Deceptive UGC still scamming players

This post is an duplicate/update, 2 months after the original post – See here.

Whilst Roblox has locked groups which had been the largest offenders attempting to defraud players of Robux, they’ve left the largest offender up to continue their antics; “bypassed world”.

This group shamelessly attempts to sell fake, cheaper versions of items which do nothing but appear as an expensive thumbnail in your inventory.




Fake bundles, heads, animation packages, layered clothing “bypasses”

I seriously cannot believe that Roblox would close all these other groups and wouldn’t consider closing this one, they scrape the bottom of the barrel to try and take Robux from innocent players that aren’t wise enough to tell apart hats from heads or bundles.

Moving on from this grand depiction of fraud, there are smaller, independent creators attempting to get away with the same thing;
I’ll include a list below of the Top 15 best-selling Korblox items which aren’t addons, serving zero purpose besides trying to take robux from gullible players.

Items

These items claim to give you the Korblox leg by wearing them, yet do absolutely nothing. They are either an accessory that hides itself in your torso, or a layered clothing pants item that serves no purpose without owning the original Korblox, yet they claim they “work” as a replacement.

Expected behavior

Moderation needs to be enforced. Groups like bypassed world show how bloated these operations become once they are able to thrive without any consequences. At the very least, I would wish for the groups and items I’ve reported to be removed from the platform. Users that purchase these items and contact support to be reimbursed are turned away without any options.

In the future, I would hope that moderators are able to recognize items that are attempting to mistake players for real versions of bundles, the same of which is currently used for copies of limited items.

I love how they said they addressed the issue but deleted no more than 5 items from the group. Like, seriously?

This is also an issue with free ugc limiteds, every day there are 1 stock items being uploaded that look like this and scamming players to farm visits and premium payouts, they keep coming back under new groups and games
Here are some examples: item 1, item 2, item 3
these are just a few that are uploaded out of the 500 or so, these games should be deleted and the pending premium payouts deleted

honestly if they never wanted this in the first place they should’ve been more strict with half head uploads

Update: This problem has reached such levels of insanity that items are being favorite botted in an attempt to appear as a legitimate solution to obtaining the Korblox Deathspeaker left leg :sob: please Roblox DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE

they always have the “ONLY WORKS IN GAME NOT ON PROFILE” to try and trick kids

these people have probably made so much robux with this that they can afford the actual korblox and headless

this one is a recolor of the default korblox though, the rest you linked above are fake though
a lot of people make recolors of the korblox for avatars and stuff and they usually specify when they do saying add-on or recolor or such

True – It’s a slippery slope when it comes to these things, though atleast this item has some function. Alot of the items I’ve linked in my original post claim to have some use when they do absolutely nothing but hide a png in your neck/head.
