Scamming
SKAM-ing
Definition

Note for Parents
Scams are rampant in trading games. The rule is simple: if someone is offering something that seems too good to be true, it always is.

Safety Context for Parents
Roblox has millions of players and no reliable way to verify who anyone really is. Most interactions are harmless — but some adults do attempt to befriend children on the platform. Understanding terms like "Scamming" helps you follow your child's conversations and notice when something seems off. The most effective protection isn't banning the game — it's keeping communication open. Ask your child who they're playing with, how they met, and whether they've been asked anything that made them uncomfortable. Roblox's parental controls (under Settings → Privacy) let you restrict who can contact your child and what chat filters are applied.
