Listen up. Of all the "creative minds" working at ROBLOX, all you've been doing is adding Gear and Hats. What we really need is a PURCHASE HISTORY - My friend lost 10k ROBUX to a scammer. We could see what he purchased, from who, and for how much. We have an option to approve or disapprove of the purchase, and if we decline, the scammer will lose all the money they earned from the t-shirt. Not only will this allow us to prevent the threat of scams, but we can get refunds when we buy something, such as a VIP shirt, and you find that the door doesn't work (or the commands/whatever). For those "get-drawn" scams, we can take our money back, and we should be able to file scam reports, which, if enough reports are filed by users who bought the t-shirt, the ban can reach up to a week.

Scammers? What about spammers? If they know that nothing is going to happen and they are going to get banned then why do they do it?

Traindood - They DO get banned. It's just that we don't have enough people to REPORT them.

Ik they get banned, but after they do, more people spam, then they get banned, and then even more spam. Its endless. They just wont get it. They just wont stop no matter what.

We're sorry your friend got scammed. Heck, I'm sorry if YOU get scammed. But let's face it, being "Scammed" is like being "Tricked". Roblox isn't at fault. The player who got scammed was at fault, and the only thing they can do is report the scammer. If you have freinds with valuable things or high amounts of money, verse them in common scams and how to spot scams in general. The big one is not to give something to someone you don't know. And by don't know I mean anyone that you don't know IRL.

First off, Bcool - He *is* my friend IRL. And you have barely anything to support your position there. If you have avoided a scam before, good for you. If this were to be released, then all scammers would go crawl back into their shells, would they not? Surely, you have bought something before (shirt, t-shirt, etc.) that didn't work the way you wanted it to. Heck, you paid quite a bit for that. Doesn't that make you want your money back? That is why I feel this is necessary, and many others agree with me.

You wanna know what I think? You are PLAIN STUPID if you are scammed. Especially for a large sum of money. It's not ROBLOX's fault, it's yours. Why should Roblox give you back your money if you were stupid enough to be the one scammed? There will NEVER be refunds. Ever. Ever ever ever. Ever. Point made? Yes.

Here is a problem. Example: You get scammed for 10k... The Scammer buys a hat with all the money he just made You cancel the purchase, you get your money back... Now, what happens? Does he keep the hat?

This is a really old thread but I just saw it again and spotted another fault that I felt like pointing out for no real reason. Yes this might stop a couple scammers but also pave a way for a whole new group of scammers. Lets say someone buys a "Get-Drawn" shirt and then that person gets drawn then that person could go up and cancel the transaction so he gets a picture free of charge. You could also buy VIP, play the game for a little bit then refund the VIP, wouldn't be very profitable for the game owners.
