Many of these apps hide in plain sight. Some will steal your money, while others want to snatch a lot more than that. Here are some more scammy apps you’ll find:
  • One app charges $4.99/week to read QR codes (which your phone can do for free).
  • A VPN app claims your phone is infected, so you buy antivirus software you don’t need.
  • AdBlock for Safari VPN Browser raked in $1.1 million, according to the Washington Post.
  • iMetric Analyzer for Instagram took $2.6 million (also from the Washington Post).
  • If a game is popular on the app store, expect to see similar rip-offs (like a game that copied Temple Run, which became the #1 free app on the store).
