A clever Gumtree scam

Description

This is one of the most sophisticated phishing scams I have ever seen. The people behind this one are not your average cyber criminals. I hope you find it interesting.

*UPDATE* Apparently, the app was created by a Russian scammer by the name Evgeny Semenak, It targets Russians, Chinese & English. The app it seems, checks for several banking apps on your device and, no doubt, steals lots of personal and bank data. DO NOT RUN THIS APP ON YOUR PHONE.

Harry Frey has created a github repository for the disassembled sources and lots of other background information... thank you Harry:
