I hear about a ton of similar-sounding scam calls, where the scammer is pretending to be from a service you use (or used), offering you a substantial monthly discount (30% or more) if you pay some fee ahead of time.

Given that over 60% of web traffic is now mobile, this form of phishing-driven credential reuse has become one of the top blind spots in mobile fraud defense. Yet most mobile security tools can’t detect it — because they don’t know where those credentials came from.
