“But Vaca’s lawsuit alleges Google took three months to remove the app from the Play Store.”
Maria Vaca put about $4.6 million into Yobit Pro, a crypto app from the Play Store, and watched it show a $7 million balance. Withdrawing required $500,000 in “taxes,” then $2 million more. The CFPB forwarded her complaint to Google the same day. Google sued developers over 87 fraudulent apps in April, so it knows the scam, and it still left this one up for three months.
