Yes, immediate family experience they will msg ask you order from website, then will got problem, they then tell you install this app to order, once the old people install the app got some permission they will tell them to press here press there, once permission given gone case.

My case the old people realize she's been phished she wanted to go bank and stop any transaction, the scammer can even msg and say where you going, I'm controlling your phone already, your account money transfer out already, you don't believe you check see. Luckily she didn't go check, else scammer can get the bank password also. She throw the phone at home and quickly drive to bank. Luckily bank account managed to lock and no transfer made.

Moral story is


don't simply install apk other than play store then give funny permission
If kena d, don't do anything else straight to to bank, they can control phone but if no password they can't do shit

If tng probably they tried order something and scammer recorded the pin down as they can view the phone screen

No security chip...Samsung has KNOX, Google has TITAN...

Also ccp phones has more bloatwares more than the rest...

some of these bloatwares... triggers pop ups.. to install apps or games... which then triggers to install other things...

thats on the phone...
---------------------------------------
what about the rest of my questions?.. do you enable SIM PIN?... do you enable 2FA for all your major apps?...

Vivo and oppo has annoying pop ups, can't disable, especially their own store damn annoying, never buying again

Xiaomi and poco no such issue.

old ppl clicking everywhere is unavoidable. only thing u do is DONT install bank/ewallet app on the same phone they use.

and get ready to phone reset saja if anything happens there.

Just shut the phone and restart the phone with no wifi/data connection. And perform other steps to mitigate it, no?

Can't turn off, they control the phone.
