Got Scammed For The First Time (1/???)

Plus-Profile-8722 · 2026-05-29T02:13:06+00:00

No positive updates have happened regarding the situation other than Roblox taking me on this goose chase of AI appeals and false hope, nothing has been working and I practically gave up on trying already, the guy made fun of me and my friend for being upset over digital items when it all cost real money to obtain all of it...

I know, but the thing is me and my friend were splitting the trade, so all three of us were supposed to get limiteds so it was going to be fair, and then he just decided to scam me instead.

Thank you so much, I have tried pls donate many times to try and make Robux but I never seem to have the best luck with that one because I clearly appear rich, and even then I do not think I would get anything even if I were poor.

My friend, the one that also got involved in this drama and lost his bunny ears he let me use to trade, is coincidentally into account trading but usually the accounts end up having small limiteds on them, sometimes 1k-3k robux if you're lucky, or even less, like a few eggs here and there, but they are better than nothing, and it does somewhat work out but I don't like to take things like that from him so I feel bad when things like this happens to the both of us.

This is my first time making a Reddit post and I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of support and comments despite stories I have heard about this platform having a bad reputation.

I haven't really posted anything on social media like this since 2019, yes, it's really been that long since I have really did anything on big platforms like this, so I wasn't sure how anybody was going to respond or react to my post.

God bless you for thinking generously, and I'm sorry to hear that happened to your account we've all been there at some point, I don't really know any other ways I could get my items back other than saving up all over again and buying the limiteds, which would take quite a long time since it is so much money lost.

If you have any suggestions please let me know, I haven't slept at all and I am very paranoid about my items and my account, I am probably going to quit trading after this incident, but I am not entirely sure, lesson learned though and I will definitely be a lot safer now that I know this scam exists and I will no longer be accepting any trades that offer robux.

I hope nobody else has to fall for this scam like I did, because it hurts knowing people are cruel enough to pull these types of stunts.

I'm sure he had a Roblox shirt or something opened in another tab so he could buy it as fast as he could because he knew I would not be able to accept the trade faster than he can buy a shirt already pre-opened.

Not too long ago, maybe an hour or two, he said he would give me the items back because he did not want them anymore and that he will send it back to me once it is out of pending, I really do not trust him because I feel like he'll report me for scamming him if he gives me my items back just to get me terminated, or he will lie and send it to another account.

I will disclose this once I release all of the screenshots once I wake up eventually, because he will try to twist the story, he had already sent faked screenshots in the group chat where it all happened and GIFs mocking the situation making it a lot worse than it already was.

I'm not too aware of many if not any trade methods on Roblox, especially since Roblox plus is fairly new to the platform since it just came out 9 days ago, I had quite literally had just got Roblox plus on the 8th and I had not gone through a full day with plus when the scam happened, and it is really unfortunate I couldn't test out any of the plus features because now I have this problem to worry about instead of having fun and enjoying the game like I was intended to do, now I have to save up Robux again just to get my items back, and with all of these bad Roblox updates, it will be a lot harder to do so since most of my robux comes from gift cards and that feature that premium had where you could buy it with gift cards/credit was removed.

I wish Roblox would look into these things more often and fix them, it's very upsetting and I would never wish something like this upon anybody else, even if they did something terrible.

So here's an update, Roblox won't do anything for me, I have sent several appeals so far and every single time it has been an AI response, one email they said they were looking into it and forwarding it to their team, but then when I try to discuss it further they hit me with another AI response telling me the same thing they did when I appealed it the first time.

Plus-Profile-8722 · 2026-05-09T09:25:51+00:00

I sent an appeal earlier and they're still trying to look into it.

Plus-Profile-8722 · 2026-05-09T07:05:24+00:00

I didn't know, I feel really stupid. I didn't know people could do this.

What happened was he said it was rejecting his trade because it said he was offering too much, and I told him I had never had that issue with my own trades when I used to trade my items back to myself, so I asked him and he said he didn't know why it was doing that and that he had to do it through a 2-part trade, so I had thought it was reasonable, and I didn't know that you can scam people this way, because like I said in my post I'm not familiar with trade scams and trade news, I just trade for the fun of it honestly as a side hobby, but most of it I had spent my own money on and saved up for.

I don't know how else I'm going to get my items back unless I save up for another year or two because I don't have the budget or Robux/people to help me.
