The falsely advertised game, "Minecraft: Pocket Edition 2," has now been taken down from Apple's App Store after video game developer Mojang released a statement saying that they will take the scam IP down, said the company on their email to Eurogamer.

"It's great that 'Minecraft' has inspired people to create amazing things, but when a product attempts to dupe our community or exploit their enthusiasm for the game, it's our responsibility to step in," Mojang's Director of Creative Communications Owen Hill wrote on the statement. "Our dedicated enforcement team are extremely busy!"

Because of the name, the scam sequel had managed to reach the fourth spot in the highest rated paid games in iOS during its peak, according to the post made on r/Games on Reddit. However, it was clear from the beginning that the sequel was actually unofficial as it was not created by the company, and was developed by someone who goes by the name of Scott Cawthorn, which is a take on the creator of the popular horror game "Five Nights at Freddy's" Scott Cawthon, which also happens to have a rip-off made by the same guy.

However, though, as detailed on Eurogamer, the game was actually credited to a guy named Viktor Todorov. Furthermore, the "Minecraft: Pocket Edition 2" was not actually based on the "Minecraft" franchise but surprisingly, was a totally different game.

According to GameSpot, the creator of the scam app even used the official trailer for the "Minecraft: Pocket Edition" to promote the game on Apple's App Store as well as its description.

As for the content of this falsely advertised app, Eurogamer went into detail explaining that it was a top-down swiping game that features Scorpion from "Mortal Kombat" fighting off zombies. The app was, in fact, so terrible that it even crashed the iPhone of the author.

So with all that said, it is highly advisable for fans to double check the Apps that they are about to buy before making any decisions to avoid being scammed in the future.
