"Be careful with pokemon go knock off games! Found this one on my facebook feed. It steals your information when you play it, and after a few days it will no longer work. Do not become a victim of identity theft!"

#PokemonGO: An ad popped up on my facebook feed for this app. The video looked interesting, and i knew that it was to good to be true. Upon investigating i learned that this game is used to data mine unsuspecting people and steals their information. This is the game hereThis is the add that came up on my facebook the first thing that stood out to me was the title. It is randomly selected with words that make it easier to find by searchingI decided that id read some of the comments, and suprisingly every comment said the exact same thing. The game worked fine for a few days, then stopped no matter what happened. this lead me to click the instal button to see exactly what kind of permissions you needed to give the game. And sure enough, this is what the app asks forDo not be fooled by apps like this and be very careful. These types of games are parasites on the community, and prey on people who enjoy pokemon. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2Ad6I08
