    Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to police it unless Apple begin targeting it themselves by setting up 'stings', but I can't see that happening.

    Ultimately, if they wanna spend money on fake reviews, so be it. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll get more sales, and it certainly doesnt result in their app getting into the charts.

    But if a customer buys an app and it's not as described, they should know they can contact iTunes and get a refund. —Always make sure to exercise that right, or you'll get ripped off.

    In my opinion, you don't have to do that! Those cheat is not gonna work if the game is not great. Right now there're only 2 reasons remaining for a title being success:

    1. Decent game (which people are addicted & willing to recommend to his friend)
    2. A well marketing plan plus lot of luck.

    If a developer can buy their game a lot then saying that their game is good, it's probably only their call and nobody care. Do we see a success story by this cheat action yet? No, so, calm down my man. :)
