Somebody already lost funds with this scam!

Especially noobs: BE AWARE WHAT APPS ARE YOU DOWNLOADING FROM APPS STORE. You better ask here first if you have doubts with some app.

Thanks for sharing. This is a good reminder for all to make sure they are actually downloading legit software. Stuff like this has came up on Google Play more than once. If possible, use files from Github accounts that are cross referenced from other sources and reputable users.

Use Obtainium instead of Google Play whenever possible, as is with Blixt.

Why is Google allowing this? Do they have any interest in promoting Bitcoin scams?
