“Mobile Protection: Clean & Security VPN” seemed to promise to keep iPhone owners’ phones clean, secure, and, I suppose, protected. All of those sound pretty good, which is why 50,000 people downloaded the app, and at least 200 people signed up for its weekly subscription service.
In reality, it scammed people at the horrendous rate of $400/month.
And, left unchecked, would have earned its unscrupulous developer almost $1,000,000 this year.
