### 1/5 — Beware of scam

*2026-02-03*

My elderly mother was a victim of predatory apps. She lost thousands of dollars to this and similar apps — and all of her photos. Even after her photos and files were lost, she still received messages for “cleaning” apps. The names and icons are so similar that she didn’t realize she had signed up for so many subscriptions. She had no content to manage, but they kept charging her. She lost thousands of dollars— these apps are a scam.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-10-18*

Not good keep getting told I have all these viruses and I’ve been hacked. I’ve spent all kinds of money to fix it. They scan tell me it’s good. I back out and immediately I get message saying I been hacked . I’ve done what I can on this end don’t understand what’s going one. Ready to throw away my phone if I going to deal with everyone I look for something.
