Hello, welcome to time's advice.

Today we are talking about tips on how to avoid being scamed

I will be providing various situations of scam attempts

  • 1. If you are being scammed on discord, and they impersonating someone, find the real accounts Discord ID and compare them. If they say  "It's my alt" ask for proof
  • 2. Use logic, if you feel uncomfortable and shaky don't trust the person.

HELP I GOT SCAMMED

 

Do not panic! Gather all the evidence you possibly can and immediately warn others of who scammed you. You can always come to me and I will help you make a very detailed Community Warning. You may not be able to get back your items/money but at least you can prevent the POS from doing it to other people. 


Phishing

 

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, posing as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, discord message, or text message. In this case, we'll use a black market roblox website. If someone sends you a message saying “Woah look at all these cheap items on rbx.pIace” and is trying to convince you to buy that super cheap $100 valk, it's most likely a scam. In order to avoid this type of attack, simply type in the URL into your browser without copying and pasting it. Phishing attacks are a lot more common in ads that say “Click me for free robux!” and stuff like that. There is literally no possible way for you to hack your robux, don't even try. Also, be very careful clicking on random links as you can easily get cookie logged. Don't trust random people, input URLS into your own browser, or use google to look up whatever website they are talking about. Don't click random links! If you do, use a different browser with incognito or private browsing tured on!
