Step-by-Step Guide: How to Spot Phishing Links in 2025
The "Brainrot" Scam Phenomenon
In late 2024 and 2025, a new wave of scams hit the Roblox community. Dubbed "Brainrot" scams due to their association with brainrot meme content (like Skibidi Toilet or Rizz games), these phishing campaigns target younger players.
How it works
1. The Lure: A scammer posts a link on TikTok or Discord claiming to be a "Private Server" for a popular game, often promising free admin or rare items.
2. The Fake Login: The link leads to a site that looks exactly like the Roblox login page. It might be hosted on a domain like roblox-secure-server.com or roblox.game-launch.xyz.
3. The Theft: When you enter your username and password, the site records it. Some sophisticated versions even intercept the 2FA code or steal your browser's security cookie directly.
3 Red Flags You Must Know
1. The URL doesn't end in .roblox.com
Official Roblox links ALWAYS end in .roblox.com. Check the address bar carefully.

2. "Login to Join"
If you are already logged into Roblox in your browser, a real private server link will never ask you to login again. If a page asks for your password just to join a game, it is 100% a scam.
3. "Copy this Code"
Some scams ask you to drag a bookmark to your bookmarks bar or paste a Javascript code into your browser console. This is called "Cookie Logging". NEVER paste code into your browser console that you don't understand.
