What's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back
Well today's video is gonna be a bit different in today's video we are going to be talking about
Fortnite for android so this game it is insanely popular and it's available on a lot of
platforms you can play it on a playstation you can play it on an xbox on a computer and lately can even play it on
An iphone or ipad so it's available on ios but the one place where this game it's not
Available its android so there are a lot of people that use android devices and definitely a lot of people that want to play this
Game and there is this huge scam that's going around for a couple of weeks
regarding got a fortnite for android
So if you do a quick search on google or on youtube you're going
To find a lot of videos that show you how to install
four-night for android two of those videos are fairly popular one of them has about 2.2 million views and the other one has about
900,000 views so definitely a lot of people that are searching how to install fortnite for android so all the videos that i walk through
The exact same thing go to this website and it's always the exact same website that they show and this is not the official website
form this game developer go to that website
Install the apk version of that game and then no video shows up the game actually playing so everybody just shows how to install the
Game, so it's very curious
To see why why is this?
Happening so i went ahead and installed the game on a couple of android devices i mostly wanted to see if there is any difference
In not between installing it on a more powerful device and on a slower device but there is no
Difference so the first thing i've noticed is the fact that the game is fairly small it only has about
44 megabytes but the original game will probably have somewhere around one or two gigs?
so definitely not a real game so i figured this app must have some type of adware or
Try to steal some information from your phone so installed an anti-virus app and i scan that app
To see if there is anything like that but there was nothing the app was clean i went ahead and opened the game and the game
starts loading and then it starts downloading
something but in reality it's not actually
Downloading something because of the size of the app never changes so the app stays at the exact same size over the forty four megabytes
that we had at the beginning just before you start playing the game you're gonna get a pop up in that pop up
We'll say that you have to do a mobile verification
You press ok
And some sketchy website will open end up on that website you supposedly have to download an app
so you can verify and that purchase or whatever now you can download those apps and those apps are actually
legit apps from the google play store and you can install them and play and play them and you're supposed to play them for about
30 seconds and so the verification it's done
Now after you play those games and install them nothing happens so you go back
To the app and nothing happens it's just a black screen you have to close the app and start it again
And if you start it again you get to the same pop-up
And you have to do the same thing over and over and over now if you check the url from that website that and opens
you know notice that the url has an affiliate link in there and basically that affiliate link tracks how many downloads were done to that
Particular link so why is this important you are probably wondering well in the past i was approached by app
developers and they are willing to pay up to
$1.00 per download to promote their app or game now i've never done that but a lot of people do that because
They can gain a lot of money from it so whoever made that
website and that fake app probably made a lot of money that probably still making a lot of money because a lot of people are
downloading those apps and hoping that they can play the game
So every time someone downloads one of those apps that person makes money and that's free money by
scamming that person that downloads the app and free money because they are scamming those
Companies that are trying to get their apps promoted so there you have it this is the real reason why all those videos exist
because somebody's making a lot of money and that somebody's probably paying all these youtubers to make those videos on how to install on
fortnite for android alright guys hopefully this video was useful
Um if you did like it share it with everyone because these people are just making
So much money for no reason and a lot of people are just getting
scammed into installing those apps on their phones for no reason and once again those companies are getting scammed
by thinking they're promoting their own apps but they're not in reality
alright guys hopefully enjoy this video if you did like it press that like button don't forget subscribe
And i'll see in the next one thanks for watching
