It is not always about people being too lazy, that issue can happen to anyone irrespective of how much careful you think you are. You should know that scamming is so sophisticated now that you will rarely know the difference between the original and the fake. Nevertheless, I understand and agree with you that if one could just put in the basic precautions such as downloading apps from the right source and being cautions of links they visit, most of these things will be reduced.
I do understand your point here since even I do this kind of lazy mistake if happened by the time when I’m already tired. I sometimes skip checking and rely on as is.
But downloading app is different since I never download an app that involved money except exchange or banking app since all of them are registered and licensed unlike random casino app which I believe not allowed on playstore.
