Google suspends online gaming trial on Play Store citing lack of regulationsOne user on X, while replying to Cuban's post, suggested that the incident may have occurred due to a spoofed sim, which was set to a false Google number. They wrote, "Seems more likely that someone called you via a spoofed sim set to "650-203-0000", in which case Google was not even in the loop at all for this attack, you just got phished."Some more users questioned Google's role in the whole incident given that the SIM card may have been spoofed.
