There’s no way scams like this actually work, right? I mean, I’m not surprised there are jerks who submit these apps, and I’m not surprised there are users who get tricked into paying for them. But surely by the time comes for Google to pay these developers, they’ve been flagged as scammers and don’t see a dime of it. Right?
Update: Worth noting, perhaps, that many of the commenters take a “blame the user” stance.
