A trusted source shares details of apps used by loan sharks to trick users. The apps were targeted at users living in Africa, Latin America and Asia including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal. The security department said that they had already informed Google about 18 apps, and the tech giant has removed 17 apps. The last app is still available on the App Store because a new version of the app was released on the Play Store and does not allow the same terms and conditions as before. Android users should note that when Google removes these apps, they have to manually delete them from their phones.
