this is relevant is as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hitwe.android&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hitwe.andr... tldr: 'HitWe' it's a tinder-like dating app with 10M+ installs on google play (haven't checked itunes). i came across it by browsing dating apps for fun. most of the bad reviews (1-2 stars) are from people who claim it's 95% fake profiles etc. many claim that women there just ask for their email etc. some even claim to have paid some of the women which have then disappeared (but that's being too naive, IMO. never pay someone you have never met.. ). there are many many good reviews, but most are only with 5 stars and without any text (which, to me, is another red flag). anyway - the most interesting part here is that they actually managed to fool google, up until this very moment! google recommended me to view their app.. spam does work ! ps - googling (ironic, i know) 'hitwe app scam' showed me this on the first result: http://www.datingbusters.com/hitwe-com-exposed-for-fake-profiles-throughout-their-site/ http://www.datingbusters.com/hitwe-com-exposed-for-fake-prof... i am interested in a response from one of google play's spam engineers/managers .. edit: spelling edit2: it took me 0.5 secs to start sensing that it's a fake-boosted app. a human reviewer at google could have just scanned the top 100x dating apps in a single day and map out the fake apps. what do you think?
