π¨ Roblox Scams: Deceptive Practices and Their Impact
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 moreιθ½ form.
π Misleading Ads and Clickbait Games in Roblox
The second paragraph delves into the issue of misleading advertisements and clickbait games on Roblox. It recounts a case where a user, attempting to achieve a high score in a clicking game, inadvertently made a purchase costing Robux due to the game's design. The speaker notes that Roblox has implemented a loading screen to mitigate such scams, giving users a chance to reconsider their actions before spending Robux. The paragraph also highlights the importance of being cautious with Roblox extensions, as they can pose security risks, and invites users to share their experiences with scams on the platform.

Transcripts
Roblox is big as scams there's been ways
of people stealing your password through
Discord and emails but the scams that I
want to talk about are the ones that are
within Roblox that are stealing millions
and millions of roox as well as your
personal information and some that are
still happening to this day so the first
scam that I want to talk about is one
that I saw on Tik Tok here check it out
all right so it says here so I was
looking for headless and found something
else so it's like a headless cat right
there cat ugc and it says the Headless
cat it's now up for grabs okay
so it's like another form of like the
headless horsemen and you can buy it for
300 Robo which is pretty cheap and yeah
there you go it's she's got the Headless
head right there but is this a scam here
let's read some of the comments here I'm
trying to buy but I ain't got the Roo
sadly can youall remind me when I get
Robux today wow so a lot of people think
this is real all right well I have the
map right here it says cat ugc and it
says limited the Headless cat so yeah
let's just go ahead and play it and I'll
show you how it actually scams people so
yeah you spawn in here and it says
headless Cat hello hello human ready for
a limited time treat oh boy Behold The
Headless cat wow I get to buy the
headless horsemen for only 300 Robo hot
dog okay it says buy item headless Cat
300 Robux let's do it okay and I
purchased it now you see in my inventory
it's not on here because what I
purchased wasn't the Headless cat I
pretty much bought a game pass and uh
this game is actually really popular
it's uh it's kind of going around
everywhere you can see by the amount of
dislikes it has it's a lot of people
that did like that yeah take a look at
that there's 11,000 members who joined
this group thinking that they're going
to get this item and it says this game
is officially back up and running and
yeah guys remember there's an entire
scam right here like a lot of these
scams are everywhere on Tik Tok like
there's this one right here it's
lyanna's ugc and she's got the exact
same headless scam right here so she's
got her ugc game and then right there
she's got to buy the Headless for how
much was it one
robox and it actually works except it
doesn't let me see what are the comments
do they work OMG it works I got so rich
using this method yeah I bet she got
rich from all the scabby that she did
does this actually work yes so yeah this
is lanna's ugc and this is a supposed
game right here and so let's see let's
join the game here so yeah the way these
scams work is that they supposedly have
this store so you see right here is the
headless horsemen which is now being
sold for 100 Robux you could also get
the core blocks for 70 but take a look
at this you click on it you're actually
just buying a Game Pass and this is just
a screenshot of the headless horsemen
see some of it it's like even cut off
and everything and same with core blocks
you see you don't even see the full
model of it so yeah again these are all
just scams and I feel like these scams
are only going to get worse and worse
with Halloween coming around so for
those of you who don't know the headless
horsemen is a legendary rare item that
is only sold by Roblox on October 31st
for 31,000 Robux which is like around
$300 or something like that and not a
lot of people can afford that much Roo
so there's a lot of scams going around
where people saying that they could buy
the headless horsemen for a cheap price
and yeah here's the core block as well
for 250 Roo again this is a scam and
yeah I remember this scam happening back
in October last year it said the
headless horsemen scams are going around
Tik Tok I mean I remember Creek craft
even doing a video about it where he
also explores the map and as you can see
he goes ahead and purchases the headless
horsemen but again he was buying the
game pass so yeah these scams are still
happening so just be careful and know
exactly what you're buying now the next
scame I want to talk about is also one
that's been happening pretty frequently
and a lot of people are saying it's like
the Roblox virus so a lot of people have
been getting this ad right here that's
on the left it says get Road tracker
today do you want to join someone who
has the joins turned off and it's just
got the girl from Brave over there not
