> We are an online game on the ROBLOX platform. Do not enter payments or any personal information. The fact that you need this disclaimer because your site looks like a real site down to every possible detail is a problem. At no point does this look like a game. It is indistinguishable from a scam.

It is a real site, from Ryanair

  The brand/copyright info page would suggest otherwise[0]. But it seems like harmless fun to me -- "Ryanair ROBLOX is a non-profit group which intends no infringement to the trademarks of Ryanair. We do not accept real cash and exist for the purpose of online gaming and enjoyment, as with other flight simulator games on ROBLOX and beyond, such as flight simulator games. We are passionate about Ryanair and working on components including this website have helped to develop the skills of our staff and passengers for future use in the industry. We would comply with any copyright requests or simple complaints but have not received any to date. We are therefore in a position to keep operating, developing and expanding. The experience and knowledge gained by some staff, including in website development, may even be a bonus for future prospective careers within Ryanair. These are profoundly vast achievements, including website development, coding with Java, airline management and operation, creating SOPs, implementing trainings and more. We hope that our consistent love and advertisement of Ryanair, if seen, will be welcomed! As we are a virtual airline, we pose no threat or harm."

    Seems like a win scenario for the real Ryanair, free interactive and relatable advertising to children who will grow up and use them.

      I'd love to believe this but in reality all it would take for this to end is a dumbass landing on this site thinking it's real (and ignoring the initial modal about how this is not real) and then complaining about it to the real Ryanair on social media.

        From what I know of ryanair social media, they'd probably make fun of this person for being unable to read, and maybe demand a cut of the robux from the site's operators. They might actually do something legally about the trademark violation, but not what you'd expect from most companies.

The roblox characters in the photos and roblox in the name doesnt give it away?

  Why would it?

    Uh, well, because that's contrary to the operation of every other professional airline company in the world. Would you think it was strange if suddenly the New York Times only had pictures of dogs? That would raise some questions from me, for sure.

Most of Roblox is indistinguishable from a scam.

  So much of RyanAir is indistinguishable from a scam... fees for on-site checkin combined with a 2-hour cutoff for online checkin; dark patterns pushing people towards double-paying for baggage fees; etc.
