Top 10 Scams to Avoid in Roblox Islands 

Honestly this would've help alot before because of the fact I got scammed out of 2 rare Crystal's back then but this still helps alot thanks

Izzys moral of the story: I’m crying

I wish i saw this before i got scammed. The guy did help me for sometime then suddenly he started to take everything away to quickly for me to react and he left the game. Luckily people in the chat saw him saying stuff and when i said no and started crying in chat they all knew that i got scammed so they came to my aid. I didn't get all of it back but at least they helped me.

Remember to look through shops before you buy. I’ve seen people put high demand items by the entrance with high prices to get people to impulse buy, only to have the same item listed for less somewhere else in the shop.

3:00 good thing these kind of scams have been stopped with the new trading mechanic

Hi, I also typed this on izzy's vid, I have a scam I found out! I'm always cautious around suspicious scammers, but the other day, someone came to my island, holding a diamond portal and kept clicking to place it, little did I know, they were just trying to open/close an iron door but it looked like they were trying to place, I have them supervised build for a few seconds and that's when I realised they were clicking on the door, and not trying to place that item, they could've quickly resetted and gone to my shop to steal if i hadn't of taken their perms away soon after realising it was a scam... Ty if u read, nice vid btw!

There was this one time someone asked for build permission on my island, and I said yes. She was actually really helpful and didn't scam me, even when I went AFK. But then someone else scammed me by asking me. Now I have a feeling they were working together.

Getting an Aquamarine Sword: POG Realising that it only does 20 DMG: why am I here, just to suffer

I actually did the drop trade once, but I was soooo lucky that the other person’s intention was not to scam! Rest assured there are more good people in the world then you think my friend :)

Dv: scams Izzy: I’m crying Dv:laughing

thank you DV! you are really helping out new players! and i watched this when i first started 2 years ago. thank you so much for helping new players like when i was!

I remember doing the building permissions trade and the scammers took everything. When I made a new save slot it was better than the older one but I wish that the owner of islands could make a trading center which reveals all your trades or building permissions you gave to them and you can report the scammers. That could be cool! But now I can know all different types of scam trades :)

ME : gets scammed DV 2 DAYS LATER : be sure to don't trust people ME : oh yes important stuff

As far as I can see, the scams involving vending machines could be fixed by the devs, by not allowing changes while customers have the UI open...

A lot of these scams I didn’t even know about and I’m so happy this was very helpful and important thanks!

tbh I feel like when mods and devs say that they cannot help you when you get scammed, it make me view as an excuse to either Laziness or they didn’t want inflation to happen.

15:40 *"everybody gangsta till DV decided to buy dominus so people cannot copy his avatar"*

Izzys first word was I’m crying

*Chuckles* “She’s gonna get scammed she’s gonna get scammed!” DV lets out his dark side

I already knew all these scams but Izzy’s acting was ON POINT lmao

Suggestion: Every object placed on island should be traced to owner name. In another word, if the scammer pickaxed the item, it will automatically goes back to the owner inventory. (even coins in vending and stuff).

5:50 Why does DV's island look like a boat tho

OMG TYSM FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO CAUSE LAST FEW DAYS AGO SOMEONE CALL YOGO STEAL 2 OF MY SMELTER and im sad and also steal my clean oil crop thing

What’s good about this vid is also what’s bad about it, it’s teaching people how to avoid scams, but also how scammers should scam differently. Good vid tho keep up the good work! 👍

Dv I have got scammed legit like 20 times in 1 month now after I watch this I will never get scammed thx so much

For the mega profit scam, I’ve seen so many published island shops that do that. So thanks DV for including this on your video for lots of significant others to see 👍

Honestly thank you so much! i know i commented late, but thank you! this really helped, although i did know some but thank you again! keep the good work up king!

This made my day 😊 Thanks for making me laugh DV & Izzy

Me literally only plays on private servers: Why am I still here… just to “waste my time”

10:53 The TF2 trading system in a nutshell.

Dv:hi do u wana trade? Izzy:sure Dv:dirt for wood? Izzy:ok *izzy drops grass* *dv takes the grass and leaves* Izzy:OMG IM CRYING I JUST LOST THE RAREST ITEM

Thank you so much for telling me this i was a newbie and this is really helpfull! Now i can play islands without getting scammed even tho i still don't understand how the game works-

“All sales are final” nooo awww Izzy ;-; 💕

This is so helpful I try to teach people don’t give a person build on your island unless you fully trust them but they don’t listen I hope the people that got scammed watch this

You are the real good guy that help us every time showing us every updates, tutorials about a lot of stuff, and much more. Thanks for your work.

Legend says Izzy is still crying

One time, I wanted to trade a gilded hammer for a diamond pick, and I told him to walk away, then we’d both drop, and then walk over. He dropped a berry, but I picked up the hammer in time.

