As you may know, Deceptive Advertising has always been a big issue. Ranging from Spamming tags to using bots to get a game popular, Bots have been an ongoing issue since, well, I don't know. But now, a new form of scams have come, and its spreading faster than the wildfires in the Amazon Rainforest.

Go search up literally any word for a game on the Roblox search. For example, I searched Tomato. After clicking on the Search button, you will see a ton of games with the same word searched like this:

"TOMATO TOMATO" or "Tomato Tomato"

To start, the first one has its description as "TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO Tomato Tomato Tomato". The second one has its description with something that looks like a Copypasta:

"Welcome to (game name) (game name)!

Remember that this game is early in development, which means bugs will happen and some aspects of the game will be bare bones. Thanks for Understanding!"

These games usually have stolen place images in their thumbnails, including obby thumbnails and youtube video thumbnails, and the makers of the game having random characters put in the name.. All of these games redirect you to this one game called "FISHING SIMULATOR 🎣🐟".

This form of deceptive advertising has spread so much at this point that it is nearly impossible to stop it. The only way I believe is best to do is to content delete the fishing simulator game. But if the games start to redirect to different games, the problem could get worse.

I have reported this to the Roblox team through reporting the Fishing simulator game. No actions have been taken towards the game as of posting this. We need to find a way to stop this epidemic. More of these types of games are being created right as you are reading this. There has to be a way to stop this. If you know any solutions or have contacted roblox about this problem, comment below.
