I messaged them saying
"Dear Starbucks,
I would like to start off by saying that I enjoy your company very much, and I love the fact that Starbucks works hard to keep business going. However, there is someone who is stealing from you by using your logos, name, and even saying they own the rights to your company on a sandbox gaming website called ROBLOX where they have profited from using everything that belongs to you.
On the site, users build games and they can earn money from these games if they gain a certain amount of virtual currency. The user known as Cyrogenix has stolen your logos, claimed false copyright ownership, and may have even profited using Starbucks material. If he has profited, he has given none of this money earned back to Starbucks and has kept it for himself.
He's stealing through the internet, which is completely unacceptable because that hurts you and it tells people that Starbucks logos can and should be used in this manner.
Not only that, he had the audacity to put a copyright symbol in the title of his virtual company which you can view here.
(group was here)
His game is here. As you can see, he is clearly using copyrighted material and he is definitely profiting from it with fame and most likely with the DevEx program. Even if he wasn't profiting, he's impersonating Starbucks and giving it a bad reputation which is why many people believe you should take action against this. Not only that, he's using your company for his own personal fame which gives Starbucks a bad name because he's not a very nice person since he thinks he is above the law since his game has been there for "three years" as seen in this screenshot of his own words shown below.
His game can be found here: http://www.roblox.com/games/223718732/Starbucks-Cafe
You can contact ROBLOX at (info link here) if you would like them to remove this false owner's copyright and take appropriate action about this misuse of Starbucks property.
I do not like seeing people walk all over my favorite place to get coffee. I was raised in Seattle, and I can't imagine a world where impostors ran their own illegal Starbucks Cafes!
Thank you so much!
They replied saying
"Dear Sam, Thank you for contacting Starbucks. I just finished reading your message and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. I'm extremely happy that you love Starbucks. Thank you for writing to Starbucks about the theft of our logo. We take your concerns about this seriously and want to assure you they have been thoroughly documented and shared with all appropriate departments here in Starbucks corporate office."
LET US HEAR IT FOR SAUCY |

Actually not true, they deal with these issues.
Google "Not Starbucks" and "Dumb Starbucks" |

"Actually not true, they deal with these issues." there are large impersonators who actually counterfeit starbucks coffee, and they don't do anything about it what makes you think they'll do something about an 'issue' as tiny as this |
