If you've encountered any mobile ads over the past few months, you'll have seen services like Freecash — apps that promise real money (or gift cards) for playing games on your phone. Claims like that are immediately a red flag, and the fact that they explicitly say that "it's not a scam" only draws more suspicious.
Well, it turns out I was right to be skeptical. Not only has Freecash garnered a reputation for deceptive marketing, but Apple has also just pulled it from the App Store for harvesting user data. So remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
