Hello ROBLOX. Most of you don't know me, all I do on the forums is make pointless stuff like this. So here you go.


A lot of players on ROBLOX have noticed these new followers and friend requests that have strange names such as ClickMe_asGh12 or 2938283382314434. A lot of people must want to be your friend, right? Wrong. Sure, there are plenty of people wanting friends on ROBLOX and would gladly be yours. However, these ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. There's a specific name for these accounts. They are commonly known as "Bots". What bots do is already clear. They go out and send friend requests and follow random users with a low follower count. Upon following their username's directions, they will be greeted with a profile that says something along the lines of "You are eligible to receive thousands of ROBUX for FREE. go to (Link)"

Once you go onto this website you are greeted by a "ROBLOX ROBUX Generator". To the untrained eye, this may look possibly legit. THEY ARE NOT. The website's design is pretty simple, with a header utilizing the outdated ROBLOX symbol. The most resent holiday will be implemented into a line saying basically what you read before claiming you will be rewarded. All you have to do is slide a ROBUX symbol all the way to the right, put in your username, and click generate.

You are then greeted with a fake progress meter saying "Connected to account (Username)" and followed by "Waiting for human verification". Upon this request, there will be a menu asking you to complete an offer, most likely being a survey for a gift card. Once completed, you will be taken back to the human verification screen, still waiting for completion. The site will never tell you it is completed. The site has successfully completed it's mission: to scam you.

Now most people think that their account will be stolen or deleted. THIS IS NOT TRUE. You read everywhere that scammers delete your account or steal it. THEY DO NOT. What is actually happening is that the completed surveys generate revenue for the sites owner. Owners of these sites can generate over tens of thousands of dollars every. day. NO JOKE.

There is no physical way to delete a ROBLOX account on the player's end. An account can be stolen, but once that is done, there's only two things that they can do: Transfer your current R$, or get you banned. The only scams who steal your account like that are within the ROBLOX website as a game.

I hope this helped clear up a little confusion on these new bot scams and prevent any more havoc than there already is. Goodbye.
