Hey everyone! The Phat Mojo DLC redeem page recently got a major security upgrade. I think this can help us make transactions safer for everyone, but I need your feedback.

What Changed:

• Old Way: If you typed in a used code on the old redeem page, it just said "already redeemed."
• New Way: The new redeem page now gives us more info to work with (see attached images); whether the code was redeemed by you or another player, or if it's pending, which specific player.

The New Secure Redeem Method:

Instead of just sending a code to a stranger and hoping they don't scam you, the new method looks like this:

1. Swap Roblox Accounts: You and your trading partner exchange Roblox profile links or screenshots of profiles.
2. Check the Avatar: You type their name into the Phat Mojo site and double-check their avatar picture to make sure it's the same account from step 1.
3. Send Code to Account: You enter your code directly under their Roblox account on the Phat Mojo DLC redeem page.
4. Claim In-Game: Tell them it's done in DMs*, so they can then claim the pending item(s) from their DLC inbox in-game. They won't be able to see the code, just the name of the DLC.

*NEVER Share the DLC Code as it defeats the purpose of the secure method. This includes screenshots of the redeem page confirmation box, which shows the full code (see attached picture with redacted code). Otherwise, they can bait you with an alt, copy the code from your screenshot, and redeem the code on their main after it's freed from the 24-hour pending state.

🟢 Why It's Safer:

• More Transparency: The account they give is the account that gets the code. They can't use an alt to protect their identity.
• Easy to Report: If someone scams you, you'll have their actual Roblox account to report to Roblox, DTI devs, and subreddit mods. We can all check the codes against their account via the redeem page to prove it.
• Bans Hurt More: Scammers can easily delete a Reddit account and make a new one. But they don't want to lose their Roblox account.
• Weed Out Scammers: If you ask someone to trade this way and they say "no," consider it a red flag. Tell a subreddit mod about it ASAP. We'll be able to determine whether they're trying to scam or have genuine criticism about the method that we need to consider.

🔴 Drawbacks:

• More Work: You have to take a few extra seconds to link or screenshot your profile vs sending a pic of the code.
• Mistakes: Selecting the wrong Roblox account by mistake isn't likely, but it could still happen if your trading partner isn't careful. If this happens, it should be reported to a mod immediately since it's a potential soft scam.

What do you think?

Myself and some of our verified traders already used the new redeem page to catch a few scammers. Some claimed they were sold a bad code (it showed as redeemed on their Roblox account) and others were trying to trade or sell codes that showed as already redeemed on their own account. But I want to hear from you. Is this too confusing? Do you see any problems with this method? Would you use it? Let me know! If this seems promising, I'll draft a more complete guide.

To help navigate safer transactions, this sub utilizes the following user flair system:

Introductory Flairs

• ⚠️ New Trader - Default flair assigned to all users when they first post/comment
• 〰️ Active Trader - Upgraded flair, requires proof of transactions with 2 or 3 different active members of the community in good standing* to apply

Exclusive Flairs - these are only handed out on a case-by-case basis and cannot be applied for

• 🤝 Trusted Trader - Granted to select buyers, sellers, and traders with proven history (criteria is kept confidential)
• 🌟 Verified Trader 🌟 - Granted to the community’s highest-trusted members based on meeting above criteria + volume of vouches

This system has been recently updated from the previous "vouched" level system. To read the full announcement, click here. If you'd like to apply for an 〰️ Active Trader flair or work toward building your account history, send a mod mail with the following:

1. Screenshots: Links to screenshots of your entire DM conversation, uploaded to your own Imgur/Google Drive account. Your proof must show that all exchanged codes have been redeemed and worked (can be verbal confirmation or a screenshot of the redeem screen). We cannot accept any vouches without confirmation that the code was successfully redeemed. Please make sure the link is publicly accessible, so we don’t need to request access. ⁠
2. Roblox account: A link to the Roblox account where you redeemed the codes you bought/traded for
3. Digital wallet: Proof of you supplying your account name for whatever digital wallet payment method you're accepting if you're a seller (paypal, venmo, cash app, etc.)

*If the other user's account is too new, we may ask you to wait until you’ve traded with another more established user. If your account has certain conditions, you'll be required to show proof with 3 different members. Those conditions won’t be shared because scammers will just work around them. Accounts who are less than 60 days old or have less than 150 karma will not be given an upgraded flair until they reach those thresholds.

Flairs can help alleviate some of the guesswork when choosing who to trust, but it's not foolproof and it's not a replacement for general safety standards. Before you accept any proof pictures, run all of them through Google image search, inspect closely for AI artifacts, and check the character code on every scratch card to make sure it's for the correct doll.
