This was only an unconfirmed claim by a single user in early May 2016. More information is needed:
|
|
|
|
1. Find out if the official, legal Google Play store was being used (as per MineYoshi's guesses)
|
|
2. If this "Google Play store" was counterfeit, or the app was obtained from a third-party app store like Aptoide (as per MineYoshi's
|
|
guesses)
|
|
3. Find out if there was a counterfeit "Minecraft" app which was taken down by the Minecraft trademark holders in May 2016 or later.
|
|
4. Find out if this counterfeit "Minecraft" ever existed at all. The user stated it was called "Minecraft" and not Minetest, even after
|
|
being given the names of possible Minetest clones. However, it may have been confusion on part of the user, both times they were asked.
|
|
|
|
Possible solutions:
|
|
|
|
1. If the app is proven to exist, report the counterfeit software to the Minecraft trademark holders.
|
|
2. If the app is proven to exist, ask Google about possible transactions related to the app, including purchases of its "full version".
|
|
3. Continue to encourage users, especially mobile users who are most affected by these scams, to download the
|
|
official Minetest clients on minetest.net.
