What should I do after receiving a threat while gaming?

-

Hey everyone, I just had a really unsettling experience while playing a game with my boyfriend. Someone got upset because I didn’t pick their card and started threatening me, saying they were going to hack me and that they found my information. They even said they’d be here on Friday to kill me. I know this might sound silly, but I deal with paranoia and I’m honestly a bit freaked out. Can they really find my personal info that easily? Should I be contacting the police about this? Thanks in advance for your help.

I totally get why you’re freaked out, but chances are, they can’t get any personal info from your Roblox account. This kind of threatening behavior was pretty common in games like Roblox a while back. They’re probably just messing around. Most likely, they’re just a minor and don’t have the means to actually follow through on such threats. They often do this to get a reaction out of people. Just try to ignore it and report them instead!

That makes sense! It’s probably just some kid trying to scare people. If they really wanted to intimidate you, they’re probably just seeking attention.

Honestly, it’s probably just kids acting out. I had a similar situation a couple of years ago; someone got mad I won a game and threatened to come to my apartment. I reported them, and they vanished pretty quickly. Just report the threat and keep playing! You’re not alone in dealing with these kinds of childish antics.

Yeah, I doubt they’re serious. Usually, it’s just kids blowing off steam over a game. It’s better to report this kind of behavior so the game can take action. Trust me, it happens more often than you’d think, and you’re definitely not their first target.
