If your child plays Roblox, it's time to pay attention. Scammers have come up with a new scheme: they trick kids into handing over their account login details, then take everything inside — in-game currency Robux, skins, and personal information.
How the scam works
The scheme is simple and designed for children. Criminals promise free Robux, rare items, or access to a "secret" mode. To get it, they ask the child to enter their username and password on a third-party site that looks like the real Roblox website. The child enters the data — and the account is gone.
Sometimes they ask the child to install a "cheat" or "hack" — in reality, it's a program that steals passwords. Other times, someone pretending to be a friend messages them in chat and asks to "borrow" Robux or confirm a login.
What exactly is lost
- Robux — the in-game currency bought with real money. It can be spent on skins, accessories, and paid game modes.
- The account — scammers change the password and linked details, and getting access back can be difficult.
- Personal data — if the child entered a name, age, or email anywhere, that can leak too.
How to protect your child
Here are a few simple rules to explain to kids:
- Never share your password — not even with friends. Real friends don't ask for it.
- Don't click links from chats and don't enter data on third-party sites.
- Turn on two-factor authentication in Roblox account settings.
- Don't install "cheats" or "Robux generators" — they're almost always theft.
If the account does get hacked, change the password immediately, unlink unknown devices, and contact Roblox support. The faster you act, the better the chance of recovering access.
Why this matters for parents
Robux are bought with real money — via cards, gift codes, or subscriptions. If the account is hijacked, you lose not only game progress but also the money spent. Scammers can also use the account to send spam and trick other children.
Keep an eye on what your child plays and talk to them about online safety. That's the best protection against schemes like this.
