Scammer App - SCYLLA

How to report scammer app that no longer exist. Elderly sister met someone online introducing an app called SCYLLA (with octopus logo) to invest money. She thought everything going thru Apple App Store will be legit, she got scammed and her money is gone, and she can no longer find that person introduced her to this app.


Money is gone and it's a lesson learn for her, but can apple trace the app creator and ban & prevent them from scamming other people? Since the app no longer exist, I couldn't report it.

For issues or concerns with an app, provide your feedback to Apple Support via the Report a Problem link available on the app store page for the app involved.


For other potential recourses, you will likely want your own legal representation; a lawyer.


More generally, look for the video entitled “Line Goes Up—The Problem With NFTs” for an overview of far too much of cryptocurrency.
