Damn, it was released on 25th July 2020 and it already has 1,000 + downloads Shocked

What's wrong with people not being vigilant?

Not sure how many real user downloaded this fake application. But it is very possible by these type of services: ☑️ 5 STAR REVIEWS - Worldwide - Google, Facebook, Trustpilot & many others And I am pretty sure the scammer try these way to increase the downloads.

It's not new actually. we have seen it before for other familiar wallets. To reduce these scam we should be aware before downloading any wallet, also we should flag any app which is suspicious.

Make sure to check the ratings, number of downloads and the uploader on playstore before intalling it.
check the official trustwallet website https://trustwallet.com/ and click the wallets for your respective devices.

This procedure should be mandatory for anyone who cares about their safety, because as we know, Google Play is full of malicious content that is easily placed there. I agree that sometimes it is better to use a link from the official site, but you should definitely be careful that it is not a phishing site - because hackers also use this vector of attack.

If you already use mobile crypto wallets, do not store large quantities of coins in them - and never make copies of your main wallets using seed or private keys on mobile wallets - this is wrong and dangerous.

Took a small dive on the Google PlayStore and investigate.

Thankfully:

It seems like the fake version isn't being advertised/promoted(at least right now).
The fake app is appearing on the 10th spot when searching "Trust Wallet", with the original Trust Wallet on the top. Still bad, but a lot better than expected.
The fake app isn't appearing on the Similar apps and Related to this app section of the original Trust Wallet page.

With that said, yea, report that crap.

Not new ,there are many scam warning thread for those fake wallet that circulated in Google play .

You can easily see the difference with legit and fake wallet base on reviews and download, other things is its easy to make fake review if you have many email thats what I think the scammers use to have that many good review or else having a fake giveaway or paid review.

Just encountered a fake Trustwallet app recently, this wallet has been making a noise on social media, they are having a huge TWT token giveaway, I guess that is why some scammers targeting to imitate this wallet.

There is a giveaway by Binance and those scammers seems to take advantage of it and create the same promotions. This is bad, they synchronised their timeline with the real giveaway chances are those who download got fooled and tricked by this fake.

I am curious what is asking on this promotion this time?

Trust wallet hype is really huge. Their coin pumo huge so these guys dont have time to be attentive as long as they can join the free tokens event.

It's a bot farm. They also have 482 reviews, with a medium score of 4.7 stars. No way this is legit considering that this is a fake wallet. They only do that to appear legit vs the actual legit app.

Follow the guide to report the fake app on Google Play to Google. Of course, it is Google fault but we should do and contribute something to protect crypto newbies. Google do their works not good enough to prevent fake apps appear on their store. I don't know with their superb power engines why they can not detect later born apps that have names contains some words of initial apps. It is not a big challenge for them.
