Fake "Roblox" App by Desi Tarka Private Limited Is Live on Google Play
On June 20th, while watching YouTube Shorts, I came across an ad for an app published on the Google Play Store under the name "Roblox," with the developer listed as "Desi Tarka Private Limited." This app appears to have no connection whatsoever to the real Roblox, and I believe it is fake.
The app's store page explicitly states that user data is not encrypted, putting user security at serious risk. On top of that, the developer name is entirely different from the actual Roblox developer — which is a major red flag indicating this is a counterfeit. Despite all of this, the app uses the "Roblox" name in a way that could easily mislead children and families into thinking it's legitimate. I have also seen YouTube Shorts videos where users are pre-registering for this app, which means people are already falling for this fake listing.
In accordance with Google Play's policies on user safety and brand impersonation, I am demanding that this app be reviewed immediately, removed from the store if it has no legitimate connection to the real Roblox, and that users who have already pre-registered — or are considering doing so — be clearly warned about the situation.
