To unlock this supposed feature, users are asked to pay \u2014 but all they get in return is randomly generated data. ESET\u2019s investigation identified 28 such fraudulent apps, cumulatively downloaded more than 7.3 million times. As an App Defense Alliance partner, we reported our findings to Google, which removed all of the apps identified in this report from Google Play.\u00a0<\/p><p>The CallPhantom apps mainly targeted Android users in India and the broader Asia Pacific region. Many of the apps came with India\u2019s +91 country code preselected, and support UPI, a payment system used primarily in India.<\/p><p>\u201cIn November 2025, we came across a Reddit post discussing an app named Call History of Any Number, found on Google Play. Unsurprisingly, our analysis showed that the \u2018call history\u2019 data provided by this app is entirely fabricated \u2014 the app generates random phone numbers and matches them with fixed names, call times, and call durations, which were embedded directly in the code,\u201d says ESET researcher Luk\u00e1\u0161 \u0160tefanko, who uncovered the CallPhantom fraud.<\/p><p>In general, CallPhantom apps have a simple user interface and do not request any intrusive or sensitive permissions \u2014 they don\u2019t need to. Coincidentally, they do not contain any functionality capable of retrieving actual call, SMS, or WhatsApp data.<br \/>In the CallPhantom apps ESET analyzed, researchers saw three different payment methods used, two of which are in violation of Google Play\u2019s payments policy. Some of the apps relied on subscriptions via Google Play\u2019s official billing system. Others relied on payments via a third party; in some cases, payment card checkout forms were included directly in the CallPhantom apps.<\/p><p>The fees requested for the fake service differ widely across the apps. The apps also appear to offer different subscription packages, such as weekly, monthly, or yearly services, with the highest requested price sitting at US$80. For the lowest \u201csubscription tier,\u201d the average requested price was \u20ac5.<\/p><p>In general, subscriptions purchased through the official Google Play billing system can be canceled. For the 28 apps described in this blog post, existing subscriptions were canceled when the apps were removed from Google Play. In some cases, refunds for Google Play purchases are possible.<\/p><p>If the purchase was made outside of Google Play \u2014 for example, by entering payment card details inside the app or by paying via third-party services \u2014 then Google cannot cancel the subscription or issue a refund, and users have to contact their payment provider.<\/p><p>For a more details about CallPhantom, check out the latest ESET Research blog post, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/en\/eset-research\/fake-call-logs-real-payments-how-callphantom-tricks-android-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fake call logs, real payments: How CallPhantom tricks Android users<\/a>,\u201d on WeLiveSecurity.com.\u00a0Make sure to follow ESET Research on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESETresearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESETresearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">witter (today known as X)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/esetresearch.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BlueSky<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/infosec.exchange\/@ESETresearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastodon <\/a>for the latest news from ESET Research.<\/p><p class=\"align-center\"><em><strong>Examples of CallPhantom apps found on Google Play<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p class=\"align-center\"><em><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web-assets.eset.com\/fileadmin\/ESET\/INT\/OG_images\/ESET_Research\/CallPhantom_apps.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"646\" \/><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div><footer class=\"footer-notes\"><\/footer><footer class=\"footer-notes\"><\/footer>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a1b0f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"1a1b0f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"18159\" class=\"elementor elementor-18159\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73b4cd0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73b4cd0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;c4f773e&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d19c1e\" data-id=\"8d19c1e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8865cce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8865cce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>About ESET<\/strong><br \/>For 30 years, ESET\u00ae has been developing industry-leading IT security software and services for businesses and consumers worldwide.
