Adopt Me on Roblox is one of those games where trading pets and items can be super exciting—but also a little risky. Even though most players are just trying to have fun, scammers do exist, and falling for one can be really frustrating, especially if you’ve spent hours earning a rare pet. As someone who’s been trading in Adopt Me for a while, I’ve picked up a few tips on spotting red flags and staying safe while enjoying the game.
Watch Out for Unrealistic Offers
One of the first things I’ve learned is that if a trade sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Some scammers will promise you a super rare pet in exchange for something common, or try to convince you to give them your pets “just for fun.” Remember, no legitimate trade should pressure you into sending something first.
For example, if someone messages you offering a huge bundle of pets, it’s tempting to accept right away. A safer approach is to double-check the trade, ask yourself if it’s fair, and maybe even step away for a few minutes. Scammers often rely on excitement to make you act too fast.
Double-Check Before You Buy
Sometimes players are tempted to buy adopt me pets outside the game, thinking it’s a shortcut to get rare or legendary creatures. While it might seem convenient, this is exactly the kind of situation scammers exploit. Only purchase pets through official channels or trusted sources. If you ever see offers that seem suspiciously cheap, it’s usually a trap. A good habit is to research sellers first and see what other players are saying.
Spot the Classic Scammer Tricks
Scammers tend to use a few common tactics that you can learn to recognize. Here’s what I’ve noticed the most:

• Imitating Official Accounts: They might copy Roblox staff names or profiles. Always check carefully—official Roblox messages have specific badges and formatting.
• Pressure to Trade Quickly: If someone insists “trade now or lose it,” that’s a huge warning sign. Take your time.
• Third-Party Websites: Some will ask you to visit outside sites, like U4GM, claiming you’ll get pets or Robux there. Even if it looks legit, you’re risking your account. It’s best to avoid any site that asks for your login info or personal data.

Verify Before Accepting Trades
In-game, Adopt Me provides a trade window that lets you see what both sides are offering. Always double-check that the pets and items match what you agreed on. A scammer might try to swap something at the last second or hide details in the chat. It sounds simple, but carefully reading every trade can save you a lot of headaches.
A little tip: screenshot the trade if something feels off. While Roblox can’t always reverse trades, having a record can help if you need to report suspicious behavior.
Trust Your Instincts
Honestly, some of the best protection is common sense. If a trade or offer feels weird, it probably is. Most scammers count on you ignoring gut feelings. I always remind myself: patience and caution beat rushing into a “too good to be true” deal.
Another thing I’ve found helpful is connecting with friends or trusted players for advice. Sometimes a second opinion can spot something you might have missed. Sharing your experiences also helps the community stay safer overall.
Keep Learning and Stay Updated
Adopt Me updates regularly, and scammers adapt quickly. Whether it’s a new event, pet, or trade mechanic, staying informed can help you avoid being tricked. Follow Roblox forums, watch community guides, and participate in discussions with other players. Knowledge really is power in avoiding scams.
