I'm getting at least 1 or 2 messages from different accounts sending me a link with some virus/account stealer(never bothered to go to it so im not sure what it is)

I think their should be some age limit or email verification before you can private message just to prevent this, I've witnessed many people having the same issue and how their account got 'hacked'. Another way to prevent this would be to block out certain websites that have common tags.

So far i've gotten 4 of these messages and its all telling me to go to the site gripdownload, Adding a block to that website would definitely help.

Thanks for reading.

Yea, I've gotten three of the messages, but never went to the site.

I also have a thread on this.

It says:
"Dear roblox,
There have been many messages from random people asking random questions, [facorite game, how long been on roblox, etc] and then at the bottom of the message, it says "Get Unlimited Robux [URL To a virus here.]"

So, what I'm asking for the time being is to censor any messages with the words "Get unlimited robux". It would stop people from going to these URL's and getting viruses.

P.S. Change your privacy settings so that only friends can message you, that's what I did after I got my 3rd message..

Don't you already have to verify email to PM?

Or is that just comments and forums?

I'm getting spambot messages more and more often in the last few days. I'm surprised the Roblox team still hasn't bothered to fix this massive security issue. I wonder how many gullible children have filled their parents' computers with viruses because of this. I've sent dozens of messages and reports to Roblox about it, yet they have ignored every single one.

Even if you change your PM permissions to followers/friends only, you will find tons of them on comments...

Mine is different, I get 8+ spam invites to Orion Offensive, the crappiest group on roblox, telling me to join. When you tell them to stop on their group wall and HR deletes your comment, I spammed their wall so they can see what it's like. One of their HR's PM'ed me saying not to spam and that spam is wrong, so I sent him all 178 OO spam messages from 139 separate users. Any way to stop ALL of the users in that group from PM'ing me without making my PM for friends and followers only or just friends or no one?

Same here. These Spam Bots are just awful. I agree with OP. There has to be some kind of age limit to comment or some way to block ######## with common tags. Some comment sections are made for suggestions or just to talk, but now all the front page games are flooded with spam bots with comments like "OMG GOT FREE ROBUX FROM ############ or "UMG GET UR FREE ROBUX HERE ############# I also get a bunch of #### from spam bots telling me about the damn ######### The sad thing people are actually falling for this crap. And real active ########## are trying to leech off this by telling the noobs that their game has free robux or crap like that. Only thing is, Roblox won't do anything about it. They did whatever they could about the tix, but they don't do anything about the spam bots. This is a nice ##### - https://www.roblox.com/This-is-a-nice-decal-item?id=405638293

You may not understand how this works, it's simple. We trick the ROBLOX server into accepting a modified survey which unlocks the ROBUX for the requested account.

THATS A LIE

Can't Roblox just add some filter where if something is repeated like 10 times it gets hashtagged or something.
