This days it's easier to build fake app with softwares and still had good reviews on playstore, it's damn easy, scammers get their fake app available on playstore and use multiple google accounts to make reviews for the fake apps, this is a warning for those who used ratings and reviews to download apps on playstore

The reviews can easily be faked by the scammers. if we are talking about playstore and that needs a few seconds to change from one to the another accounts. Imagine when the scammers have so many accounts on gmail.
Never try to use the app that is not yet getting reviews by the reliable parties.
I never try to touch the infamous app on playstore consider there were some hacked cases that's started from the android apps.
The main point to know the reputation of platform or company who was creating the app.

I know those developers could spend a few thousand dollars to provide their application a "legitimate" review and then turn scam after. You better watch out on the developers/makers as well, you could do research on them and check out their other projects.

Have you been scammed OP?

He could move it there but he is not pertaining to a specific service that has scammed him. I think he just put out his frustrations in this thread.

Besides securing positive feedback for your own app, malicious reviews are also being used to knock down competition.

Absolutely. This is the case when the relative freedom to host applications in Play Market has the most detrimental effect, because ordinary users somehow trust the place where they download applications. And it does not matter that Uniswap does not have its own application for smartphones.

Of course these ratings can not be trusted as people simply buy them. Usually services that pays for like, subscription, followers, comments or reviews pay about 1-3$ for a review.
I even remember earning 5$ on upwork for downloading, keeping app om a mobile for a week and writting a review.

Maybe they can help you and a more appropriate forum for discussion of various types of scams.
and my feedback regarding Playstore-based applications. It is necessary to be careful. they are the ones who have the ability to make any crafty way.
I recommend avoiding using applications that are too familiar and do not have names that many people know.
indeed, seeing a good rating and review results can be manipulated by the number of accounts. therefore it is better to avoid suspicious types of applications. because it will have an impact on the theft of your personal data. which at any time can be used for criminal acts.
