So, I joined Super Bomb Survival for the first time in a few months to check out the recent updates, and a dude named “bieolz” randomly starts private chatting me asking if my account was compromised. Apparently a user named Alarix informed him that my account and an account called DrHybrid were compromised because of a sudden value increase. Apparently the user DrHybrid was in fact compromised and his account was deleted.

I add him on discord and he asks me to show him proof that I own the email associated with the account. I do so by sending a Forgot Password email to my email while screen sharing, but he insists the only way to know if its a real email is if I change my password and show that I receive an email. Having been RAT’d before, I knew this wasn’t a very good sign. I tell him that since my discord is partnered and all of my social medias are linked with it, AND that I streamed development of my game for 4 hours earlier today, that this should be enough proof. I ended the call and basically told him to fuck off.

After a discussion I gave in and changed my password. Then all of sudden I get emails that my 2 Step has been deactivated. I log back into my account, and all of my Robux and all of my limiteds of any value are gone.

At this point I thought “wow, he got me good”, but then he goes on to explain that an account used fake robux purchased with an invalid credit card to make mass purchases on my game, Arcane Adventures, and that all of my limiteds and robux were removed while my account gets rolled back. He tells me to send an email to info@roblox.com and also forward it to kaylacordova@hotmail.com with this Title/Subject:

Account Rollback
My account, VetexGames, received a mass purchase on compromised account. Please issue a rollback of the LIMITEDS & ROBUX which were lost from this case. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Vetex

At this point I start thinking “this might actually not be a scam”, but I also notice that membership of my group called “Vetex” was transfered to a user named PostVergil (https://www.roblox.com/users/494958518/profile). I click on his name and I notice he also has my limiteds. After thinking this over a bit, I notice that my group transfered ownership again from PostVergil to a user named fgd4433 (https://www.roblox.com/users/482846078/profile), and most of my limiteds were transfered to that account as well. Also upon trying to sign out of all other sessions, I notice that a PIN was placed on my account. bieolz tells me that this was applied so that:

ROBLOX doesn’t need to continue bypassing 2 Step when they are issuing the rollback. Once everything has been rollbacked, account pin will be removed allowing you to turn 2 Step back on. But right now, mods are on the case so even if you are compromised you’ll be fine.

Is this a thing that can actually happen when “fake robux” is used to make a large purchase on your game, or is this the most well-thought-out scam of all time?
