Security scans can't detect BingoMod reliably
Avoid smishing by never clicking links from unverified source - Smishing, or SMS phishing delivers a malware-laced weblink to the unsuspecting victim's device, which in this case installs the BingoMod app (version 1.5.1) under a false identity, usually spoofing the app name and icon for mobile security tools like AVG AntiVirus & Security.
