now you just sound like a douche and a spammer. your lying to people on the forums, youve made 60 apps and counting which are probably spam apps, and frankly, nobody likes you…congratulations

No sign of Ilya Suzdalnitski or his apps any longer! Looks like he tried to pull his scam again on the 9th, and this time Apple was watching!

These people are not only posting 5* reviews and rating on their own apps, but also posting bad ratings on competitor's apps (espeically if it is free app like mine), which is unethical. Most of my apps are free and I gain revenue via ads. But due to this ****, my apps are sufferring.

I have spotted quite many reviews text that are the exact same as the 5 stars reviews on my competitors but posted on my apps, with 1 star. Like:

On my app
1*
"This app is awesome. Worth to buy!"

On competitor app
5*
"This app is awesome. Worth to buy!"

How do we fight this?

The negative reviews never go into details, so they can post the same one to every competitor app. They are generally like "This app is not as good as they say", "This app is a con, don't buy it", ....
The most annoying thing is these guys are reposting the same review every single day.
When will Apple finally limit the number of times a review can be resubmited.

I thought the analysis was interesting and easily proved that the reviews were fake. And yes, artificially manipulating rating is a "scam".

Why not let Apple fight this? If a company A cheats on company B you are gonna fight that too?

it's a matter between one private business called "Apple" and another private business called "Cheater". Are you fighting when people cheat PayPal? Do credit card fraud? Pirating? Do you fight piratebay?

Wassap with all this fixation on Apple store? You guys think Apple can't do the same analysis to spot fake reviews? You think they can't remove and weed out scammers? You want to volunteer for Apple? If you do, then don't complain of not making money

private meaning not government. A public company is also a private business.
