There are so many scams on every platform that it's ridiculous. I think the gatekeepers are responsible for it TBH. Prior to big tech usurping control over distribution, a lot more effort went into branding and direct distribution of apps. People understood the difference between lastpass.com and totallynotfakelastpass.com. Then big tech started obscuring identity and trust information in an effort to push users towards their gateways (Google search, Apple app store, etc) instead. And here we are, in a world filled with users that can't help themselves because they've been systematically dumbed-down by big tech. We're on the 2nd generation of users that have been trained to trust the app store which is little more than a big search engine due to the volume. I would compare it to searching for an app on Google and installing whatever shows up high in the results. The average user doesn't have the tools to discover the trustworthiness of individual developers, and haven't for ~15 years, which has led to a situation where no one (normal) could assess things properly even if you gave them the tools they need.
