For those who are not as savy as the author of this blog (great stuff btw) one thing you can do is when you are on the “grant permission” page for an app, click on the app’s name – this leads you to the page for the app, where you can see what other people are saying, how many monthly users they have etc.

If the page seems fishy or there are comments complaining that it’s spam, you know not to grant permission to that app.

Keep in mind though that the scam might be done by affiliates, and the CPA company might actually be good. I don’t think CPAleads is a scam company for instance.

Facebook is really getting bad about their phishing and fake apps.
