About a year ago, I got scammed out of a Rainbow Shaggy. I heard of people who got their items back after getting scammed so I hoped I'd be one of them. I'd never been scammed before
After a few days I got this reply--
https://twitter.com/theemblaze/status/586818136739094528
Someone told me to add pictures to my email, so i did, waited a few days, got the same reply.
I edited the email a bunch and got the same reply EVERY TIME. Then I remembered what the guy did with my item. He sold it for real money and quit. I knew this wouldn't get me my item back but I thought it could get him punished, or give me some closure.
I thought. Woke up a few days later Same. Stupid. Reply.
He broke the rules >again< and he still didn't get punished.
And if scamming is against the rules why don't you do anything about it? Jeez. I could scam all of my friends [who are very rich lel] and not get punished if you let stuff like this slide. If I had sold the item I'd have well over a thousand dollars (in robux) |

@TheEmblaze, Same thing happened to me, I was scammed out of a Legit. What do ROBLOX say? They want to verify I am the original owner of the account. Jeez, ROBLOX, get your act together and give me the legit back. They do nothing to help you whatsoever. I wonder why I even emailed them in the first place. :/ |

| Sure, I'd like to know how it's happening. Are you using the official trade system correctly, as the ROBLOX rules say you should? |

Yes, I don't do offsite deals My "Scam" happend back in june and roblox did nothing to satisfy the user that got scammed, tbh idk how you guys expect to show no support to your users that are making your money grow "LMaD" is the top of your income and you just let us get it stolen and do nothing

@gordonrox24
basically
a shady old friend asked if he could borrow it. I let him, he gave it back. he asked about an hour later and he was acting very differently. i let him have it. he said he needed to reset his router the next morning he told me he was keylogged but the item wasn't on his account and the guy who had it only had it because the key logger was paid $100 over paypal
i was really down for a few months after that because i spent 2 years building and scripting the game that got me enough money to buy it

imo items shouldn't only get restored when accounts are accessed by others
adding to when i said before, You can't have a website full of gullible little kids and not help them when they get scammed.
I have NEVER seen you guys ban scammers for scamming items. There was an LMaDer, IceJJFish who scammed a domino crown and got away without even something as little as a warning. Then there was Godsend, another scammer who scammed for about 3 years without getting a ban
I know a guy who went to Roblox's HQ just to get his hat back from a scammer. If he didn't he' still be dirt poor today
Why is scamming against the rules if it's barely punishable? |

| Unfortunately, that does sound like a case where there isn't much we can do. The ROBLOX rules are pretty clear in saying "ROBLOX will not guarantee nor refund users for trades made outside of the trading and selling systems ROBLOX provides it users", and it also is pretty clear in saying that you shouldn't be lending accounts, which includes the items on the accounts. Making deals to borrow or lend items is a trade made outside of the systems we provide. ROBLOX has no lending system. If you decide to do that anyway, I unfortunately don't think there is much we can do for you. We can certainly look into people accessing accounts that aren't theirs with the intent to scam, but if you willingly make a trade with somebody, as far as we're concerned, that trade is pretty much final. |

@OP
It is impossible to be scammed in a trade, if someone tells you to QUICK ACCEPT, that means they trying to scam you, It would have been a smart move if you viewed the trade and their current price and what you were getting instead of believing that all people will actually put in the trade window what they say in lets say TRADE HANGOUT, just because they say it and you believe thats what would be in the trade, and you just go accepting it, without making sure, that was of your own error, and ROBLOX can’t do anything about it. It’s not really scamming, but its just that someone may of changed their mind, thats why you always view your trades carefully before accepting. |
