The full name of the app was “Call Blaze and the monster machines 2018” the picture looked super fake, the app had a TON of ads based on what I’ve seen. Any smart adult would have seen that it was sketchy.
Obviously, if it was an accident, like if your child downloaded it without the parent knowing, that’s different because kids can’t tell if that’s real or not. They just see a character they like and download it. (Parents shouldn’t be allowing young kids to download stuff without checking first)
But, one parent commented (and this is quoted straight from the article, ”“I’m so happy you shared this, I nearly downloaded that for [my son] it’s absolutely vile I would report it.”
WHY WOULD YOU DOWNLOAD AN APP THAT IS CLEARLY FAKE!!!
The app had a rating as 2.5* and when I googled the name, This is what came up as a description for the app (I can’t get the whole description as it has been taken down, this is only the google webpage summary)
” call Blaze and the Monster Machines 2018. This app is a fake call from the monster machines games, you will receive a fake call from blaze monster truck. Install fake call from blaze monster truck machines and start the call now . blaze and the monster machines games download new calling app, surprise…”
Like… That seems so sketchy and either a virus, or a BS app to me.. Plus, when I searched blaze and the monster machines, many legitimate apps showed up (as in, a certified apps) first. I’ve heard that this app was hard to find.
