Security researchers uncovered a widespread scam campaign named “CallPhantom” consisting of 28 Android apps on Google Play that impersonated services for retrieving others’ call/SMS/WhatsApp histories but instead produced hardcoded and randomly generated fake records to trick users into paying subscriptions; the apps amassed over 7.3 million downloads, targeted users primarily in India and the Asia-Pacific region, and often pushed third-party payments or embedded card forms to evade Google refunds before being removed.