sure what that's about and a lot of
people are getting this ad on the Roblox
website and uh it may seem harmless at
first but there's a few things one it's
promoting something that's outside of
Roblox something that is not allowed on
the Roblox website so I don't know who
allowed this ad but number two it's
stealing people's information and taking
their roox so Road tracker advertises
itself as a program that allows you to
join people's Ro Roblox games see it
says here type in their username in the
search box and try to locate their
server and yeah with that even if they
private their account so I could join
Creek Craft's game I could join
flamingo's game and I don't have to be
their friend or they don't need to
follow me or anything like that and so a
lot of people like to get these types of
extensions except that road tracker
actually steals your Roblox information
through your cookies and then if you
have Roo it uses it to create more ads
to further spread the entire scam like
here's an example of this person whose
account information was stolen and Road
tracker used their account to buy more
advertisements and therefore spreading
this virus type extension yeah at the
time that Creek craft recorded this
video there's 4,000 users with a
fourstar rating now that a lot of people
know that it's a virus it's at like 2.15
stars now unfortunately though there are
about 2,000 users since Creek Craft's
vide so it seems like a lot of people
still didn't know about this scam uh the
good news is is that crecraft did call
Roblox about it as soon as I wake up in
the morning I'm going to call Roblox I'm
going to inform them of this and
hopefully they can get these taken down
ASAP and uh yeah it looks like it did
work I haven't seen this ad on Roblox
since so you know good job Creek U but
there were some people on Twitter that
did post that road tracker was still
around like take a look at this they're
now saying they're trying to stop us
Never Surrender it's got Pluto right
there too leave Pluto alone so yeah it
seems like this virus is still around
Roblox it's just a little bit more
hidden so just be careful with that and
this isn't the first time something like
this has happened last year there's a
similar case with this program called
search blocks which had over 200,000
users all of which their information was
compromised and this extension was
pretty much the same as Road tracker
with having the same goal of finding
your favorite Roblox player it was
actually pretty crazy and uh a lot of
people thought that search blocks was
hacked or something but it was actually
the creator of search blocks themselves
that was doing these scams like take a
look at this the search blocks gu stole
22,000 Roo from this poor player right
here and yeah they use a similar method
to hacking players accounts this person
says if you're hacked it's because
because search blocks is hacked from
cookies so yeah take a look at this on
November 22nd the creator of search
blocks FIP pushed an update later that
day a large amount of users posted on
Twitter that most of their Roo and
limiteds were missing from their
accounts the good news is is that search
blocks has been deleted from the
Chrome's extension app it was actually
deleted the very next day of the hacking
and Roblox even restored people's
accounts and lost items so good job on
them and uh yeah i' just be careful with
all the different Roblox extensions you
may get um I only have one Roblox
extension but uh even that I'm a little
bit nervous about so yeah just be
cautious with that but another big
Roblox scam that was happening was when
you join these specific type of games
here take a look so this is this game
here that says how many times can you
click so this person is trying to get a
high score and clicking but in doing so
he accidentally bought something that
cost him some Robux but uh yeah that
scan was pretty popular back in the day
and uh unfortunately Roblox couldn't do
anything about this because it wasn't
really like hacking or doing anything
malicious because it did show the item
it's just the person misclicked I
actually found one of these games right
here it says how how fast can you click
so let's just go ahead and play it this
one doesn't have a scam though at least
not that I'm aware of so uh let me just
test it out all right so right here it
says how many times can you click okay
[Music]
[Music]
ready
and that was pretty good 206 clicks how
many clicks can you guys get let me know
in the comments down below but yeah
these types of games a little popup
would have to buy a product that you
didn't know you were buying and uh it
did get a lot of people and I guess the
way that Roblox fought against these
types of games was by now giving a
loading screen before you actually spend
your Roblox at least that's what I think
there's some pretty crazy and creative
scams going on around Roblox just be
careful with all that I actually want to
ask you guys have you ever been scammed
before in Roblox if so how much robloxx
did you lose let me know in the comments
down below don't forget to subscribe
goodbye
