It is funny and sad they they are not even remotely checking apps. It is paradise for bitcoin scammers: create fake wallet, put fake info about developer with some randomly generated gmail address and you are free to steal people's coins. But you brought this upon yourself really, they are many good wallets listed on bitcoin.org (for Android):Copay, Airbitz Bitcoin Wallet, Bither, Bitcoin Wallet, Hive, Mycelium, GreenAddress, Coinomi Universal Wallet, Ninki - all these apps are tested and proven safe.

in amazon app store is the only bitcoin wallet there! I think something good will came from this and will to better quality control especially for bitcoin in the future

Luckily you have been scammed only for 0.001 BTC.
that's definitely not lots of money, roughly 0.27 cents.
However it was a good idea to report this publicly.
I can see blockchain.info is now aware of the issue
as they replied to your reddit post.
Good luck with busting scammers.
They seem to be everywhere!
Some days ago I mistyped blockchain.info URL and as a result I was led to a coinbase referral link!

i give them an answer to understand the problem

Hello
Is not a big issue for me because i lost only 0.001bitcoin(0.03euro).
The big problem is the quality control for the mobile app to your store.
This guys give a bitcoin community site as their company site and a
bitcoin developer email as their email and with that fake details they
have upload a scam app to your store.
This is a big problem and i hope to resolve it asap.
I am a many year customer and i trust amazon for my order and for my money.
I think your company can handle this to not happen again.

and finally they sent me an email and they say that they have underastand that this app was a scam and will resolve this matter asap.

I understand the app "Bitcoin Wallet" is a scam and it stole your BTC from blockchain.

[chek2fire]

careful also against with phishing, a lot of incoming email on behalf blockchain

Doesn't Amazon vet their vendors? That's ridiculous.

So the guys software, the "wallet" you downloaded, it came ready to use, with private keys, that Bitcoin.developer also possesses?

Is that how it worked? Or do you think it just took every deposit and sends it to Bitcoin.developer's mixer?

No offence OP but that scam is beautiful in its simplicity

i think they have take the open source of the blockchain.info wallet and they have create a new scam wallet

because it is for free 

coins are not safe on a phone from an average joe. they will be hacked.

Why are you suprised? Millions of people are using 123456 as their main password or words like: sex, password, letmein etc. Scammy bitcoin apps are the holy ground of the evildoers.
When you can steal people's btc with ease without problems with fake wallets and apps it is only natural that more malware like that will be created. Nothing can replace common sense and sane brain.

If you see this programme and your common sense will think that this is original

After broad agreement that blockchain.info is one of the best if not the best online wallet - suddenly the recent couple of weeks we have horror story after horror story and people saying they have closed their account there etc..

I wonder if some competitor(s) wallet(s) are targeting blockchain.info and trying to capture customers...??

i wouldn't say best Blockchain lost 17 BTC of mine last December after that Joehoe hack they was supposed to pay everyone back that lost coins and the idiot support staff asked for my wallet id and password over support ticket and someone messaged support acting as me and got my refund  6k  i lost

I used the blockchain wallet since I started with bitcoins more than a year ago. They email you for authorisation when a unknown computer wants to access your wallet. I have about 0.5 btc on there for a long time and it's still in my wallet. I think they are safe if you access your wallet securely.

  Not really   in the exact words of a Blockchain email  Confirmation Required
An attempt has been made to login to your My wallet account from ip address 80.243.180.98. Enter the confirmation code below to access your account. If it was not you who made this login attempt you can ignore this email.   This ip address took me for 17 Bitcoins as it says if not me that attempted i can ignore the email  ...   yeah right thanks Blockchain
