How to avoid Roblox trading scams
Trading Roblox items can be risky — most scams happen during stranger-to-stranger trades or through password phishing. This guide covers the scams to watch for and the safest way to get the items you want.
The golden rule: never share your password
No legitimate site, seller, "middleman", or "Roblox staff" will ever need your Roblox password, login link, or 2-step verification code. Anyone who asks is trying to steal your account. buyer.gg never asks for your password — we deliver items to your account, we never log in as you.
Common Roblox trading scams
1. The last-second swap
A scammer puts up the right item, then swaps it for a cheaper one just before you accept. Always re-check every item in the trade window right before confirming.
2. "Add the rest after"
They promise to send the remaining items "after you go first." Once you send, they vanish. Never trust an out-of-order or off-platform promise.
3. Fake middlemen
A "trusted middleman" offers to hold both sides of a deal — then runs off with the goods. Most middleman reputations are faked. Avoid middleman trades entirely.
4. Phishing links & fake sites
Links promising "free Robux", "free items", or a login to "claim" a trade are designed to steal your account. Don't log in anywhere except the official Roblox site/app.
5. Off-platform & "cheaper if you pay me directly"
Deals that move to DMs and ask for gift cards or direct crypto with no protection are almost always scams.
The safest way to get items
Buy from a marketplace that delivers items to you directly instead of relying on a stranger trade. That's how buyer.gg works:
- You pay through a secure checkout — no sending items "first" to a stranger.
- Verified staff deliver your item in-game, usually within minutes — no anonymous trader on the other side.
- We never ask for your password.
- You only ever pay for the exact item you choose — the price you see is the price you pay.
- If anything goes wrong, you're covered by our Refund Policy — just contact support@buyer.gg first.
FAQ

Fake or rushed trades — a scammer puts up the wrong item, swaps it at the last second, or promises to "add the rest after" and never does. Password phishing (anyone asking for your Roblox password or login) is the most dangerous.
Should I ever give someone my Roblox password?
No. Never share your password, login link, or 2-step codes with anyone — no legitimate seller, site, or "middleman" needs them. buyer.gg delivers items to your account and never asks for your password.
Is there a safe way to buy Roblox items?
Yes. Use a marketplace that delivers items to you directly rather than relying on a stranger trade. On buyer.gg, verified staff deliver your item in-game after a secure checkout, so there is no stranger-trade scam risk.
