Roblox has seen a huge rise in popularity over the past year, largely due to lockdowns across the world. People stuck at home are enjoying Roblox’s open-world gameplay that offers tons of customization. For the uninitiated, Roblox has an in-game currency called Robux that can be used to purchase in-game items. Robux can be purchased in exchange for real money, but over the years, many websites have popped up claiming to offer the in-game currency for free. A recent addition to this group of websites is ‘blox.fish’ and many people are wondering if it’s actually true. If you’re in the same boat, here’s everything you need to know about blox.fish.

Blox.fish is a shady website that claims to offer you free Robux in exchange for completing a simple survey. If you’re familiar with internet surveys, you know that there are very few legitimate websites that offer actual rewards in exchange for surveys. As the name “blox.fish” suggests, this is actually a phishing website that aims to steal personal user data and even take over Robux accounts of unsuspecting users.

The biggest flag for this website is the requirement to complete the survey. Most of these websites will give you an error message once you complete a survey and ask you to start all over again. Once you do this a few times, you will realize that there is no reward and that this was all a ploy to get you to complete seemingly easy surveys.

These surveys essentially collect personal information that is then used to identify you on the internet and send you ads based on your recent interests. This data can also be sold to malicious third parties who can then use this data to engage you in more elaborate scams.
