Re: App Name
"Sounds more like it was the game app masquerading as Google Play when she powered up."
According to the court document, it was a new handset, hence yes you are asked to enter or create a Google account etc.
In my case, I suspect the cause of my reoccurring pop-up is that on another device I installed the PayPal app and Google decided they should be linked on all my devices, even though I declined linkage on the original install. Certainly the Lookout scanner hasn't reported anything being amiss...
