The number of steps and warnings required to unlock the bootloader on an Android device is so large that I have never heard of anybody being tricked into it. On the other hand, iOS is so rife with rootable vulnerabilities that it's becoming too cheap to meter.

Replace tricked with lured. Try searching 'free vbucks apk android 6' on youtube then go to page 3 of results or click recently uploaded.

You cannot unlock your bootloader with an APK. This is the process for unlocking the bootloader: https://www.androidjungles.com/unlock-bootloader-using-fastb...

No amount of luring is going to make somebody go through that only to have their device data completely wiped as the warning clearly says.
