Title: Apple Approves Two Scam-Like Bitcoin Apps Again, Due Diligence in Question Post by: Chronobank on October 11, 2016, 02:04:30 PM Recently Apple approved two applications called Ocean and AlphaWallet that are structurally designed to steal Bitcoin from users. Although Apple has been removing a substantial number of suspicions apps on its app store, the consistent emergence of obvious scam applications are beginning to concern the Bitcoin community.
IPhone and other Apple device users have had serious issues with scam Bitcoin applications on the Apple App store that are designed to extract and steal user funds. The company’s inability to filter scam-like apps is creating a poor ecosystem for Bitcoin users. https://cointelegraph.com/news/apple-approves-two-scam-like-bitcoin-apps-again-due-diligence-in-question Title: Re: Apple Approves Two Scam-Like Bitcoin Apps Again, Due Diligence in Question Post by: Milkduds on October 11, 2016, 04:41:34 PM Makes sense for them to allow scammers on to their app site,it achieves two goals. One it discourages people from using bitcoin and the other is it advertises applepay by showing how bad certain aspects of bitcoin can be. Its actually typical of Apple and the conquer the world agenda they push with each product release. Every little aspect is chewed over to bring more money into their pockets.
Was watching the news this morning and they where showing a trend right now of people setting the timer on their cell and throwing the phone in the air and it taking a photo. How many cell phones you think will break achieving this dumb trend? Now you think it was a cell phone company that started the trend! :D Title: Re: Apple Approves Two Scam-Like Bitcoin Apps Again, Due Diligence in Question Post by: bitbunnny on October 11, 2016, 04:49:31 PM That is weird, usualy Apple doesn't act so when it comes to fake and scam apps, they do their due dilligence and they don't support them. This is bad publicity for the company. If this is done on purpose they would certainly lose some clients. But what use would Apple has of that?

are pushing through their platform. We just need to keep on being vigilant and also educating people about these scams. You can also direct them to this site --> http://www.badbitcoin.org/thebadlist/ |
