So making it so you guys can reply to it this time so that it stays visible longer.
It's come to my attention that a ton of players recently have been falling victim to various cyber threats here on Roblox.
Let me make a few things clear before I begin:
1. I am in no way affiliated with Roblox or their staff. 2. In no way can I help you if you fall victim to something. 3. In no way do I intend to insult or undermine the education system regarding cyber safety.
These threats can come in many forms, but they primarily are in those off-site links that people post in comments, in messages, etc. Some may even appear to be a safe link. But don't be fooled.
So, I'm sure plenty of you have seen comments with links in them about Free Robux, limiteds, BC, etc. None of those are legitimate. HOWEVER!
A new method (either mail or message, not sure yet) is going around about accounts that are going to be deleted if you don't fill out their form. This is NOT legit. The link will take your account from you. Simply going to the page could be enough for it to happen.
Same with those 'Free Robux' and 'Free BC' comments. If you do what it says you WILL lose your account, and if you visit the link, you could lose it, depending on how it's set up.
Unfortunately, people will always be greedy or in a moment of panic make a foolish decision, so I can't help all of you. Be smart, and be safe.
School's don't do enough to teach internet safety and security, due to most of them locking down which sites can be visited; which is also why most people don't learn until it's too late.
Keep yourselves secure!!
1. Enable 2 step verification and have a verified account. 2. Don't click strange links, even if they appear safe at first glance 3. Don't give away information 4. Don't install or accept any files from people, even if you think you know them. 5. Use an ad blocker, it'll prevent MANY popups and other security threats from occuring in the first place. 6. Be smart and stay calm, many mistakes are made simply out of panic. 7. Keep your programs up to date, especially flash, java, and your antimalware and antivirus. 8. Do not share or post any suspicious link with others, in messages, forums, etc, as that means you could be held responsible for the creation and distribution of harmful software. If doing it as a joke: DON'T, It's not funny.
Stay Safe!

| The bit about an ad blocker is a general thing, since Roblox shouldn't have any ads that are malicious, you shouldn't need it on the site, but when browsing random sites and visiting click-bait, you should have one. |

Another very important bit.
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THESE MESSAGES YOU'RE GETTING ON THE FORUMS!!!!
You're spreading the fake link around, and putting even more people at risk.
You can give a general summary of what it says, but DO NOT POST THE LINK!
Roblox will NEVER send a message like that to your inbox. If anything it would be on the blog, or in your notifications, never Inbox. Not to mention they'd give you several weeks notice, not two or three days. |
