Claiming Google waited three months to delete a fake crypto app targeted at least six people and stole $5 million from her, a Florida lady has sued the internet behemoth.
Alleging Google made “false and misleading representations” regarding the “authenticity, safety, and security” of programs accessible on its app store, Maria Vaca filed the case in the California Superior Court of Santa Clara County on August 13. The lawsuit wants to recoup the $5 million Vaca alleges she lost using an app called Yobit Pro, which seemed to be a crypto wallet but was really managed by cyber criminals.
Vaca said she put $4.6 million into Yobit Pro between February and July of last year. The app insisted on an extra $500,000 for “taxes” when she tried to take out her money—which had apparently increased to $7 million. Yobit Pro stated she needed to pay another $2 million for “verification,” which she declined, after forwarding the additional money. Vaca said she got threatening communications from unknown cyber thieves demanding further money after her denial.
According to the lawsuit, Vaca told the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) about her experience; Google received the complaint that same day. Google took action, however, roughly three months later, during which at least five others apparently had similar experiences with the app.
In a connected action, Google sued two people in April alleging they distributed and promoted dangerous and false crypto applications.
