The Android maker said it&#8217;s trying to clean out the Play Store and promote an environment where users post constructive feedback instead of spam.<\/p>\n<p>The company may be in for a long fight. With just a cursory search, anyone can find tens of sites that are currently offering Play Store reviews and ratings for small sums of money.<\/p>\n<p>These sites aren&#8217;t human-powered review farms. Most are just front businesses for Android botnets. Cyber-criminals infect Android phones with malware, and then use the malware as a bot to rate apps, place reviews, or install apps on demand (part of pay-per-install marketing schemes).<\/p>\n<p><span
