🧵 HOW ROBLOX LOCKS PAYING CUSTOMERS INTO VIETNAM (VNG) WITH ZERO REMEDY — A DOCUMENTED CASE
I'm Ilya, from Belarus 🇧🇾. I've been a paying Roblox customer since 2019. Over 11,000 Robux purchased (~$140 USD). I own a created group, years of progress, and an active Roblox Plus subscription.
One day, I accidentally installed the Vietnamese version of the Roblox app. That single mistake permanently locked my account into the "VNG (Vietnam)" region. I've never been to Vietnam. I don't have a Vietnamese ID. I'm a Belarusian citizen with a Belarusian passport.
Here's what happened to my account after the VNG lock:
❌ Voice chat — completely blocked
❌ Text chat — severely restricted
❌ Roblox Plus subscription — "Something went wrong" error
❌ Games I played for years — now blocked ("isContentRestricted: true", Error 524: "You do not have permission to join this experience")
❌ Chat says: "You can only view system messages here. Chat is not available in your region"
Meanwhile, Roblox CONTINUES TO ACCEPT MY PAYMENTS. They take my money but deny me the services I paid for.

📧 WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I CONTACTED SUPPORT:
I submitted 5 (FIVE) support tickets:
• #172240124
• #172532152
• #173346683
• #173352963
• #174566368
EVERY SINGLE ONE — including tickets sent to [email protected] (their official GDPR/data privacy contact) and [email protected] — was AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED and forwarded to "Roblox - VNG Support" in Vietnam.
VNG's response (from agent "Karl"):
"When your account accessed the RobloxVNG app/website, you were presented with the VNG Terms of Service, which included a warning that agreement to the VNG Terms of Service would irreversibly change your account to a RobloxVNG account. Unfortunately, we cannot change your account back to a global user. Therefore, to access the Roblox site, you'll need to create a new account."
Their "solution": ABANDON my 6-year-old account, LOSE all my purchases ($140+), LOSE my created group, LOSE all my progress — and start from scratch.
Then Karl added this gem:
"You have the right to make a complaint to your national authority or another supervisory authority and can enforce to seek your right through a judicial remedy."
They literally told me to go sue them instead of fixing a database entry.

⚖️ WHAT I DID NEXT:
I took their advice. I filed EVERYTHING:
✅ Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint #24933277 — filed June 11, 2026. Roblox Corporation NEVER RESPONDED. BBB officially closed the complaint as "BUSINESS FAILED TO RESPOND" — a public negative mark on their business profile.
✅ Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Consumer Report — filed June 18, 2026. Now in the Consumer Sentinel database accessible to federal and state law enforcement.
✅ California Attorney General complaint — filed June 18, 2026 against Roblox Corporation (headquartered in San Mateo, CA) for potential violations of:
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Section 1798.130
• California Business & Professions Code § 17200
• Unauthorized transfer of consumer data to a third party (VNG Games)
✅ Trustpilot review documenting the entire case.
✅ I even tried emailing [email protected] — their server AUTO-BLOCKED my email and told me to send certified U.S. Mail. They literally hide behind requiring international postage to file a legal dispute.

🚨 THIS IS NOT JUST MY PROBLEM:
Right now, as you read this, Roblox VNG is:
• Banning games that were previously available
• Blocking chat for all VNG users
• Restricting content with "Experience unavailable" errors
• Locking accounts after 180 minutes of playtime
• Killing VPN access so users can't escape
Look at these users reporting the SAME issues TODAY:
@HmRobloxIsDed — "all of the games are banned now on this platform"
@forgottenrainyy — "THEY BANNED SEWH FOR VNG ACCOUNTS"
@Koa1131 — "my own game is IP banned from my own country"
@decaplex_ — "almost all of my recent games are wiped"
@gng_okay8208 — "DELETED THE GLOBAL CHAT AND KILLED THE VPN"
@Mynameisphat148 — "All of my favorite games vanished after 1 night"
This is a SYSTEMATIC issue affecting thousands of users. And Roblox's only answer is: "create a new account."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ WHAT I WANT:
I'm NOT asking for money.
I'm NOT asking for my account to be deleted.
I'm NOT asking for special treatment.
I am asking for ONE thing: manually correct my account region from "VNG (Vietnam)" to "Global (Belarus)."
I have my Belarusian passport ready to prove my identity. I've offered to verify through any secure channel. Roblox refuses.
