Wow, that was a wild report and a good read. The detailed look into the predatory short term load apps is a real eye-opener... the apps would read the device contact list and shame late borrowers to their employer, parents, friends... and in developing places like Kenya and Nigeria. Truly, TRULY fucked up!

It appears only OPesa was taken down so far from Google Play. OKash, OPay and CashBean are still available. CashBean's keyword stuffed app ID [1] is remarkable, this is the first time I've seen such a spammy app ID on Google Play.
