Infiltrating Roblox’s Fake Middleman Scam

Turns out it's also a Roblox pyramid scheme...

Roblox scammers have a special place in my heart. They are somehow really successful at scamming Roblox kids while also being the most low IQ individuals I have ever seen on Discord. And this time, it's no different.

Because these fake Roblox Middleman scammers follow the textbook scammer playbook: scam people, call other people poor, make less than minimum wage if you factor in the hours, and finally flex their wealth.

But there's a hidden trick up their sleeve, an ultra-rare tactic, a technique that matches exodia, it's a pyramid scheme as well. If you aren't scamming scammers, are you really the best scammer?

NTTS and the "Join servers for you" permission. Name a more iconic duo. Knew as soon as the member count on the scam servers was shown.

the day discord removes the "joins servers fo you" bot functionality might be the best day ever

Who is going to bet most of them "sellers/traders" arent above the required age when making a Discord account?

You have no idea how lovely it is seeing some of these scammer's drop their roblox names, and seeing them having save data in games I work on..

lol

This is also not how a middleman service is supposed to work.
The seller sends the item to the middleman AND the buyer sends their item to the middleman.

After 20 minutes of this video, FBI saw the video and invited NoTextToSpeech for an online investigator position

That's one reason I love KSF Scammer Files. It's a discord server with a database of reported scammers and scam servers that can be viewed by basically any member. You can lookup a user id or a server invite, and if the result includes prior reports, the proof is provided with the response. It's awesome, and scammers can't get around it by changing their (or the server) name, as it's linked to the user or server ID itself.

NTTS, as an ex-member of the roblox dark market, i greatly appreciate this video. Ive seen tons of people get scammed this way. I would’ve thought these scammers would not be dumb enough to name their channels so obvious. I also love how you tie previous scams, like the join servers for you scam, into this scam. From the surface level, i would have never known about these in depth little methods. I only knew how MMs are often scammers. 

Speaking of scammers…. There used to be an older cross trading server where the owner and mm owned an entire company cross trading. They started off legit, then they started scamming the people who actually paid them and trusted them. Eventually their server and company fell off.

I'm wondering how a game for kids, who are usually the main targets of scams, are being done on an app for at least teens

[Chalcedony]

As someone who used to be very active in the Project SEKAI community for account trading and has helped out as a middleman for friends, middlemen CAN be legit in certain communities. The gacha game trading community (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Project SEKAI, Bandori, D4DJ, IdentityV, ect.) is very tight knit to the point there are whole servers dedicated to reporting scammers and fake middle men. Especially when it comes to trading whales, large value account can be worth up to 200+ USD.

I knew of Roblox trading for a while but it's always been kind of a joke in the SEKAI community for being illegitimate, to the point where SEKAI players who wanted to trade stuff on Roblox would just ask the gacha community middle men to do it, and they usually would. I knew the Roblox trading community was bad but not this bad oml

I love it when bro said "i get 50 bucks per day doing this!!". Like bro, a single shift working as a waiter and you get twice that, probably with less work too lmao. Why the hell would anyone scam kids for 50 bucks a day lmaooo

"Join server for you" strike again

[Valklexx]

you're so entertaining, that my head grows double in size each time..

[albertspenceraretz]

I'm supposed to be getting ready for school, but right now.. I'm laying on my sofa, watching NTTS.

[Shanothian]

the amount of scams I have been able to avoid because of this channel is crazy

[logan_graal]

I actually had my account used for one of these scams once! I had a few people friend me because they thought I was a middleman, and when I joined the server to say, "Hey I own the account this guy is using, " the imposter was immediately banned. I didn't know this was a widespread thing, I thought he was just an idiot.

Thank you for covering middle man scamming. My friend got scammed like this and lost 100k+ in roblox limiteds.
