Fake Spotify App Appears In Windows Phone Marketplace


By

Spotify is already available as a free app for Windows Phone devices from the Windows Phone Marketplace, and now it would seen that a developer called khanmish has managed to sneak a Spotify app into the Windows Phone Marketplace and is charging for the application.

The fake Spotify app is being sold for $9.99 or £0.79 through the Windows Phone Marketplace, and for your $0.99 all you get is some music news feeds, so basically the app is a complete scam.
