Scams That Target Families
Module 4 — Scams That Target Families
Scammers have discovered families: kids who still believe in free V-Bucks, parents who get WhatsApp messages from 'my new number', class chats with fake competitions. This module shows the most common scams — and how you spot them together.

"Mum, I won loads of Robux!"
For kids: You're in Roblox. Someone messages you: "Hey, I'm giving away 1000 Robux to the first 10! Just click here: robux-gratis.xyz". Your heart jumps. 1000 Robux! That's three new skins plus a pet!
You click.
For parents: Your 9-year-old comes running out of their room: "Mum! I won loads of Robux, I just need to enter my password!" Your stomach tightens.
In that exact moment two things get decided: whether your kid falls into the trap — and whether next time they come to you first or click in secret.
For both of you: Scammers love families. Why? Because kids still believe free gifts can be real. Because parents are busy. Because in every family, there's a device open somewhere. This module is your shared crash course: which scams target us? And how do we spot them from a mile off?
