Summary
Buy lots of fake reviews on a daily basis (notice the pattern of all these non-sensical reviewer “names”): pic.twitter.com/VtabR80QkPAs we discussed last April, it’s ridiculously easy to find scams on Apple’s App Store — just follow the money and look at the reviews. So the fact that Apple isn’t pulling this one from the App Store (and instead appears to be helping AmpMe clean up the more obvious fake reviews, according to TechCrunch) doesn’t really surprise me. It isn’t the first company Eleftheriou has uncovered where a seemingly legitimate app that’s been around for years sprouts a new set of fake reviews, and a new screen advertising an exorbitant subscription price that you have to pay or dismiss the first time you launch.
