Bypassed Chat Scam Link Detection

[MagicLuau (self)]

I recently noted some bypass by not putting any “dot” in they scam, trying to target and scam peoples.

Might suit the following closed bug report:

System Chat Exploiters

Recently a lot of our players have been noticing these bots join and send custom chat messages to join their gambling Robux website. This is a big issue because a few of our players have even fell for this scam and resulted in losing their account. I would hate for our game to turn into a botting paradise where players can fall for scams. People also believe that BLOXDROP is sponsoring us and are more likely to fall for it. I’m posting announcements on our discord server to warn our play…

This is actively a MASSIVE, widespread issue.

Every single server of any big game I join, a bot joins (and quickly leaves) advertising Bloxdrop, an illegal blackmarket Robux gambling website.

The accounts immediately leave before they can be reported in-game. The scale is massive. There are certainly many thousands of kids who have signed up on this website as a result.

They are also imitating system messages to deceive players who don’t know better into thinking the games that they’re playing are affiliated with this Bloxdrop website.

They actively subvert basic chat filter efforts by slightly changing their message, eg “BLOXDROPE”, “BLOXSDROP” etc.

Something needs to be done to stop this quickly.

Still an ongoing issue. Happened in the first server I joined, within 1 minute of joining.

Each bot account joins many different games, as you can see here:

This specific bot account (ShiningCyclone8447) has 8 pages of default badges that are issued on join, all from high-CCU games.

Bloxdrop, or its affiliates, are purchasing bot Roblox account cookies in bulk from the blackmarket, and using them to run this spam script.

Edit:

Within 30 seconds of posting this reply, 2 more bot messages were posted in my server (same server as first screenshot) - this is still actively a WIDESPREAD issue as of today.

i noticed that these bots’ DisplayName always (or at least most of the time) start with 2 words with the initial uppercased, followed by 3 or more digits, i made a script that looks for this when the player joins:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
	if p.DisplayName:match("^[A-Z][a-z]+[A-Z][a-z]+%d%d%d+$") ~= nil then -- match for "WordWord123+"
		-- player is most likely a bot, take action here
	end
end)
