fraudulent app?

[bwanaaa]

I recently downloaded 'Cell phone Tracker Pro' that claims to track down the location of any cell phone based on the gps signal. Stupid me. sounded too good to be true. I thought it would allow me to keep tabs on my teenagers.

Turns out any phone number i put in appears on a map in the ocean just off the coast of nigeria. Is this a new way that the nigerians are scamming us? Making fraudulent apps? I should have known better, it is published by the 'Federal Bureau of Apps'. How can we let Apple know to check this one out?

if your family all has iphones, blackberries, or android phones, recent versions of google maps support latitude, which you can use to track (albeit not in 100% real time) your friends/family.

android versions will track in the background, while iphone and blackberry versions will update every time the user opens the maps app.

Give this one a try. It is supposedly the top rated tracker - free trial.

Well, if you actually read the description instead of buying because you THINK it works a certain way, then you would have either purchased it knowing full well it's fake for you to trick people or you wouldn't have purchased it at all.

Good job being a blind consumer. People like you are wrecking the rating system on apps because you don't look at what you're buying, then rate it poorly because it's not what you expected.

This is why Apple locks down it's store.

This is an app on the Apple App store. I saw it on the What's Hot list the other day. I read the description and decided not to buy it because I didn't think it was worth $0.99.
