if OOTL: these scam sites have been a thing for ages and shows some bs code on your screen like its doing something and then requires “human verification”, making you enter your personal information. (and surprise, you don’t get the gems or whatever you wanted)
“But Google said this was safe!”
Google Play is so full of shit they could pivot to being a sewage plant
Haha rectum.
i really dislike google shoving their misinformation generator here because it’s the default app installer for android, and for older or tech illiterate people it’s the only app installer.
We have to do monthly “quizzes” at work pertaining to online safety, email phishing, password managers, the like. You watch a video, take a quiz, easy. Recently the videos have been AI generated, which is horrible on its own, but one of the videos we watched suggested that apps from the Play Store are always safe and can be trusted.
And then shit like this exists. Glad that Kathy in HR with 0 technical knowledge could download an app like this, and suddenly our passwords are swiped.
I remember these scams where you had to put in you phone number then reply to a text message and then you would automatically subscirbe to a contract for apps that are free anyways and not even the oddicial repo.
Also for obvous reasons it woukd not work.
Oh cool so kids can get scammed right on the Playstore!
And this shit is somehow legal
Somehow nowhere has bothered legislating the Internet. I have no idea why.
because it makes psychopaths a huge amount of money to scam the shit out of your grandma
This is a scam but there are actual mod apks or programs like lucky patcher to just buy as much as you want in game
lucky patcher is actually the reason i downloaded this game lol
but even with the free IAP I still couldn’t stomach this game for very long.
