### 5/5 — A SCAM!!!!

*2025-11-28*

This App advertised in the Apple App Store for 2.99, but you are charged $31.52.   Check your Apple Card, Apple Account, or your Credit Card.  Another App did the same thing a week ago.  This appears to be a trending scam, so be aware of it, and REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY!!!  I love learning Chinese, and now after living in China for 15 years/as an English Teacher.  I am totally disappointed.  Why, because all of the people I met in China were honest, good people.  Either this App was developed by a non-Chinese person, in order to encourage us to hate Chinese people, or it was some kind of mistake, in which case, I sincerely hope that the developer will reach out to me and fix this.  If this Developer contacts me, I will excuse what happened, otherwise, I will do everything I can to expose this person.  I truly hope that I am wrong.  Poor people hate to get scammed!
