    They were testing the dump of stolen credit card numbers. OP did a great service and was rewarded appropriately.

        How expensive is it really? I looked it up and apparently 800 robux costs like $3. It’s probably worth something to them because it isn’t a transaction to an unused account, it’s some random kid who is a real player, so less likely to get automatically flagged as fraudulent and law enforcement tipped off.

        Because they want to test if the card can be used for purchases of that size without blowing up in their face

      Roblox has been around for well north of a decade at this point, but for the majority of its time it was nothing like it is now.

    Yeah that happened. Oh no wait what really happened was you gave somebody your password and they stole your account and now you’re trying to make it feel like you weren’t scammed looking idiot. Children are so dumb.
