Warning As Google Play ‘Call History For Any Number’ Scam Cons Millions

Google removed 28 Android apps tied to CallPhantom after ESET found they falsely promised access to call logs, SMS, and WhatsApp history.

The scam reportedly pulled in about 7.3 million downloads, showing how deceptive Play Store listings can exploit curiosity at scale.

The apps relied on subscription fraud rather than malware, raising consumer protection and refund concerns for affected users.
