I did some contracting at a place last year, while there the competition released a complete clone (as in identical) of the companies app. While we where having a laugh at how similar it was we noticed expanded the app store description and it was copied verbatim from the place I was at, which comically included links through to the support area, contact information via telephone, brand names etc...
I'm not sure what the follow up was as I was only there a few weeks, but its shocking how lazy people can be when cloning something.
