KerbalEssences Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hey guys, I thought to forward it here in case you haven't seen it yet (@Squad). It's an obviously fake KSP game for mobile android devices.amazon-link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YHWDNZG original Reddit-link: https://de.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/3eg852/scam_ksp_android_game/Best regards, KE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshain Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Probably someone in a foreign country where he can't be touched. If you look at his profile he is scamming a bunch of games like that. Hopefully Amazon gets it removed quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotengineer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Not surprising. Hopefully Amazon will take it down, but before that happens I hope people will read the reviews saying it is malware. I feel bad for you android users who have to deal with scams and malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClF3 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Don't count on Amazon removing it (unless perhaps if Squad files a complaint). It's been up there since late May already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a worst case scenario, but if people mistake this for a Squad product it can hurt sales of the real game. That is very damaging and it is why Trademark laws exist.
