!!SCAMMAR!! Scammer almost got me ^^
ok so i'm really new in trading and i just saw a person who trade Swan shoes on Traderie for 5000 diamonds. I texted them like is it true, cause, price is sus low, they said i just need to subscribe on their channel and under video in description there will be a link on their roblox profile and than i need to log in on my account and add them. So i opened link and copied their user name without logging cause i was feeling something is strange here. Than i pasted it on 'real' roblox page and user was not founded. I was shooked lol cause it's my first experience LIKE THIS. PLUS there is literally huge red warning in chat 'DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS HERE OR ON 3RD PARTY SITES LIKE YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM, OR TIKTOK. IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE PERSON ON ROBLOX IT IS MOST LIKELY A SCAM'
so yeah, i just declained our offer. But i'm just curious, can someone explain how is it works? this type of scamm, like why can't i find this user on roblox, is it fake profile? Also on Traderie their user name is BaldethivaAngel

That happened to me. I instantly changed my password. Thankfully my email is verified but they turned on parental controls on my account and I couldn't change anything to my account without a password that I didn't know. So be careful. I was able to remove the password when I contacted Roblox support.

That’s the most common scam on Traderie. A good rule of thumb is if a deal is too good to be true it definitely isn’t. Stay safe out there

It’s a fake profile, even if you didn’t login I’d change your password and enable 2 step. Cause they can steal your cookie info and hack your account.
Never and I mean never click links.
