Microsoft Word 2012 appears in iOS App Store, but you don't want to buy it

Not unless you'd like to waste $9.99 and feel the fool for it.
That's because Microsoft isn't the developer, but Super Racing Real Games. Well, there's nothing real about this app and the only "super racing" is to get your money before the app disappears, because it can't be long on the App Store. Surely Microsoft will issue a take-down notice -- if for no other reason. But Microsoft Word 2012's appearance in the App Store makes me wonder about Apple's so-called rigorous approval process. The company rejects legit apps but lets this through?
The app popped up on the App Store yesterday, and my astute colleague Eddie Elmore spotted the, ah, fake today. The developer's other apps include Real Robot Attack, Slide Customizer and File Manager.
