๐ŸšจAttention BTC enthusiasts!๐Ÿšจ Google is taking a stand against crypto fraudsters! The tech giant recently filed a lawsuit against two developers, Yunfeng Sun and Hongnam Cheung, for uploading nearly 90 fraudulent crypto investment apps on Google Play. These apps were used to scam around 100,000 users, despite Google's previous attempts to remove such apps. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

The duo reportedly used deceptive tactics to trick investors into downloading their bogus apps. One such app, a so-called crypto exchange named TionRT, was promoted as legitimate but was later revealed as a scam when users were unable to withdraw their funds. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ’ฐ

The fraudsters also used online videos and affiliate marketing programs to convince investors of the apps' authenticity, promising high returns that Google described as "illusory." ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ธ

The scammers have been operating since 2019, uploading about 87 apps on Google Play. While Google managed to remove some, the fraudsters found ways to upload new ones under different aliases. ๐Ÿ˜ก

The lawsuit noted that victims' financial losses ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. Google itself also suffered financial damage of more than $75,000 used to investigate the breach and remedy the damage. ๐Ÿ˜ค

Google is now seeking a permanent injunction on Sun, Cheung, and their associates to prevent them from accessing Google services or using the company's products to promote any website, app, or product. Let's hope this serves as a wake-up call for all crypto enthusiasts to stay vigilant! ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ•
