Free 'Robux' and Fake Skins: How Scammers Deceive Children in Games

The Psychology of Deception: Why Are Kids the Perfect Target?

Scammers exploit three of a child's vulnerabilities: a strong desire for a rare skin, trust in "friendly" offers, and a lack of understanding of their account's value. A child doesn't realize their login is a key to real money.

Top 3 Scams You Need to Know About

1. Phishing: The "Free Robux Generator"

On TikTok or YouTube, a child sees a link to a site promising in-game currency. The site looks real but asks for a login and password to "claim the prize." As soon as the child enters it, scammers steal their account. This is the most common theft method.

2. Malware via Discord and Telegram

A child is invited to a "private server" for "giveaways." To participate, they're asked to download a "bot" or "anti-cheat" tool. It's actually a stealer virus that steals all saved passwords from the browser, card details, and access to all accounts.

3. Social Engineering: "Let's Trade"

A scammer builds trust in the game chat. They offer a "good" trade, but swap the item at the last second or ask to "try on" an expensive skin, then leave the game. To the child, it feels like being betrayed by a "friend."
