Description
If you see "digitalizze" or "Astronomicdevelopment Inc." on ANY app you try to download, STOP IMMEDIATELY and DO NOT PROCEED. If it's too late and you did... look for a charge on your account from ASTROSTRS.COM and if you see a pending charge you need to report your card is lost or stolen to close that account unfortunately. I tried to download the “Group” Telegram app called Group for Telegram. It’s a scam! Looks legit with the similar icon, but it’s NOT affiliated with the original Telegram app (which is the one I was looking to install). The icon was similar to the Telegram app. To register for an account it required entering my credit card info, even though there was no charge, there were amounts listed under fine print to be charged at a latter date. I had to go into my bank account and report that card stolen and now have to figure out how to cancel that subscription. The app somehow created a NEW gmail account using my first initial last name as well. The reason how I know this is because I tried to log back into the account to get more info and it saved a gmail as my username. I didn't recognize the gmail as my own so I tried to go into that new gmail account and recover it using the forget password option. I saw that the phone number affiliated with that new gmail account ended in the numbers 97 but my phone number does NOT end in 97 so I knew then that I didn't create that gmail but someone else did. My last name is not a common one. I found nothing under the new gmail account either and I hopefully never will. ??

App called Group for Telegram but had pop ups for digitalizze for a company called Astronomicdevelopment Inc. and it created a new gmail for me under a different phone number ending in 97? It says it's a free service but has charges in fine print after a period of time and asks for Credit Card information as well.
