Botting games stealing icon and name of original and redirecting users to another game

There are bot accounts that are botting thousands and thousands of games that steal a games title, icon, and description. These botted games then teleport you to a different game to give the owners of the bots free money.

I’m about 60% sure that ROBLOX knows about this issue but to my knowledge no one has posted about it.

I joined one of the botted games and it teleported me to “Snow Tycoon”.

Expected behavior

If everything was working correctly, ROBLOX would automatically detect and delete the botted games and the game that it teleports the player too.

This has happened to a bunch of my games many times before. Bots will create a ton of fake games that all pose as your game but are really just a redirect to “Snow Tycoon”.

This technically isn’t a “bug” but I still hope Roblox could try to prevent this because it’s kind of annoying.

You could try filing a removal request in the Rights Manager if you really want to get rid of them.

This happens to my game 🎄 Kohaú Hibachi Restaurant - Roblox and it’s crazy that people are able to do it. One search for “Kohau” found me over 100 botted games with the same name and icon as mine. I doubt they’re fooling many people to be honest, but it’s still ridiculous.

I’d like to add on the information that the compromised accounts of some older users have also replaced their original place with the copy of such games. They also redirect to the Snow Tycoon. That concludes that the bots they use are NOT exclusively newly created accounts, but also compromised accounts.
