My kid got scammed on Roblox and I'm FURIOUS
So my 9yo traded away all his limited items in Roblox because some older kid promised him 'rare items back later.' Spoiler alert: they never came back. He lost about $40 worth of stuff (which I had stupidly bought him). Now I'm trying to explain virtual property and trust, but I'm also kicking myself for not explaining how this stuff works before letting him trade. The company won't do anything obviously. I'm mostly venting but also... how do you guys handle the Robux situation? Do you buy it, do your kids earn it somehow, or have you just said no?
This is so brutal and also unfortunately common. Roblox marketplace is a nightmare for predatory behavior. The older kids specifically target the 9yo crowd because they know they don't understand value.
Wait you can actually get trades reversed on Roblox? I'm gonna try this for my kid before I lose it about the $40
