....makes me wonder how can google allow this scam to be on top?
It's not the first scam app that slipped through Google Play's "security".
It seems the app is still active there with over 10K downloads. Have you tried asking the support to take down the app? You could help others from experiencing the same scam if you could report what happened to you.
yeah i did. i think it was running fine until latest update one week ago.
