Overview
Cross-game or cross-platform deals sometimes use middlemen. That role is also a favorite costume for scammers.
If you cannot explain why you need an MM in one sentence, you probably should not use one.

Steps
- 1
Prefer official same-game trades first
If both items live in one experience with a trade UI, use that. MM is for awkward cross-ecosystem deals — not for normal Adopt Me swaps.
- 2
Vet the MM like a vendor
Reputation should be specific and verifiable, not “trust me my Vouches channel is huge.” Be suspicious of MMs suggested by the other trader only.
- 3
Define the exact sequence in chat
Who sends what, in what order, with what proof. Ambiguity is where items vanish.
- 4
Abort if the script changes
Suddenly needing your password, authenticator, or a browser extension means the deal is over.
Tips
- Marketplace checkout on mystery.markets exists partly to avoid sketchy MM culture for shop buys.
- Never MM with someone who refuses screenshots.
- Small deals rarely justify stranger MM risk.
FAQ
- Are all middlemen scammers?
- No, but enough pretend that you must verify. Default to skepticism.
- Can Roblox recover MM losses?
- Often no. Prevention beats tickets. Report, secure the account, move on.
