Someone needs to report the scam and then wait for Apple to do their review. If nobody reports it, the scammer makes a lot of money till that time.

There does seem to be some opportunity to inject common sense in there though. How common, for example, is a $100/week in-app purchase? Seems like there's some threshold that should kick off a review automatically.

  • Yes, that. This is not a difficult problem. App purchase behavior that is more than a couple of standard deviations away from ordinary, but successful, apps should trigger a heavy human review.
