Roblox 101: How to Avoid Free Robux Scams (2023)

Roblox is meant to be a safe place online where you use the tools available to create amazing games from your imagination. Unfortunately, the platform also has a lot of scammers who want to get you out of Robux.

Robux is Roblox's in-game currency, which you use to buy access to the game, avatar accessories, and other items. You can get it by purchasing it directly from the Roblox website or by purchasing gift cards at retail stores like Target or Wal-Mart.

Here's the catch: Robux can be exchanged for real money, making it attractive to scammers. Fortunately, you can avoid falling victim to Robux theft by reading this guide.

Before we get into the details, let's get one thing straight:no free robux. If someone approaches you with that offer, that person is running a scam to push your money, items, or other items. Robux is one of the ways the Roblox Corporation makes money, so you'd be wrong to think you could get them for free.

What is Robux?

You can buy 880 Robux for $9.99 on the Roblox website if you have a Roblox Premium account. If you don't have a Premium account, you will get 800 Robux for $9.99. This means that a Robux is worth around 80 cents in the real world when you buy it directly from Roblox.

When you acquire at least 100,000 Robux (by selling items, using gift cards, etc.)Exchange requirements for developers(opens in a new window), you can cash your Robux for real money. You will now earn approximately $350 for every 100,000 Robux you sell to the Roblox Corporation. In other words, a Robux is worth just over a quarter of its purchase price. It's a fantastic exchange rate that attracts scammers.

What kind of Robux scams are there?

There are many Robux scams in the world and they are designed to do three things: steal your Robux, steal your username and password, and steal your items. Here are the main methods by which crooks execute Robux scams:

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the scam, you should know that most scam accounts fall into either the "bot" or "phishing" categories. Bot accounts are created keeping in mind the current drawbacks. Such accounts are often reported to the Roblox Corporation and banned from the platform. Unfortunately, creating bot accounts is easy. They do not require email confirmation, so an entire army of bots can be created in a matter of minutes. These are the accounts that send messages and chats to their targets in the hope that they will click on a malicious link.

Phishing accounts (pronounced "fished") are accounts that have been stolen. Two actions are likely to occur when a scammer steals an account. The first is nothing. The account login information is simply stored in the attacker's database for later use in a massive fraud attack. The second? The attacker instantly changes the password to lock it out, trades all items associated with that account for little or no cost, transfers all Robux, or uses the account for phishingOther thingsaccounts: starting with everyone on that account's friends list. To avoid this, you must learnhow to avoid phishing hits.

If your account is stolen,contact Roblox Corporation to get it back(opens in a new window). Don't wait and don't be ashamed. You must act quickly if you want to get her account back. A Roblox Corporation representative will contact you and guide you through the account recovery steps. Pro tip: keep your redeemed Robux cards handy. A customer service representative may need you to read the numbers used to verify that you own the stolen account. Honestly, if you're at this point, the scammer will likely delete your account. However, keep a positive mind.

roblox talk

One of the first places you'll find a scam is in a Roblox game chat room. The fake account will say something like "Want free R$? Visit [a website] to get your free Robux!" Roblox Corporation does not allow links in game chats, so scammers have found creative ways to mention the URL instead of inserting a link. These links often lead to a malicious web page, so do not visit them.

roblox messages

There is an email-like system for sending messages to your friends on the Roblox website. By default, this feature is turned on so that "Anyone" can send you a message. Fraudulent accounts send large amounts of spam to random users in an attempt to get them to click on malicious links. You can configure your settings so that no one can send messages to you or only your friends. Remember that your friends can be hacked and any messages from them may not be from them.

Free Robux Fake Transmissions

if you visitRico, YouTube or othersvideo game streaming services, you will find streamers promising free Robux and asking you to let go of your hand in the chat. These are fake transmissions. They are actually looping images! Many viewers believe that these streamers are offering free offers, so they click on a malicious chat link in the hope of getting free Robux.

There's an easy way to tell if a stream is fake: just look at how long a person has been streaming. No streamer for 16 hours straight. Also, if you watch a stream long enough, you'll see a loop. Again, don't click on links from unknown sources.

fake web pages

Pages designed to look like legitimate businesses appear all the time. These pages encourage you to enter your Roblox username and password to get free Robux. Once again, these are fake. This is usually the last place you go when a scammer tries to steal your account.

free robux for trading app

There are scam companies that ask you to download an app on your phone and follow a series of steps to get free Robux. In general, they will ask you to:

1. to search

2. Download and apply

3. Fill in your personal information such as first name, last name, Roblox username

4. Play for a certain amount of time

5. Complete tasks in different apps like leveling a game to level 4 or completing a tutorial

These apps and offers are designed to get you to spend time viewing their ads, which translates into revenue for these companies. So the 10,000 points you've earned in the last three months will give you... around 100 Robux. The saying "time is money" was coined for these scams.

downloaded programs

Some scams require you to download software to your PC or mobile device. Once installed, the software can do pretty much anything you want. If you're already logged into Roblox, the program will open a new browser that you can't see and just grab all your Robux and account items. Do not download programs from unknown sites.

javascript attack

Some videos and websites try to convince you to open your browser "console" and enter a script that will give you free Robux. That code is JavaScript, a scripting language that can do almost anything the user can do on the client side of the browser. By pasting this code into the console, the browser steals items and Robux. Fortunately, you won't be able to change your password because your current password is required to change your account.

Still, that doesn't mean you're safe. The script may display a fake login page or ask you to enter your password (your username is already on the screen).

scraped off cookies

The most advanced way to steal someone's account is through the cookie scraper. This type of scam involves clicking a link that takes you quickly to a website that extracts cookies from your browser and sends you to another website. Most people would never know or even realize that something happened.

Cookie scrapers are bad because they don't require the attacker to know your username or password. Have you ever noticed that you don't always have to log in to Roblox? This is because your browser stores the authorization within a cookie. The attacker only needs to take the stolen cookie, place it in the browser, and refresh the page. You would never know that someone is now in your account, ready to steal it (or prepare to phish more accounts).

avoid blows

The easiest way to avoid scams is to remember that there is no such thing as free Robux. Period. Robux giveaways on YouTubers' channels are common, so here's what to look for from a trusted source:

1. A broadcast of less than 2 hours duration.

2. A streamer who does not use group funds

3. A streamer is giving away Robux cards

If a streamer promises to pay viewers with group funds (Robux earned or purchased for a Roblox group), they should be careful for two reasons. First of all, it is against the terms of service. Second, it's probably fake. That said, if a streamer is giving away Robux cards, it's likely a legitimate source. Roblox Corporation authorizes YouTubers to enter Robux giveaways on one condition: Robux must be purchased as a gift card. Be careful and have fun.
