Mother's Day is still a few weeks away, but apparently Google wants to make sure you don't forget to get something for your mum, because it has launched its Google Play Mother's Day promotions today.

Bolstered by a number of five-star reviews, 30,000 paid subscribers had signed up after one week. As it turns out, all of these people were scammed.
