And what i have for you today is an app that says they’ve locked my phone. Now ofc, as you can see, this is clearly a scam, observable through the messy language and the claim that 500$ is enough to get you off an accusation of treason. Now, I’ll show you how this can be opened quite easily, and how rudimentary this is a lock. If you press the home button it’s already enough to let you see that this is merely a crappy app running on your phone, potentially installed instead of a desired piece of software (in my case it was a calculator app) and as such, it’s easy to get rid of it and there’s nothing to fear. You can also merely close the app and remove all background processes related to it quite easily. Thanks for watching and have a nice day
Definitely by master lock smh
but what if it was a fluke
I’m going to reinstall and remove it again to prove you it was not a fluke.
taps a few times on the screen
shows app installing
shows fake lock screen
opens list of running apps
nothing on one, nothing on two, a fake app on three…
closes and uninstalls the app
Done! That’s everything I had for you today,…
Thanks for watching and have a nice day
Have you priced a Fluke lately? Things must be made with gold…
