Trading is a big part of Adopt Me, but it also attracts scammers. This guide covers the most common scams and how to protect your pets and items.
How it works: A player asks you to "trade" them your pet, promising to return it along with extra items. They never return it.
What to do: Never accept a trust trade. All trades should be completed in the official trade window. If they refuse, they're scamming you.
How it works: A player offers an insane overpay (e.g., a Shadow Dragon for a Dog). They then remove the valuable pet and press accept quickly, hoping you don't notice.
What to do: Always check the trade window carefully before accepting. Take your time. If the offer seems too good, it's a scam.
How it works: A scammer poses as a "trusted middleman" who will hold pets during a trade. They steal the pets and disappear.
What to do: Never use a middleman. Adopt Me's trade system handles trades securely without needing a third party.
How it works: Scammers offer free Robux in exchange for pets. They send a link that leads to a fake Roblox login page to steal your account.
What to do: Never click on suspicious links. Roblox never asks for your password outside the official login page.
How it works: Scammers claim they can duplicate pets. They ask you to trade them the pet, promising to give you two back. They never return it.
What to do: There is no pet duplication glitch. If there was, it would be patched immediately. Never trade a pet for duplication promises.
How it works: Scammers offer a legendary pet, but cancel the trade multiple times. The final time, they replace the legendary with a common pet and accept quickly.
What to do: Check the trade window after each cancellation. If they cancel twice, block them.
