> If the app was claiming to grow a dinosaur in your backyard after you pay $400/mo would it be treated any different?
Honestly, that already sounds like a significantly better app than “Mobile protection :Clean & Security VPN”.
I do agree though. It's quite odd that something as clearly bad and misleading as this could get past the review stage even assuming timeboxed code and so forth. That would imply that it would have to do something both useful and congruent with its description during the review process, and presumably not be full of spelling mistakes and badly described features. That seems unlikely.

They are both scam apps, that take your money and give you nothing, so not sure how that is any better?
The dinosaur app doesn't hijack your internet traffic or (presumably) sell your contacts.
Yet again I learn the lesson that wry humour does not work on the internet.
