Hey, I'm Turbo.

Scamming is one of the millions of issues ROBLOX has. It's nearly impossible to prevent. But here, I'm going to teach you about how to avoid being scammed.

1.) VIP/Admin T-Shirt. A lot of them are fake, but before you buy one, you need to make sure it's official. If it's not by the owner of the game, DO NOT BUY IT. Also, make sure the shirt was mentioned in the description of the game you wanted VIP to. Check if the comments are disabled. That's a HUGE hint, telling you it's a scam.

2.) Draw Me! Too many of these things are fake. First thing you need to do, is check in the creator's decals on his profile. If he has drawn people, STILL DO NOT BUY THE SHIRT. You need to make sure he hasn't copied those decals. If he has, it's a scam. Again, check if the comments are disabled. That's a HUGE hint, telling you it's a scam.

3.) This was going to be for hat trading, but the trading system has come out now. Which is great.

4.) Threats. I was recently threatened by a guy who said he was an exploiter. What I did was tell him to go exploit my places. So he told be it would be done by 5 PM. When someone says that, it's a huge hint they don't actually hack. Especially if they want robux from you, or one of your hats. JUST to be sure they are not actual hackers, make all of your places inactive. After that, report the player for threatening to hack your account. They will check all the messages that player sent you, along with posted comments and in-game log chat. Then, they will guarente ban that player. From a month's ban, to a forever.

If I've missed any type of scam, please post about it in the comments, and I'll tell you how to prevent yourself from it.

Listen up! There are also comments in hats, and places labeled as spam. They contain links to sites which can give you viruses, or trick you into getting your account stolen. A major one asks you to enter your username and pass into the site, and tells you to select how much robux you would like put in to it. This is a complete scam. Your information will go into a part of the site which the admin can only access, and he can get into your account using the pass and username you gave him.

Then, there are the less threatening commentary posts. Here's an example:

Telamon told me how to get 1,000,000 robux!
First, you got to logout.
Then, log back in.
Now, press F5.

These simply waste your time.

I bought a $R200 "Draw me" and it turned out to be fake. (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT). Never buy a draw me. I mean, why would you want one?

Yes, true. Not everything is a scam. BUT, this guide tells you how to figure out if it is or is not a scam.

What do you do in a situation people none stop trying to scam you?
Or what should you do IF you get scammed?
And,what can you do to prevent from getting scammed for a group,like you give someone 100,000 robux for a popular group such as WIJ.
