Frauds on the asset store

[tharindu]

A very sour experience I had to face today. I am sharing this with you guys mostly because those who come here are new to Unity. 

You need to be careful enough to weed out the fake assets and fake publishers. Sometimes I even fail to practice what I preach and this is one such situation.

I am sharing this with the hopes that you will assist me to raise awareness of this on the unity forums. It's not about having spent 30 bucks on this.


It's that asset store assets shouldn't go to this level of fraud and plagiarism.

original www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/7676

based on an older version:
www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/24395

and by based I mean it looks 100% like an earlier version I used to use, just with different colours, but the tank is the same and the methods/weapons look the same.
