A fake "Pokémon" scam thousands of people in the App Store

A few weeks ago we talked about the great problem of App Store applications to those "who crash" and are not abusive but copies of other highly successful. Mentioned examples such as "Plants Vs Zombie", "Tiny Birds" and "Angry Birds Ninja."

Well, far from solving the problem, Apple once again be involved in a controversy over the appearance in the App Store a game called "Pokémon Yellow" and that has nothing to do with the games of the Nintendo franchise. A trap that many customers seem to have fallen thinking it was the original title of the Japanese company. Obviously, when you open the game, users found they had nothing to do with the Pokémon game series.

As reported by Vandal , the alert jumped when the fake "Pokémon Yellow" reached the top of the top selling games from the App Store. It is estimated that the author could have raised about $ 10,000 with this scam. The title cost 0.79 euros.

Apple needs to end, effectively, this type of deception.
