"Welcome Agent.

A team of field operatives is currently on-site in enemy territory, working to retrieve intel on an imminent terrorist attack.

The intel is contained in a safe, the plans for which are available to authorized clients via an app [0].

Our client ID is d09ff4ec651c48f89f7f7aa19160bd55

Your mission is to retrieve those plans, and allow our team to break into the safe.

Good luck!,

If you're dumb enough to do that... maybe they blacklist you from their recruitment efforts moving forward.

You could always install it on a virtual phone in a sandboxed VM.

I couldn't even get to refusing to trust an apk because their message doesn't render if you have a JS whitelisting extension such as NoScript.
