Previously, I had reported these two apps, (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/718992 ) and now again.
These two apps are using spamming strategies and tries to exploit App Store leaks on their marketing. These two apps are exactly same as each other, and it has been creating by one creator, With Different name, But even the seller name has same pattern, Both has TOV expression at the end, It is obviously shown these two apps which are exactly same as each other, has one Creator.
Seller: SKOL LTD, TOV
Seller: KHELP TIM, TOV
Recently Appstore took an action against a leak of the Appstore and those creators who used the word "Good" in the title of their App Event or name of the app, Now if you look at these two apps details, The footprint of these two apps are shown in the reported leak of Appstore for App Event. They use the word "Good" in the App Event title and another one in the name of the app, And these two apps are those who was abusing that leak of Appstore and tried to use robots on their spamming purposes, You can read more at this link,

You should take an action against the developers whom are making these kinds of fake and spam activities. According to the provided description, and the Appstore Guidelines ( Available in the mentioned link) The activities of these apps are against the guidelines and you should take a serious action against these apps and their marketing strategies .
App Store Review Guidelines :

4.3 Spam Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program.
4.1 Copycats Come up with your own ideas. We know you have them, so make yours come to life. Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers.
