    Appcoins Scam at Aptoide Market

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 02:42 PM PST

    I recently purchased Tasker by João Dias from the Google Play Store and was going to buy some of the related plugins, when I saw this message at the Aptoide Market app.

    So I looked into Appcoins, which seemed to be legit and Aptoide Market had the apps marked with a "Trusted" badge. So i went ahead and bought 2 apps AutoVoice and AutoTools, from Aptoide Market using Appcoins. But as I had trouble getting the app to work, I contacted the author João Dias (as the error message said I should do).

    I was very surprised when i read his response, as João Dias stated that he had no knowledge of the Appcoin versions of his apps sold at Aptoide Market, and that he doesn't recieve any payback from those sales.

    So I contacted the author of another app (AZ Screen Recorder) I was going to buy, and got the exact same reply from the author. That their app is only released through Google Play Store and that they have no knowledge of Appcoins.

    Digging a bit deeper and using Apk Analyzer to display the app info, reveals that the Appcoins version sold at Aptoide Market are signed with a different key than the original author. (A sure sign of unauthorized tampering.)

    So far ALL the apps I have tested, which is sold using Appcoins on Aptoide Market are MODIFIED with unoriginal signature.

    So not only are they selling and stealing the revenue from the original authors. But it's also a case of identity theft, as they are passing the modded apps of as they where released by the real author.

    I have tried contacting Aptoide Market to no avail and it looks like Aptoide Market is part of the scam.

    Custom contact colors were taking away but did anyone notice that in group messages it's the same color across all android phones?

    It's actually really cool. You can identify the person by their contact number without knowing what their name is.
