General Scams
An example of an advertisement used by a scammer. Note that these are often not at all related to Roblox characters; and are merely artwork stolen from other artists.
Since summer 2014, a few female accounts have been sending users a message containing a link to a phishing site.
A direct message scam where the scammer asks the target to grab a HAR file using Inspect Element, which would allow them to access their account.
An example of a scam site claiming it will log in to the user's account and add a hack that will give them a Limited item.
A place scam that tricks users into thinking it's going to give them Robux and Builder's Club (now Premium).
An account saying that he got Robux from a website with the address censored due to security reasons.
Tons of scams. Included usernames, and a few other messages from something else. The usernames are censored, same with the scam sites, for security reasons.
A photo showing a scam message that "rewards" the player with free Robux. This scam targets popular games, as the message was sent while playing Redwood Prison.
Another of these chat conversations of these fake free Robux notice some words have some letters repeated.
An example photo of a game using a fake "player list" GUI to look like there are people in-game, however the game is only limited to 1 player only, and most of the users don't exist.
An example of the 2016 "december" message when players play a popular game, however, this is censored by Roblox, and the bots are now terminated.
A bot saying this "crazy trick" gives them loads of Robux. It does not and the link has been censored so the user can have their account safe.
As of late May to early June 2017, there have been numerous reports of "DontClickMe" and "ReadMyDesc" accounts that are sending users friend requests and following them. This image shows a Robloxian who has a whole page of these scammers.
An example of the non-stop bots sending friend requests. This time, it is a whole page with the name "ReadMyProfile".
Another example of bot scams from 2017 sending friend requests with another username, "ReadMyProfile"
As of mid-July 2017, new scam bots with random names ranging from numbers, to Guests, etc. show that they are sending friend requests to random people. As shown here, this Robloxian blocked them. It is advised to block these scam bots. (Notice the amount of friends they have)
Cropped photo of scam bots posting offsite ROBUX scams through the wall. Each post is different, but include the same link and Arabic characters. These are scam bots as of the first week of August 2017.
This image shows an advertisement for the "invisible torso" scam. Hovering the cursor over the ad would show the word "WOW" next to it. Notice how invisible is misspelled as "invisable", and if closely spotted, the torso is photoshopped. The ad started appearing after August 15, 2017.
Like the other invisible torso scam on the left of this image, this shows an improved version of the advertisement; this time spelling everything correctly and looks less photoshopped. However, looking really closely, the player can see that it is still indeed photoshopped.
This new invisible torso ad has just appeared. Although it may seem legit, the avatar with the dominus is just a model and the creator just removed the torso.
Tons of scams. Found in Weight Lifting Simulator 2 in the "You reached 1000 strength!" badge. Links are censored in Carbor font for security.
Red bots were attacked November 2017 entitled decal lightsaber. this link has been censored for security reasons
A MYWOT review on the scam website, and on Roblox, he changed the scam link to roblox.com for safety reasons.
This is a game that links users to an external website. Servers have more than 6 players and has more playing than visits.
A site which employs the survey scam and has been linked by scambots in late 2017 and 2018. (The notifications on the right are fake and use randomized usernames.)
One of the scam games displayed on Roblox's front page. Note: These games are faked and that the bot account bought their way to the front game.
This is a recent bot that sends messages claiming that they are launching Roblox V2. In this site, they can "redeem your 25k ROBUX" by entering their nickname and age, and they can download Roblox V2 Beta. The executable's size is 5 MB. Do not try to open this file. Opening this file will result in data loss. If the user insists to launch it, use empty virtual machine. It allows the attacker to remotely control their computer.
Example of a user that joins random games and uses a command that shows he got Robux, making players think Roblox typed the message.
Scam videos of games and fake promotional codes that claim to give players free Robux.
A game using a fake player list, which made it look like there are many people in-game, however there are actually two players in the server only
A free Robux scam bot messages (in red bracket) found in Jailbreak.
A scam ad that claims to give the user a Super Super Happy Face for free. Once you get in the game, it prompts you to do a small Obby. Once you complete the obby, it shows a screen similar to Roblox's login screen, and asks for your password. NEVER enter your password anywhere except the official login page.
Another scam ad that claims to give free pets in Adopt Me. Once you get into the game, it fakes to send a trade request from NewFissy, then prompts you to enter your password. NEVER enter your password anywhere except the official Roblox login page.
Another Adopt Me scam ad.
A way of scamming where they put {System}, to make it seem like it is real. Address is censored due to security reasons.

Spam/Scambots
In general, the Spam/Scambots avatars often were colorful and wore the man's face.
One of the last forms the Spambots/Scambots took before ending the first time. It is still used today. (Common)
The scambots can also look like ROBLOX's avatar.

Robux Generator Scams
A fake ROBLOX generator that comes up when the player searches "Free Robux" in internet search pages. This is immediately recognizable as fake because it is using the old logo, and Tix are now unobtainable.
