I don't know anything about the scam, but I find iAlien crashes all the bloody time on my iPad. The nagging "leave a review" notification has never endeared me to it either. I'd be curious to hear more about the scam, if you have a source on hand. |

Originally I was looking for a reddit mobile app and tried Alien Blue and iAlien, not the "pro" version of either, but I chose iAlien, used the trial for a bit, then bought the pro version.
At some point there was an "upgrade" link inside the app that pointed to a new, renamed app with an explanation that "someone" had asked Apple to pull the original iAlien app (based on the name? going from memory here) so the developer released the app under a new name, but, of course, anyone who had purchased iAlien pro would have to re-buy the new app.
A comment either under the original iAlien or under the new name claimed that the developer had pulled this before. So I was reluctant to buy the new app thinking that this might be an endless cycle.
Instead, I purchased Alien Blue pro and have been happy since with it. So happy that I can't remember why I originally chose iAlien in the first place. I could have been more features in the trial for all I know at this point.
I'll try and see if I can reconstruct what I originally went through with links, but if anyone disputes what I'm saying, you can down vote me, but please explain or clarify, I'd really appreciate it and it will probably spur an interesting dialog.
EDIT: here are a couple links that I remember reading and changing my mind about iAlien and switching to Alien Blue:
