I swear to god. We need this stopped. Many alt accounts are being generated to message people that includes a link to a scam website.

Agreed. What I did was basically made it so only friends can message me because of it. |

| I swear they are making accounts to flood up someone's inbox (including me) they are noobs who just make alt accounts (just to stop their main account from getting banned) because they should ban their main accounts for creating alt accounts and go start flooding our inbox. |

Dude, it is not that hard, to go into your settings and change the privacy to friends only, or nobody. Followers, won't work because then the ALT's,will just follow you then message you and if you pick following you pick followers also,this is not that complicated.

I understand your pain...
Whilst I haven't received as much as 10 spam links, just 1 is enough to make me annoyed.
My best suggestion is to report and ignore these accounts in an attempt to get them banned. But of course this is not enough as there is no limit to accounts you can make.
I think a good feature for Roblox to add would be not being able to send messages unless you verify your account, this would seem like the best way to combat these bots. Hopefully this feature will be added... In fact I'm going to suggest it right now :D |

I get those messages a lot because I'm a Dev...
I feel like Devs, and players with BC+ / NBC with past BC get hit the hardest by this... It's probably not at complete random. |

They just want to steal your account, these links lead to KLers or some virus just archive it.

| I hate these type of people for just the way they look. I'm sorry if that sounds rude, and I sure am not all that good myself, but they used to piss me off, for some odd reason. |

You should think about changing your messages to friends only.

Yeah, must be some bot-creating program. The username contains a given name and a surname, then a random number. |

| I am in a group, that I get a lot of messages from relating to it. I have no intentions of friending all of them, so I don't want to turn my messages to friends only. We need an admin to stop this. Poisionip ban them. |