I just got scammed came on to RU-vid to cheer me up find this and learn that if I had watched this I wouldn’t have. RIP

Brush that same thing happend to me somebody came and said I like to help new players then I said I don’t need much help but with expanding yes then he told me to go to my house and then I went there but got a bit curios and i got out and my 2 steel mills where gone and it took me 3 weeks to get them ;( then it made me want to grind and in 5 hours I got 3 steel mills and 1 smelter and made my auto farm :D I learned a lot of factory with your vids keep up the good work 👍

I actually got scammed by the "nice guy act" one. They gave me tons and tons of totems (not kidding, they gave me like 50 totems each) and I gave him build but when I wasn't looking, he took everything I had. Looted my chests, destroyed my house, took my trees. Everything. But a year after that, I joined back into Skyblock/Islands and this actually nice person gave me lots of stuff to rebuild my island. We became friends and he stops by once in a while just to see how I'm doing. He doesn't ask for build, he doesn't ask for things, he's just a good person. I'm proud to say that now I'm doing really good at the game and I'm helping people. So, it has come full circle.

I just started 2 days ago a friend of mine gave me a industrial smelter and a guy who was acting like a noob who was offering to help took out a diamond pickaxe and took my smelter but good thing I have a good friend he said he’s willing to help me out. If they go anywhere near your valueable items to trade then asks for perms to build don’t let them they’ll steal your items

Imagine if they "scamed" each other and Izzy said "I'm cry because of my CRYiron"

I recently started playing Islands, and i've been giving people build permisson to help me mine stuff, but thank God they didn't mine the other stuff. Thank you for telling me, i would of kept doing that.

Another scam I’ve only seen once is where on someone’s like store island there will be two vendings with a item you probably wouldn’t have in one vending that you buy for like, a million coins. And the other would say sell that item for 100m coins so you think it’s legit and you buy the thing for a million and try to sell but there’s no money in it. Luckily I didn’t fall for it.

This video should help a lot of people!

There’s a new “mansion scam”. The only way that I know how to prevent it is turn off build perms if you don’t see the guy that was going to build a mansion for you.

WHEN HE WAS DOING THE CHEST TRADES I FELT SO NOSTALGIC FOR SOME REASON- probably because i remember playing the game when it was first released

Dv it would be really nice if u could make a video about prices. Of what things are because I’m sure that half of the things I see in shops are like 10x the price so please make a vid about that it would be really nice

Whoever is getting scammed, trust no one.

Jeez dv have some chivalry the girl was crying there

Bro you help me a lot after I watch this video somebody tried to do one of the scam on me and I didn’t fall for it thank you 🙏

the first two happened to me and my cousin, the first happened during a harvest event, when someonewanted to "give" me a cletus statue for a golden sickle, he ran away with it. It made me so mad. the second one happened when me and my cousin decided to invite all of our online roblox friends, and let them look around. One of the people took most of my cousins valuables.

The thing that's awful with scammers is that they take advantage of those people with infinite trust.

My cutlass got scammed and i was so sad☹️😢 and this Will rlly help me thx DV

There is a scam that u didnt showed up, like u invite ur victim to ur island u put a wall and u respect the distance , and when the victim drop, u kick him. also if u put glasses u can pick items trough it its how i got scammed my diamond great sword :c

yeah i got scammed once for my copper press and my steel plate and smelter but i got it back. there was this guy that said he was gonna help me but he only put conyevors grass and coal totems then he said: "i will be back" and took the copper press, steel plate, and smelter. one of my friends helped me. He helped me with a drill for copper, he made a tomato farm for me, and idk but i think he made me a steel farm. i am really happy he did that. also the helping thing was when i was new. a random person also gave me a tier 3 workbench.

Thanks DV this is going to help a lots of new players

DV: Makes this video Scammers: Well, no I can’t be rich

Wow I can’t believe it’s been a year since this video was uploaded. I remember watching this video with my friend when I first got into islands. I got scammed a bunch, she got scammed a bunch and eventually she scammed other people a bunch. I’m so happy they changed the game so that this stuff won’t happen, now the only scam is buying low and selling high in shops

Thxs. So fun to watch. Great job all. Thxs

Always remember: drop trading is a scam when the trader is asking that you should drop your item first.Knowing that they trully are, just make sure you ask them first.If he/she declines, for sure its a scam

I recently got scammed for 400K in-game bucks with that 1 coin vending thingy scam

build perissions one happened to me before, thanks so much.

I recently started playing islands and this wideo is very helpful

The first time I got scammed is because I wanted to make a ruby staff, witch got me naive on that “drop trade scam”, I lost a red page and 2 pink sticky gears, and I was like: *Whatever, Don’t Care*, because I can grind to get more. Edit: The fact that I was trying to get mysterious fragments to go to the underworld and I got lucky on the rubies was really shocking, I’m still grinding for the fragments BTW.

