Hilarious. I don't think i have never seen or gotten a scam app (not including games, which I don't use) as the top result on Google Play.

In fact, I just used all your searches on Google play and got

- my bank

- the train company app

- my broker

- hmrc

The next 4 or 5 in each case were also legit. Maybe this is really something to be aware of if switching to apple? Certainly would not have been something I would have been expecting from apple (though I am pretty careful about vetting apps).

I think the poster here meant an ad over the search results rather than the actual first result. The ads have a different highlight and a badge that says "ad" ... I just tried the same categories and all of the top results were the official app. The next few were mostly apps from the same developer as well. I don't know that I would call ads that are clearly labeled as ads a "scam" even if they are unwanted
