ROBLOX cards can be used to take away your account. How?

When someone gets their account stolen, they can use 2 options to retrieve it.
1) Use a credit card you've used to purchase something from ROBLOX as proof
And 2) use a ROBLOX CARD as proof.

Now since the other people will physically have the ROBLOX card, you're literally at their mercy.

Do not use ROBLOX cards from strangers on ROBLOX.

you could get back by saying it was the person who gave the card to you in the first place, then give evidence of it.

ROBLOX will take the card holders word over yours since they are the purchaser. Only way to truly combat this is to also have made purchases prior on your own cards.

also roblox doesn't know who bought a roblox card anyway because it's not sold by them exactly

the only thing you can do is have a receipt

no receipt, no evidence.

"how can your account be stolen by a roblox card code"

You can email ROBLOX when your account is stolen, and they ask for proof via the 2 options i put in the OP.

If you have proof with either a CC or a RC, you are the "account holder" in ROBLOX's eyes.

let me explain
person A buys roblox card and finds person B in a game

A talks to B and B is a poor NBCer, so A acts like an angel and gives him the card
B redeems it and is happy
A mails info@roblox.com saying the card didnt work and saying someone probably ran a bot guessing codes
their totally highly trained team of bots terminate B and give A a new card

ROBLOX generates the codes. All of the codes they make, they have catalogged. CTRL+f and search the code. If it matches to an activated code; then it's legit.

It's the same way with xbox live, PSN, itunes cards, etc etc.

If this makes no sense to you, then go ahead and accept a random ROBLOX card code. Be my guest there.

I'm just giving fair warnings. It's happened plenty of times on ROBLOX.

Not everyone is like that, though.

unknown, they don't log who purchased them but they do log when they're made active and when they're redeemed by who
their e-mail are just bots so they'll believe you if you tell them the code of your roblox card

@borsy

Well said. It's hard getting people to understand how things work.

Like i said, go ahead and accept a card from a random. Not my account.