The mega profit is the reason I don't go on published shops that often. I understand that everybody wants to get profit on this exchanges, especially the people with the shops on published, but I too do want to get money and be able to buy items I need (preferably in a way that doesn't feel like I'm selling my kidneys for some peanuts). "Nice guy", you have no power in here! I already have everything I need or I can buy/farm for it xD Patience in the game is key here. Another way of getting scamed is, ironically, "helping" someone that asks for help because they "have been scamed :(". Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not. When players ask for items because they "are new/noob" too. What I do on those cases is always ask what items exactly do they need and/or how many. If I feel they are genuinely in need of help, I even give more than what they asked for. (and only if I can. Think of it as if we were all in holes, you can't help other get out of their hole if you are still inside your own)

I'm just gonna say that you have a nice island man and now i'm insired to build something like that

This is rlly gonna help, thanks!

The build permission scam happened to me but they did it in a smarter way. They gave me items and wanted permission and then mined both one of my industrial smelters and an industrial chest. I yet do not know if this is on the list or if many people know about it. I just want to help people not get scammed by it. Because I don’t want anyone making the same mistake as I did.

Scammers are the type of people who thinks minty ice taste good

Hello Dv thank you for this video because i almost got scammed so i was at a shop buying some things and i saw a account trying to sell a ruby staff for a Patrick trophies so she went on my island and i gave her permission and she started building these tiny huts so i said just give my staff and leave i think she realized that she's not going to scam me so she left and unfriended me but luckily i got pic for her account

I’ve fallen for the buy sell confusion one, and the shop owner wasn’t even scamming. The top was sell and the bottom was buy and I just bought a bunch of wooden logs and was like “nooo”

I have been fell for the "Build Permission" scam (I let a person costumize my island and that person took my berry bush and left)

I got scammed out of test blueprint when they were rare

As a former Growtopia player, these scams occur every day and in huge quantities. Drop games exist too, where players would gamble their prized items for more items: one might win the bet or the other getting kicked out of the area/world. In its modern form, it turned into casinos now which Islands don't have. Stay safe from gambling, kids!

One that happened to me was if your trading good items you invite them to your island and have them drop item then kick so they can’t pick up.

Can u do more collabs with Izzy??? Their rlly funny lol

I remember when i came to someone's island, i almost bought berry seeds for 100k cuz i thought i was selling them. good i only had 30k

back about a year ago, when gilded items (idk if its right lol) were rare, i had a gilded hammer, and one of my friends and me agreed to do a drop trade and he offered for the gilded hammer, and i lost it, he picked it up and didnt give anything. R.I.P. :(

Some people say theyre AFK and by ur vendings, if they just came to your island from disc and theyre putting smth in but they say theyre afk, TURN THEIR BUILDS OFF, the same happened to me, never let other ppl have build on ur island unless its your: alt, friend or someone u ACTUALLY trust

POV: You're thinking about scamming because he mentions scamming

izzys fav word: im crying

This video helped me so much so before I watched this and then went on islands and somebody was triying to scam me I’m like no scammer bad shwoo

The build perm scam actually happened to me, they stole 15 vending and 5 of my smelters before I disabled their build, funny thing is they forgot to disable my build perms on their island so I wrecked it and got back my stolen items lol

I bet Dv laughed so much when izzy said IM CRYING

The build permission scam happened to me she took all my vending machines and my 250 fireflies in the vending machines(idk why I was selling fireflies)

I saw someone that looked like you and had the YT symbol and luckily they were nice and said they were a big fan of you :D

Tip: There are things called Impossible trades where people offer you rare stuff for something not quite rare. E.g. snow globe for tidal aquariam. If u get offered this trade, it is more often than not, a scam. I highly recommend for u to NOT take this trade.

Adopt me scammers be like: Abc to trust trade for smelter!

if only islands had a mod team and a set of rules that disallowed scamming, then scammers would atleast have some risk of being punished

The second one... A few months ago I was trading a pink sticky gear for a empty bottle thing (from the wizards) but first I grab all the stuff in my chest so this dude won't grab anything so I build them so they can put it in the chest then I forgot to inbuilt them then they steal my vending machine

Thx for letting me know how do people SC cause I got scam for a ruby staff

The impersonation scam is now growing due to the feature “display names” it is now hard to avoid the scam because their display name could be DVwastaken

Woah, such a huge island at the start DV!! Awesome

The building one happens ALOT even when it’s your friends online this happened to me in 1st grade despite being in 1st I didn’t even know about islands scams so I was at lunch and playing on my tablet playing island and my online friend (that I didn’t even play with or know) and asked for permission and I gave it to them they did help a little but then they walk away from me I didn’t even know what happened and a few minutes later walk to them and my frog base,farm,crops,houses,and my friends and I chest with our stuff so the lesson DONT EVER AND I MEAN EVERRRRRRR TRUST RANDOM PEOPLE AND LET THEM BUILD.

Wow I'm kind of new to this, and I saw plenty of these examples, luckily I'm too broke to actually get scammed but wow thanks lol

yes the one coin scam happend to me and i lost 9mill super sad :(

Well I didn't expect a friend of mine that I friended months before we played islands to scam me.

"just dont bother reporting scammers, theres nothin anyone can do" Now THATS the attitude I love to hear

Like a year ago from now ish, someone asked if I wanted them to increase my land size. I said yes because I’m stupid. Later, he took all my valuable plants and things and I lost everything. I’m still trying to get back on track currently.
