This paragraph discusses the prevalence of scams within the Roblox platform, focusing on two main types. The first scam involves tricking users into purchasing game passes under the guise of acquiring limited edition items like the 'Headless Cat' for a low price. The second scam, referred to as the 'Roblox virus', is an ad promoting a program called 'Road tracker' that claims to allow users to join any Roblox game, regardless of privacy settings. However, this program is revealed to steal personal information and Robux through cookie exploitation, creating more ads to propagate the scam. The paragraph also mentions a similar past incident involving 'Search blocks', which compromised user information on a large scale. The speaker commends Creek Craft for alerting Roblox about the 'Road tracker' scam, which seems to have been partially addressed, but warns that it may still be lurking in a more隐蔽 form.

play02:11

play02:13

scams work is that they supposedly have

play02:16

this store so you see right here is the

play02:17

headless horsemen which is now being

play02:19

sold for 100 Robux you could also get

play02:21

the core blocks for 70 but take a look

play02:23

at this you click on it you're actually

play02:25

just buying a Game Pass and this is just

play02:27

a screenshot of the headless horsemen

play02:28

see some of it it's like even cut off

play02:30

and everything and same with core blocks

play02:32

you see you don't even see the full

play02:33

model of it so yeah again these are all

play02:35

just scams and I feel like these scams

play02:37

are only going to get worse and worse

play02:38

with Halloween coming around so for

play02:40

those of you who don't know the headless

play02:41

horsemen is a legendary rare item that

play02:44

is only sold by Roblox on October 31st

play02:46

for 31,000 Robux which is like around

play02:49

$300 or something like that and not a

play02:51

lot of people can afford that much Roo

play02:53

so there's a lot of scams going around

play02:54

where people saying that they could buy

play02:56

the headless horsemen for a cheap price

play02:58

and yeah here's the core block as well

play03:00

for 250 Roo again this is a scam and

play03:03

yeah I remember this scam happening back

play03:05

in October last year it said the

play03:07

headless horsemen scams are going around

play03:08

Tik Tok I mean I remember Creek craft

play03:10

even doing a video about it where he

play03:11

also explores the map and as you can see

play03:13

he goes ahead and purchases the headless

play03:15

horsemen but again he was buying the

play03:17

game pass so yeah these scams are still

play03:19

happening so just be careful and know

play03:20

exactly what you're buying now the next

play03:22

scame I want to talk about is also one

play03:23

that's been happening pretty frequently

play03:25

and a lot of people are saying it's like

play03:26

the Roblox virus so a lot of people have

play03:28

been getting this ad right here that's

play03:30

on the left it says get Road tracker

play03:32

today do you want to join someone who

play03:34

has the joins turned off and it's just

play03:36

got the girl from Brave over there not

play03:37

sure what that's about and a lot of

play03:39

people are getting this ad on the Roblox

play03:41

website and uh it may seem harmless at

play03:43

first but there's a few things one it's

play03:46

promoting something that's outside of

play03:47

Roblox something that is not allowed on

play03:49

the Roblox website so I don't know who

play03:50

allowed this ad but number two it's

play03:52

stealing people's information and taking

play03:54

their roox so Road tracker advertises

play03:56

itself as a program that allows you to

play03:58

join people's Ro Roblox games see it

play04:00

says here type in their username in the

play04:02

search box and try to locate their

play04:03

server and yeah with that even if they

play04:06

private their account so I could join

play04:07

Creek Craft's game I could join

play04:08

flamingo's game and I don't have to be

play04:10

their friend or they don't need to

play04:11

follow me or anything like that and so a

play04:13

lot of people like to get these types of

play04:14

extensions except that road tracker

play04:16

actually steals your Roblox information

play04:18

through your cookies and then if you

play04:20

have Roo it uses it to create more ads

play04:22

to further spread the entire scam like

play04:24

here's an example of this person whose

play04:26

account information was stolen and Road

play04:28

tracker used their account to buy more

play04:30

advertisements and therefore spreading

play04:32

this virus type extension yeah at the

play04:34

time that Creek craft recorded this

play04:36

video there's 4,000 users with a

play04:38

fourstar rating now that a lot of people

play04:40

