For some days we have known that there is a real rush to the Cashback that is the possibility for Italians to have a refund equal to 10% of what they spend with digital payment cards . In this case, the famous ” State Cashback ” has mastered not only bar chatter but also and above all what concerns the topics on the web. But if everything seems to more or less work, what is worrying the Net is the improper download of some applications called “ State Cashback ”. which are false, paid and even useless.

Yes, because in this case many of them promise a mathematical calculation to understand how much it will actually be reimbursement by the State on purchases made. But we know well that there is no need for particularly ingenious mathematical formulas or even applications which seem programmed for scientific calculations given that the Italians who buy with registered digital payment cards, the State, will refund exactly the 10% of what was paid for up to 15 ?? for each order and 150 ?? before the end of the year. That’s all.

State Cashback: What Are Fake Apps?

Maybe there is still some confusion about the State Cashback and certainly the problems encountered in the first few days on the impossibility of registering on the portal through the official IO application, did not help to solve the difficulties. In fact, there are still those who unfortunately stumble into some unpleasant situations such as wrong applications that do not contribute to cashback at all and above all are false, paid and very useless.

Just take a look at the ranking of the most downloaded applications from the AppStore as well as from the PlayStore to understand that many are users with a smartphone who in recent days have downloaded applications such as ” State Cashback – Italy ” or ” Italian State Cashback app ” . Applications that, given the name, would seem useful and similar to that IO of State but that invce have nothing to do with the official one but were released only to ride the theme of the moment and maybe earn a few euros from the download.

In this case, in fact, both are paid: respectively to 0, 99 ?? the first and 0, 49 ?? the second. The description that we find for the two applications could actually create some problems. For the former: ” With the ‘app you can calculate in an instant how much will be returned to you by the Italian state following a purchase paid for by electronic means” . While for the second: “Calculate in a few seconds how many euros will be returned to you by the Italian state “.

As mentioned previously, however, both are really useless. Because they do nothing but calculate the 10% of expenses made in-store or to keep track of refunds which is already done the official IO application . An operation that could be performed moreover if not in mind even with a simple calculator and not paying for an application even if less than one euro.

A decidedly unpleasant situation especially in a moment of collective unease like this where Italians are worried about the health events of the pandemic and are certainly more easily distracted and can fall into these events. The advice is clearly not to download these applications since that of the official IO state outlines the cashback automatically and with precision.
