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.
A game creator confirming that a VIP shirt for his game is a scam.
A warning banner telling players about the survey scam.
A donation scam.
"Invisible Torso" scam
Since summer 2014, a few female accounts have been sending users a message containing a link to a phishing site.
Example of a fearmongering scam. The user is not affiliated with Roblox in any way.
Another form of private message scam.
Scam website.
A ROBUX generator scam message.
"Free" Robux scam.
An inbox spammed with female account Robux scam messages.
Female account scam messages using different usernames.
Fake log in screen ingame.
Maintenance scam that was found ingame.
A scam offering a fake reward.
After entering a password.
A photo showing a fake Roblox card scam.
A photo showing the fake "Reward Receipt" scam in a game.
An example of a phishing place.
Reward scam on iOS.
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.
.png "Screenshot (15).png (23 KB)")
A Robux scam website, links to it are mostly found in comments of games.
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.
Comments section full of scams. (endings are censored 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.
Game passes that are fake.
A chat conversation that contains a fake free Robux site link which asks for login information.
An invisible shirt scam. On the advertisement, it shows it is real, but the shirt is just an image.
Another female scam message.
Another chat conversation that contains a fake free Robux site link.
Another of these chat conversations of these fake free Robux notice some words have some letters repeated.
An old scam bot from 2015.
Some bots giving a link to a scam website for playing game.
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.
Example of the DontClickMe scam on the Followers page.
ClickMe profile page. Links have been censored for safety as well as user ID.
Another example of the female bot scam message from 2014. Names and links have been blocked for privacy.
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.
Another example of the Bots sending friend requests with another name,"ReadMyProfile".
An example of the non-stop bots sending friend requests. This time, it is a whole page with the name "ReadMyProfile".
A readmyprofile account gets restricted.
Another example of bot scams from 2017 sending friend requests with another username, "ReadMyProfile"
Newest Scam Bots of July 2017. Some of them are online, it means that they are sending friend requests to random people.
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)
Spam bots as of 2017.
Latest scam bots as of August 2017.
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.

A scam "Roblox" V2 message.
This is a recent bot that sends messages claiming that they are launching Roblox V2.
