I need to report two false scripters scamming Roblox users, warn others not to trust them

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

Roblox isn’t doing anything about this so I need to warn others to avoid two Roblox users on Developer Donations or any similar place, because I have evidence they scammed me and are scamming others promising to fix scripts which do not work on Roblox Studio or promises to fix a game or fix a Roblox map, and then take the robux and run.

The two known scammers are: @PrimeOptimus741 and @vertudez_37 and Roblox needs to do something about this or people need to avoid these scammers. I hate seeing people being scammed and taken advantage of.

Here is the EVIDENCE (cause evidence is important and proves I am credible with bringing up this issue):

vertudez_37 (Shadow) scammed me on Roblox and didn’t do what he promised #roblox #robloxedit

I also have photos proof as well.

@PrimeOptimus741 hardly did anything as Roblox can investigate his modifications to my Roblox game map. I am wanting an investigation and already consent to this investigation. He at least created a button which doesn’t function when he said after I pay him he would make a button to skip the cutscenes in my obby game, and he said he would fix my cutscenes and added his script to the HD Admin folder. I checked it and it didn’t look right, it didn’t look like what I wanted him to do and he agreed to do this after I pay him. I asked him to use Fire Client Player method to prevent the cutscenes from playing for everybody in the server. He didn’t do that. He clearly did whatever he wanted which was a worthless script and worthless button. Then he wanted 10,000 robux from me on the promise of fixing my entire obby game.

@PrimeOptimus741 removed himself as my friend which is a betrayal since I gave him over 5,300 robux to do multiple jobs he claimed he would do. He unfriended me which proves he scammed me and took my robux, ran off with my robux and did nothing but added a tiny partial script which doesn’t fix the problem he said he would fix, I have his word, his word was lies. Roblox can investigate my claims and I tell the truth, I have the proof.

Here is the proof he unfriended me and Roblox can find in their security logs, he initiated unfriending me. Why would he unfriend me after I paid for him to fix a scripting problem I don’t know how to fix without help. I needed his help and he betrayed me and other Roblox users.

I have evidence he has his own obby game, it is in his profile. So he is running a competition to my obby game so he was taking my robux on false promises and he ran his own obby so he was in conflict of interest when he wanted me to give him all the robux I had.

@PrimeOptimus741 is clearly a scammer and Roblox isn’t fixing this wrong, isn’t reversing the transactions. I sent them real evidence, I have the whole videos, I have the screenshots, the evidence. They should do something about these scammers, It isn’t just me they are doing this to everybody.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

These two Roblox users are scamming people on the false promise of scripting this or that. This clearly violates the Roblox rules but they are allowed to scam people and this ain’t right. I get in trouble over stupid things which they have to reverse those phony rule violations but they don’t do anything about real scammers where evidence proves they scammed. So I have to warn everybody here not to fall for these scammers I caught.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I have send the evidence to the Roblox Support staff and nothing is being done about it so I need to warn people here to prevent the scammers from continuing to take advantage of kids/minors and scamming people out of their robux on the promise of a scripting job.

I am not posting this for any wrong reasons. I don’t want other people to be scammed like this and Roblox doesn’t do anything to fix this.

So I need to help people, I want them to not be scammed. I want to make sure I have the evidence proving what I say, and make sure to warn others. Please do not censor this post because I have real evidence, I lost all my robux, I LOST ALL MY ROBUX to these scammers. They lied to me, they lied to my friends, they lied to other people and collected robux from these gullible people. That does violate Roblox rules and they are hurting us, ruining our safe and fun experiences on Roblox, making us afraid to ask for somebody to help, a scripter.

I don’t speak good English and I didn’t translate exactly what you said but I think I understand what you said
I think you should educate yourself a bit about Roblox Studio. I never bring anyone to my projects. I only brought one person for one project and I was sure that he would need my help later and he wouldn’t scam me
Your problem is that you think people are good but really as someone who is in a country where there is less than 10 dollars per month, I am really sad that these people steal your money
It doesn’t matter if you hire me or not but I ask you to use free models instead of hiring these people even if possible

The only way you don’t get scammed is to have a model made in another project and sent to you, then you add it to your game yourself
and pay them Robux for what they do.

I have a question, where did you make the deal? Like did you make it through roblox chat? Discord? Or something else?


Also this is advice to anyone who decides to hire, or be hired by people. Sign a contract. As long as you write a good on you basically cant be scammed without them facing legal action. In the case you’re underage, make as big of a document about all information, deals, etc regarding the commision/whatever.

Ofc depending on the question I asked above, roblox may or may not be able to help you.


Along with that, dont pay until the work is completed, depending on the type of commision ofc, if they require you to pay some upfront thats fine, but dont except if they want the full payment right away, youre just asking to be scammed!


I also dont think roblox will do much about it, as this isnt exactly proof that they didnt do what they said they would, as we are never shown exactly what they should do, and never shown if they actually do anything, as you could have just put this text here, had unfriended him, and then called him a liar. I do believe you though, but sadly, roblox needs way more proof in order to ban someone for scamming.

So for future reference, please follow the above, and look for other tips before hiring, as they can be very useful, I wish you the best of luck nonetheless.

I don’t think Roblox can do anything about it. It would be completely out of their scope because to them, you just “bought” a gamepass.

It’s sketchy enough that you’ve met someone who’d “work” for you with no backgrounds or any past works shown; that you met on the game “Developer Donations” :sob:

If you are serious about hiring someone to make you a roblox map in exchange for robux, you can try the Roblox Talent Hub, or discord servers like RoDev.

“A normal Roblox developer” :-1:t2::neutral_face: nah

By the way, If Roblox staff hasn’t responded, there are a few things you can try:

  • Follow up: If it’s been a while, send another report or contact Roblox Support again.

  • Community awareness: Share the issue in developer forums or social media to warn others, like you did here, you could do it also in a lot of different places

  • Alternative reporting: If there’s strong evidence, consider reaching out to Roblox’s Trust & Safety team through different channels.

Unfortunately, response times can vary, but persistence might help get their attention.

Do you actually need to “do legal actions” or “file a lawsuit”?

Or is it okay to just gather the evidence and sending it to roblox?

I am asking because I’ve seen this advice a lot, but no one mentioned what happens when the other party still breach the contract.

This shouldn’t be in Scripting Support , this feels like something that should be put in Platform Usage Support (please correct me if im wrong)

That’s too bad. At least you have most of this recorded. I’d be happy to look over your games for free.

Ive never had the experience personally, so not exactly sure if roblox would actually do anything about it. (Knowing roblox, probably not).

Also if you did want to file a lawsuit you can probably just get a bunch of money out of it, in the case you just send it to roblox they probably just get banned and you get your money back :D


You might not even need to take legal actions, as Im sure just about all scammers will run away if you tell them you need to sign a contract. But yeah, just my thoughts Im not a lawyer so take this all with a grain of salt.
