going to their profile and looking at the games they've posted).
User Scams:
I've actually seen this quite a few times. Games will include GUIs that look like official ROBLOX posts that ask you to log in. This can happen in almost any game, and I've even been invited to one of these games through a party. A user named trening has attempted to invite me to this game and try to take my account, but I left the place as soon as I saw the scam. Be careful of this user and others like him (and yes, I've reported both him and his game).
Account Scams:
This one is usually pretty obvious. Players will ask to donate robux to you and will tell you that the only way to do this is to go into your account. If you see this, simply report the person and ignore them. It's pretty simple.
The reason I decided to make this post was to just remind people on here to be careful. I'm not trying to do ROBLOX's job for it by saying what's the best thing to do, I'm trying to promote common sense. Just be careful. And no, I haven't ever given out my account to any of theses scams.

EDIT: Sorry, ignore the part about the user. That wasn't the actual person, and I apparently can't remove his name from the post.

I know THAT. :P I was saying that if you're going to try new games, you should probably be cautious and this is what to expect.

Reply to kingofpwning: Well, it's kinda important to say. TL;DR: just stay away from things that look suspicious.

EDIT: Post closed because I just realized that this is the wrong section. xD Roblox really needs a delete post or edit post option here since this is basically meaningless now. Sorry bout that guys.
