Robux Scam
Teen slang, explained for parents.
What it means
Fake offers for free Roblox currency (Robux), where kids are targeted via DMs, YouTube comments, and fake websites promising free Robux in exchange for account credentials, and the scam is extremely common, with kids losing accounts and parents seeing linked cards charged.
How to bring it up with your kid
"Has anyone ever offered you free Robux? The rule is simple: if anyone offers something free and asks for your password or your info, it's always a scam. No exceptions." This needs to be an explicit conversation, not a passive one.
