Keep Your Password Safe
It’s super important that your password is a secret. It’s like the keys to your house, or in this case the keys to all your special ROBLOX stuff.
What is a password scam?
A password scam is when someone tries to get your password in a sneaky way. Usually try to be your friend and offer you help or to buy you Builder’s Club or Robux. Or maybe they threaten or bully you. People can also change your password if you stay logged in at your computer when you are not there.
The person who gets your password may not be nice! They might…
- Spend your Tix and Robux
- Delete your hats
- Steal your places
- Get you in trouble
- Change your password
A password scammer is not a scary hacker. It doesn’t take any computer skills to do this crime. Most scammers look just like the other users so it’s best to be careful and not tell anyone your password, no matter what.
How do they get away with it? They don’t. All password scammers on ROBLOX will get banned and deleted. We take this very seriously.
What can you do?
- If you see someone asking for passwords in a game chat, report it.
- If you get mails like the one above where someone asks for your password report them right away.
- Log out of ROBLOX when you are not playing.
- Don’t share your account with anyone.
- Change your password to something complicated.
Your password should not be one of the following things… your first name, last name, username, birthday, zip code, sisters name, brothers name, or just asdfg or 123456.
It should be more like one of the following things…
K%t3ispr3tty
1337Haxx0rz
gr33n!(*^
Then you memorize the password. If you need to write it down, give the paper to your parent to keep safe. Never give out your password, even to someone who is offering to help or buy you Builder’s Club!

Admins won’t ever ask you for your password. We’ve got special powers and won’t ever need your password for any reason.
Comment by Telamon — April 16, 2008 @ 8:38 pm
That Password Scammer Really Sticks Out. Didn’t you say they look like Everyone Else?

this may be off topic but, an earthquake hit my house last night! Things aren’t too bad, it was a 5.2 on the ritcher scale and it’s a good thing I have a bunk bed, even though my brother’s at college and I rarely have anyone over, but it sure helped there.
Comment by Chriz13 — April 18, 2008 @ 12:11 pm
Good idea! This will teach those good for nothing Password Scammers WHAT FOR! Or you can trick them! Example: of they ask you for your password make up a fake one like: DRCHEESE38 or L33Tstuff!

Wait…the sender…of the PM…HE’S ALSO THE GUY WHO WROTE THIS! He’s going to get ideas of our passwords… And this guy is an ADMIN! Also, he posted a picture of somebody! Actually, I think that kid is inocent even though he looks 500% guilty… Now opening Project A.V.R.E.P.S. (Avoid ReeseMcBLox, Evil Password Stealer)

the proper term for someone who hacks into games is a cracker. The real hackers are the ones that built the internet. Dont call them hackers. call the crackers. the name also does justice in insultation, would you like to be a cracker or a hacker? hacker? thought so.
