Seriously ROBLOX? You still haven't fixed this?
I have at least 15 messages in my inbox from the last 2 days saying:

Hello builder_guy, As a complementary gift for playing Phantom Forces you are eligible to receive a ROBUX game card code for over 25,000 ROBUX Claim your card anonymously @ robux.pet/claim

December is a month for celebration, community, and at ROBLOX, presents! We want to celebrate this festive season with you by giving out incredible free gifts this month!

scambots seem to target users with messages to public if you disable your messages to followers for a while then enable it to receive from everyone then they should be gone.

What they could do is include a captcha and force an email on sign up.
One email could only be linked to one or two accounts.

These spam bots can be easily dealt with.
Roblox could just make a system that detects when someone is sending messages too fast.
These bots are sending messages to everyone playing a specific game, so they are sending messages at a pretty fast rate.

If the system detects that the user is sending messages too fast, the user gets a Cooldown.
The user won't be able to send a message or chat for another hour or two.
If it continues then Roblox reviews the messages the user sent.
The user gets banned for spamming acc theft messages.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Set your messages to followers only, then after a week change it to everyone. They can't really do much about this.

All they need to do is put something in their code that checks for potential messages that can be identified as bots. For example if they send 15 messages with a similar title and body within 30 seconds, the code will detect it as a bot and disable them from messaging from 1 - 4hours.
