Do NOT use the in-game "Leave" button or try to reset your character. Immediately close the entire Roblox application or shut down your device before the trade countdown reaches zero.

If you open a trade window and experience sudden, artificial lag, or notice the other player's ready button flashing rapidly or instantly locking in, close the trade menu immediately. Hop to a different server. 3. Avoid Third-Party Applications for Trades

Scammers often post "overpay" offers on community forums or in-game, offering extremely rare fruits (like Leopard or Kitsune) for relatively common items to lure victims.

The script allows the scammer to "freeze" the trade window on the victim's side. This prevents the victim from removing their items or canceling the trade once the scammer has changed their own offer to something worthless.
