Quick answer: The most common Roblox scams are free Robux generators, fake login pages, trust trades, fake giveaways, Robux-for-items deals, fake Roblox staff messages and browser console scripts. The rule that stops nearly all of them: never share your password or email codes, never log in outside roblox.com, and never send items first on a promise.

Quick steps
- Pause. If something promises free Robux or rare items, stop before clicking.
- Check the address. Only enter details on roblox.com or in the official app.
- Use official systems. Trade, chat and buy only inside Roblox's own features.
- Report and block. Use the Report Abuse button and block the user.
The 12 scams
1. Free Robux generators. Sites ask for your username, show a fake “generating” animation, then demand a survey, app download or password. No Robux ever arrives.
2. Fake login pages. A link leads to a page that looks like Roblox and asks you to log in. The address is not roblox.com. Typing your password hands over your account.
3. Trust trades. Someone asks you to give an item first, promising to return it with extra. They block you instead. Real trades happen in the official trade window at the same time.
4. Fake giveaways. Accounts or videos announce big giveaways but require you to join outside sites, give account details or send items first.
5. Robux for items or accounts. Offers to sell Robux cheaply or buy your items for real money break Roblox rules. Many use stolen payment details, and accounts involved can be banned.
6. Fake Roblox staff. Messages claim to be from Roblox moderators and threaten a ban unless you “verify” your account. Roblox does not message players asking for passwords.
7. Browser console scripts. A video says pasting code into your browser’s developer console unlocks items. The code steals your login session instead.
8. Fake games. Games with titles promising free Robux or admin powers sometimes push you to buy game passes that do nothing, or link you to outside sites.
9. Item duplication tricks. Scammers claim they can duplicate your limited items if you give them temporarily. Duplication does not exist for players.
10. Group funds scams. Offers to pay you from group funds if you join a group and complete tasks, after which nothing is paid.
11. Fake gift card sellers. Cheap Roblox gift card codes on social media are often stolen or already used.
12. Off-platform chat moves. Someone asks to continue a conversation on another app, where Roblox’s safety tools cannot protect you. This is a common step in many scams.

Talking to kids about scams
Give children one easy rule: never share your password with anyone, even friends, and tell a parent when someone offers free Robux. Most scams aimed at children rely on excitement and pressure, so teaching them to pause works well.
