Funny thing. The app store was all cleared out and now there are new bogus apps listed again. New email contact info this time. Wtf this is insane.
Probably because of the way the Play Store is set up. Unlike the Apple App Store, where every app must be approved before being made publicly available, anyone can post to the Play Store. Reviews are only done if someone reports an app to Google. And since there's no real punishment for getting your app removed, the scammers just keep putting them out there.
Maybe Google should require a deposit before a developer can post an app. If the app doesn't get pulled after a certain amount of time, they get their deposit back. If it does get pulled, they lose it. That would stop a lot of this crap.

If something like that happen, developers find other alternatives. It is not their fault that Google won't invest in a vetting process like Apple does. It will also encourage developers to start favoring Apple again. It won't stop the garbage either, they will just wait till they get their deposit and zap people with an update.
Seems to me like no one at RIM knows what they doing more like let's do this and see how it goes, They just weren't ready for the launch period, how can a leaked android apk affect the entire launch. Probably didn't have enough servers to launch BBM cross platform. Anyone who had a twitter account could see the buzz around this launch and they failed to deliver

Just had another mass go at reporting again. Getting tedious now.

Insanity! There are 9 apps still on at the app store.
Wake me from this evil dream.
Yeah I'm not going to lie, I am getting pretty disenchanted with the Play Store

Pretty stunned too at how quickly they keep popping back up too. Someone or an organisation out there really has a nasty agenda.

BlackBerry Limited actually. If you do a search on Google Play for developer: BlackBerry Limited you will get official BB apps. A good clue is the spelling of BlackBerry. The fakes have only one capital B: Blackberry. If they can't spell it right then it's not a real BlackBerry app. Unfortunately, because of the leak, the rollout has been paused while it's disabled.
*facepalm* Why don't people just have some patience and wait for the official version?!
