A word to those wise enough:
Good thing to stay away from, anything running android. One of their
apps, Samsung-Pay who apparently wants to be a paypal, is who phished me
on my landline 3 weeks ago, forceing me to stop that card and get a new

of the card! Fortunately, I was quick enough they didn't get anything.
