I've been looking for a way to make some cash and I saw an ad on roblox and it said "Get paid $25-40 per week for doing a survey". So I signed up for it and sent my info in. It wasn't even 5 minutes later and I get this email saying I got the job and here's my login info and I need to check my emails daily. I then looked up the website and it was a scam that got 100s of people scammed. Now I'm scared that they're going to use my credit card or something to steal money... what do I do?

The worst part is, I've told my parents but they're not as tech savvy as me so they don't really understand what I'm talking about.

Yeah but they'll probably think it was just a joke.

Oh god I just thought of something! What if the website uses my IP to track me down? That would be bad.

I hope they don't track me down but I don't want them to use my account to steal money. My parents said they won't yell or anything but I have a feeling they might ground me forever...

Ok so... I found out that the website is a scam and there's no way for me to get my money back (I'm never gonna pay them anything). What if I tried emailing the roblox admins though? They might be able to help me out.

I can't really ask my parents to send it since they're probably going to think I'm stupid or something like that.
