These are FRAUD takedowns. FRAUD is not done through UTB nor through App Review.
But, agreed, these apps are all misleading, have always been misleading. and there's no way the
reviewers actually checked to see if the app did what it said it did. This means we are not truly
checking for core functionality, are we?

getting approved. This is not a problem with these two reviewers, it is with the entire review
team thinking that these types of apps are OK. They are not
Adding these devs to the watchlist, when they're geting removed from the program is
unnecessary. Rather, we need to keep an eye out for these types of apps. If we continue fo let
these into the store, we continue to have problems with the review team.
