Short version:
Don't trust any Entropia-focused phone app unless it's made by Mindark themselves. Any other may be trying to Phish for account passwords.
Long Version:
So I decided to search the app store on my Windows Phone for "Entropia" and found something suspicious.
The app "EU" made by Pixelvr. In fairness to the maker, it looks like they've made a number of other non-related apps, so not sure how/why they suddenly decided to make this one. They seem to have no connection to MA at all.
In the screenshots, the first pic shows the login for MA's website wrapped in a skin. Then it shows the inventory pages, then some basic TT/markup/profit calc.
In my eyes, it seems too easy for this app to have been made just to record & steal name/password/GC#s.
Sorry to the maker, but I have to publicly remind folks that it's best to ONLY trust company-specific apps that come only from that specific company.
