Malicious app delivery goes beyond Google ads. In Singapore, most scam app installs are from social engineering, e.g. install new app to receive payment, install new app to buy something for cheap.

I’m amazed at how gullible some people are but that’s how it is.

That's not how it is, Google helps scammers and make a lot of money from it so they are responsible and should pay for it
