If you’re new to Roblox trading and someone mentions “105,” your guard should go up. That number is often tied to scams targeting beginners who don’t yet know how item values work. Scammers use “105” as bait pretending they’ll trade 105 of something valuable (like Dominus items or rare limiteds) for one of your items. It sounds too good to be true because it is.

What does “Roblox trading 105 scam” even mean?

The “105 scam” usually refers to fake offers where scammers claim they’ll send you 105 high-value items in exchange for one thing you own. Sometimes they say “I’ll give you 105 Dominus” or “105 Limited UGC.” The number itself doesn’t matter it’s the pattern that counts. These offers are designed to trick players who haven’t learned real market values yet.

Why do beginners fall for this?

New traders often don’t know what items are actually worth. They see big numbers and assume they’re getting a jackpot. Scammers count on that confusion. If you’ve just started trading, you might not realize that 105 Dominus hats don’t exist in one person’s inventory or that no serious trader would offer that much for a common item. You can learn more about why these scams target newcomers here.

Red flags that scream “scam”

  • They rush you. “Hurry, I’m leaving Roblox tomorrow!” is a classic pressure tactic.
  • They avoid showing their inventory. Real traders let you check what they’re offering. Scammers dodge screenshots or invent excuses.
  • The math makes no sense. If they’re offering 105 ultra-rare items for your basic hat, that’s not generosity it’s a trap.
  • They ask you to send first. Legit trades happen at the same time. If they want your item before sending theirs, walk away.
  • Their account looks sketchy. New profile, no friends, weird username? Big warning sign.

Real example: How the 105 trick plays out

A player messages you: “I’ll trade you 105 Dominus Empyreus for your Rainbow Friends Yarn Ball.” Sounds wild, right? But if you don’t know that a single Dominus Empyreus is worth millions and nobody owns 105 of them, you might think you’re getting lucky. In reality, they’ll either vanish after you send your item or send you nothing but junk if anything at all.

Mistakes beginners make (and how to avoid them)

One common error is trusting flashy usernames or promises of “limited-time deals.” Another is skipping basic research. Before any trade, check recent sales on Rolimons or RBXFlip. See what your item is worth and what theirs actually is. Don’t rely on what the other person tells you.

You can also brush up on spotting fake offers with these practical tips. It takes five minutes and could save you from losing something valuable.

What to do if you’ve already been scammed

First, don’t panic. Report the user through Roblox’s report system. Screenshot everything their message, the trade window, their profile. Then, take a breath and learn. Every experienced trader got tricked at least once. What matters is that you don’t repeat the mistake.

Next steps to stay safe

Bookmark this quick reference so you can glance at it before your next trade. Start small trade low-value items until you get comfortable. Ask questions in trusted Discord servers or subreddits. And never feel pressured to accept a trade that feels off.

Quick checklist before hitting “Accept Trade”

  • Did I verify the actual value of both sides of the trade?
  • Is the other trader rushing me or making emotional appeals?
  • Have I checked their inventory and profile for red flags?
  • Am I sending my item first? (If yes, cancel.)
  • Does this deal sound too good to be true? (If yes, it is.)
