According to 9to5Mac, when you launch the app, it asks for an IP address and your device's serial number, and so far, neither Apple nor Amazon seem to have taken any action against it. If you or anyone you know is setting up a new Alexa device, be sure to steer clear of this scam.

Update 12/28/18 9:20AM ET: An Amazon spokesperson has informed Engadget that the app has been removed from the App Store.
