Questions about this idea
- Is Spam and Scam Concerns with Apps a startup idea?

- How many people have this problem?
- 7 different people described it independently, in 7 mentions, the earliest from 21 Jul 2026 and the most recent from 02 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
