Fake/Ripoff version in Windows Store

Post by xIntenso »

Hi Rednoah!

I wasn't quite sure where to put this topic, but I hope here is okay.
I was redownloading FileBot from the Microsoft Store, and noticed that there was a fake version that looked suspiciously like the FileBot GUI, with even the same name.
It is slightly different, but it seems to me like an attempt to rip off people looking for the real deal.

I've added a screenshot for your information:

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't really moderate the Microsoft Store. I've reported this fake app (and all the other fake apps published by the same author) to Microsoft multiple times and got no response.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

That is too bad, but not entirely unexpected (we're talking about the MS Store after all, remember Windows phones anyone?).
I've reported it as well, hope that it helps, but probably not.
