Staying safe
The scams to watch for when hiring, selling or buying on DevNet, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Keep payments on DevNet
DevNet can only protect money it handles. Buy assets through checkout, sell games through Acquire, and be wary of anyone who asks you to:
- pay or get paid outside a DevNet checkout or Acquire deal, for example "to skip the fee";
- send gift cards, crypto or Robux up front for something that hasn't been delivered;
- take a conversation somewhere else before you've checked who they are.
Report anyone who asks you to pay outside an Acquire deal.
Check who you're dealing with
- Look at their profile: connected Roblox and GitHub accounts, the Verified badge, real games and reviews.
- On Acquire, Roblox ownership is checked by DevNet before a listing goes live and again before a deal opens. That doesn't cover the rights to the art, music or code inside, so ask about anything you're unsure of.
- On the marketplace, every asset is downloaded and tested by staff before it goes live. Still, read reviews and the description before you buy.
Protect your account
- Only open sign-in links you asked for. DevNet's sign-in emails come from DevNet and expire after 15 minutes.
- DevNet staff will never ask for your sign-in link.
- On Roblox, keep your LiveOps key in server scripts, and replace it if it leaks.
If something goes wrong
- A problem with an Acquire deal: report it on the deal page before the protection window ends. See Refunds and disputes.
- A stolen or broken asset: use Report asset.
- Harassment or spam: report the post, or block the person in chat. See Reporting and moderation.
- Anything else: ask in the support channel on the DevNet Discord or email support@devnet.lol.
