'Free Robux' generators that steal accounts
Sites promising free Robux phish a child's login or bury them in endless 'verification' surveys.
How it works
- A site or video promises free Robux if the child 'verifies' by entering their Roblox login.
- The login is captured and the account — along with any purchases — is stolen and resold.
- Variants trap kids in never-ending 'human verification' surveys that earn the scammer ad money.
Warning signs to watch for
- Search or watch history for 'free robux'.
- Being logged out unexpectedly, or missing Robux and items.
- Password-change emails the child didn't request.
What you can do
- Turn on Roblox 2-Step Verification.
- Teach the rule: no website or video can give free Robux — only Roblox sells it.
- Use a parent-controlled email on the account and never reuse passwords.
