overview for forrgott

I just found a very sus app on google play called "SMS Virtual". It's a blatant phishing app to get end users to send their OTP security codes through the developers network. Apparently, this a useful free service for an idiot, cause those OTP messages are just so annoying.

Anyway, I tracked down the form on the web for reporting developers for violations, but I'd be hopelessly naive to expect Google to give two shits.

So, my question is simply this: what can the community do about something like this? It feels pretty hopeless, but before I give up just wanted to ask for any suggestions. Just really creeped me out when I realized the purpose of the app.

My apologies if this not comm appropriate; if I'm violating the rules, I won't hesitate to remove. Just didn't know where to start...

I couldn't help bit notice the word "racislist", which I've never heard of. But sounds like a desperate attempt to counter the fact that that idiot is obviously racist. "No u!" - basically.

Edit: fucking stupid - looked it up, and it's just a synonym for racist.

It's their way of enacting what would otherwise be unconstitutional laws. Totally bullshit, because it let's people sue violators without having to actually prove the so called victims actually suffered any harm; but given that these lawsuits are from other citizens, not the government, somehow that's just peachy and totally OK.

This is all in spite of the fact that these laws setup enforcement of policies that fly in the face of the Constitution.

And a good thing they drew it in, then labeled it as irrelevant, too! Can you imagine how confusing the diagram would be otherwise!?

Any company offering digital services with a blanket can on refunding a recruiting charge should raise warning bells. This is the shake, and frankly insulting, response I got from their customer service:

That's a terrible policy, but frankly, I expect nothing better from a company such as yours.

Goodbye and good riddance!!!
