Spot an unban scam
When an account gets banned, people show up offering to fix it for a price. They can't. Here's how to tell, and what to do if you've already talked to one.
Red flags
If someone offering to get your account back does any of these, it's a scam. You only need to spot one.
They ask for
- Your password, a 2-step verification code, or your browser cookies
- Downloading an "unban script", a tool, or a file to run
- Signing in through a link they send you
They act like this
- DMs you first, claiming to be Roblox staff or a moderator
- Says paying them gets the ban removed, whether in Robux, money or gift cards
- Says they can unban you themselves, often on Discord or social media
- Says your account will be deleted soon unless you act right now
- Gets pushy, angry or threatening when you ask questions
Watch out for links too. Some scams send you to a page that looks exactly like the Roblox login page. Before you type your password anywhere, check the address bar says roblox.com, and if you're not sure, close the tab and go to the site yourself.
How bans really get lifted
Only Roblox can lift a Roblox ban, and it does that through its own official appeal process. That's the only way.
- Nobody can buy an unban. Anyone who says paying them gets the ban removed is lying. Paying a stranger in Robux, money or gift cards doesn't change anything on Roblox's side.
- Nobody can hack an unban. Scripts and tools that claim to remove a ban don't work, and running them can put your device and other accounts at risk.
- Real staff won't DM you. Roblox talks about your account through its own website and support, which you can find at support.roblox.com.
appea.ls is independent and isn't part of Roblox either. We can't unban anyone. We only help you write your own clear, honest appeal. You send it yourself, and only Roblox decides.
What appea.ls will never ask for
So you can tell us apart from someone pretending to be us:
- We never ask for your Roblox password, sign-in codes, recovery codes or cookies
- We never log in to your Roblox account
- We never message you first on Roblox, Discord or anywhere else
- We only email you from our own domain, appea.ls
If a message says it's from us but breaks any of these, it isn't. You can check with us at [email protected].
For parents
Teens are often the target of these offers, especially right after a ban when they're upset and want their account back fast. A calm chat about the red flags above goes a long way. Our guide for parents and guardians explains what appea.ls does and how to help with an appeal safely.
