This is awesome news for scammers:

1. Fake page will say “you need to scan this qr code to verify you’re human”
2. Users normally dismisses this shit, but it has become normal nowadays, take out the phone to scan it
3. Qr code opens a page on totallynotascam.com that say “you need to install this totally safe APK on your device for verification 😉”
4. APK passes the new useless developer “verification” as the scammer either used a hacked dev account or just paid $25 with a stolen id + stolen credit card
5. User see the message “APK verified by Google play protect” and would totally believe the bullshit, giving all the possible permissions to the app