know that it's a virus it's at like 2.15

play04:42

stars now unfortunately though there are

play04:44

about 2,000 users since Creek Craft's

play04:47

vide so it seems like a lot of people

play04:48

still didn't know about this scam uh the

play04:50

good news is is that crecraft did call

play04:52

Roblox about it as soon as I wake up in

play04:54

the morning I'm going to call Roblox I'm

play04:56

going to inform them of this and

play04:59

hopefully they can get these taken down

play05:00

ASAP and uh yeah it looks like it did

play05:02

work I haven't seen this ad on Roblox

play05:04

since so you know good job Creek U but

play05:06

there were some people on Twitter that

play05:08

did post that road tracker was still

play05:09

around like take a look at this they're

play05:11

now saying they're trying to stop us

play05:13

Never Surrender it's got Pluto right

play05:16

there too leave Pluto alone so yeah it

play05:18

seems like this virus is still around

play05:20

Roblox it's just a little bit more

play05:22

hidden so just be careful with that and

play05:24

this isn't the first time something like

play05:25

this has happened last year there's a

play05:27

similar case with this program called

play05:29

search blocks which had over 200,000

play05:31

users all of which their information was

play05:34

compromised and this extension was

play05:36

pretty much the same as Road tracker

play05:37

with having the same goal of finding

play05:39

your favorite Roblox player it was

play05:41

actually pretty crazy and uh a lot of

play05:42

people thought that search blocks was

play05:44

hacked or something but it was actually

play05:46

the creator of search blocks themselves

play05:48

that was doing these scams like take a

play05:49

look at this the search blocks gu stole

play05:51

22,000 Roo from this poor player right

play05:54

here and yeah they use a similar method

play05:56

to hacking players accounts this person

play05:58

says if you're hacked it's because

play05:59

because search blocks is hacked from

play06:00

cookies so yeah take a look at this on

play06:02

November 22nd the creator of search

play06:04

blocks FIP pushed an update later that

play06:06

day a large amount of users posted on

play06:08

Twitter that most of their Roo and

play06:10

limiteds were missing from their

play06:11

accounts the good news is is that search

play06:13

blocks has been deleted from the

play06:14

Chrome's extension app it was actually

play06:16

deleted the very next day of the hacking

play06:17

and Roblox even restored people's

play06:19

accounts and lost items so good job on

play06:21

them and uh yeah i' just be careful with

play06:23

all the different Roblox extensions you

play06:24

may get um I only have one Roblox

play06:27

extension but uh even that I'm a little

play06:28

bit nervous about so yeah just be

play06:30

cautious with that but another big

play06:32

Roblox scam that was happening was when

play06:34

you join these specific type of games

play06:36

here take a look so this is this game

play06:37

here that says how many times can you

play06:39

click so this person is trying to get a

play06:40

high score and clicking but in doing so

play06:42

he accidentally bought something that

play06:44

cost him some Robux but uh yeah that

play06:46

scan was pretty popular back in the day

play06:48

and uh unfortunately Roblox couldn't do

play06:50

anything about this because it wasn't

play06:52

really like hacking or doing anything

play06:53

malicious because it did show the item

play06:55

it's just the person misclicked I

play06:57

actually found one of these games right

play06:58

here it says how how fast can you click

play07:00

so let's just go ahead and play it this

play07:01

one doesn't have a scam though at least

play07:03

not that I'm aware of so uh let me just

play07:05

test it out all right so right here it

play07:06

says how many times can you click okay

play07:16

[Music]

play07:23

[Music]

play07:28

ready

play07:29

and that was pretty good 206 clicks how

play07:31

many clicks can you guys get let me know

play07:33

in the comments down below but yeah

play07:34

these types of games a little popup

play07:35

would have to buy a product that you

play07:37

didn't know you were buying and uh it

play07:39

did get a lot of people and I guess the

play07:41

way that Roblox fought against these

play07:42

types of games was by now giving a

play07:44

loading screen before you actually spend

play07:46

your Roblox at least that's what I think

play07:48

there's some pretty crazy and creative

play07:49

scams going on around Roblox just be

play07:52

careful with all that I actually want to

play07:53

ask you guys have you ever been scammed

play07:55

before in Roblox if so how much robloxx

play07:57

did you lose let me know in the comments
