Good job Google.
Many fake applications are still there, impersonating the official one.
There are fake mobile wallets, fake crypto mining, and also sometimes fake exchanges.
Be careful.
I really appreciate the step done by Google. And I do agree that we must continue reporting the fake ones and scammers to google so they can easily ban and take down such applications.

I hope this initiative will continue because not only 8 crypto apps are fake on their platform but there's a lot more. Not only crypto-related apps but many "money-making" apps as well luring gullible people to try for the promise of earning money but ended up wasting your time for nothing. They will find out that they are now home of a lot of fake apps needed to be removed immediately in the market.

It is good that they ban apps.

Next should be those scam advertisements that are bypassing their approval. I guess that Google is enlightening us with such actions that they do like banning these apps.

I think Google play is not permitting that kind of apps who bypass your approval and of course, there's always a warning sign at first when you try to install something on your phone that you need to accept in order to use the app. Of course, they ban apps that doesn't fit for every user to use and is trying to steal data to a user(s).

I hope they did it a long time ago because such apps existed because of their help and it's their fault of allowing these fake apps. I think there are more apps out there that still existing and I hope Google play will do their work to just vanish them and never let any kind of apps that has the similar agenda when installed by the user.

Apps that Google had been banning since, are either doing false advertising to dupe some innocent people into fake unacceptable plans of mining where scammers lie to them saying that they will be giving huge returns to them for mining some value in BTC or ETH or whatever is shown as a mining alternative in the app. We recommend to stay away from such apps because they can also hack your phone and ask for ransomware once they get all your personal data.

There we go again, these news has been really annoying everytime btc starts to boom and soar fruitfully and bad news like this gone so bad.
Who cares if they ban adds about cryptocurrency? People nowadays have been educated by the system that runs in digital currency. Holders who invested their future in cryptocurrency won't turn their backs but rather fight for their independence in taking financial freedom.

Thats better that google play will not allowing that kind of application to be installed by other people just to scam. Cloud mining is just a sucks platform to earn crypto currency I already scammed with that kind of shit application, at first they will get your trust by just giving you an earning of what you invest then after that you will get hook on that scheme and you will going to add more money in your first investment to earn more but after you do it they will gone they will shut down theyre server and you will lost all of your investment.

Google needs to take more steps in banning other cryptocurrency cloud mining apps because they are just too many on Google play with so many promises that is used to entice more victims especially those persons that have no concrete knowledge in Crypto.

Commonly, they will do activities based on the reports from us. So be pleased to report any suspicious or fraudulent applications if we found. We can help Google to filter and do such banning actions.

They have caused more to the society than good making ignorant investors to loss interest in Bitcoin. The fight against these scammers that are building different apps just to steal people's data and valuables need to continue to reduce the risk of being unfortunate.

One of the main reasons for banning the above eight mining apps from the Google Play Store is that all these mining apps try to make extra profit. They cheat in the name of mining in various ways. So do not use all the above Cryptocurrency mining apps.

Please don't use this apps any more...

Well, its needed to clean PlayStore because of these fake cloud mining apps that sometimes contain some malwares or anything that can clean up your bank accounts in an instant.

Hope that Google will make more actions to these scamming and hacking apps because I know that some of these apps on playstore contain malwares. Maybe lets not fall into these kind of traps anymore. We know how to mine Bitcoin and Ethereum right and we know that cloud mining isn't profitable and mining Bitcoin and Ethereum can't be done using just a simple phone so don't install anything that is related to mining these 2 coins.

when google ban some app within the store, it's either not safe anymore because of hacking issue and etc or there's a problem in it since the very first day reason mostly feedbacks were negative and google decided to remove them.. By the way thank you for posting this information this can make people aware especially members here in bitcointalk forum.

I am surprised they only banned 8 apps since looking at the google play store you'll see a lot of shady cryptocurrency apps currently available to be downloaded. I wonder if they will make a follow-up inspection on other cryptocurrency apps(besides these "mining apps") that could potentially scam people who see the app on their site.

The fight against fraudulent apps should always remain a priority. But Google is sometimes a little late in remembering this.

this issue should have been resolved a long time ago, google needs to verify a lot if each application complies with the rules and is not some application with the purpose of stealing people's money, I hope google starts checking always so that we don't have apps like these, and of course don't be unfair to harm legitimate apps as well. Cloud mining has hundreds of scam cases and it is a very sensitive issue, there are scenarios where cloud mining is legitimate (it has data centers, mining equipment, finally it has the requirements that prove that it really is cloud mining) but the problem is always It's the same: they don't make profits and there are ponzi schemes so it's necessary that google knows about these differences and adopts rules for each case

It's good that Google Play Store removed these scam apps. The Google team could improve so that the store does not proliferate harmful applications so that users use the apps safely. We often hear about apps that don't deliver on the benefits they offer. In particular, I have no interest in this type of business, it is best to work, no matter how much you earn, the important thing is to save and reduce unnecessary expenses.

Fix your title. Change it to "Google bans 8 crypto scamming apps " and you won't be spreading FUDs. Good thing google started to ban those apps. Everyone knows that almost 99.99% of those "cloud mining" platforms are scam/ponzie schemes. The rest 0.01% cloud mining platforms might be legit, but you won't be making any profit over there.
Now google should start banning those scam advertisements and those videos promoting scam and spreading FUDs.

Well, this is one of the many reasons why I don't prefer Android Device because mostly it's filled up with trash Apps in the AppStore such as these.

iOS checks apps before allowing them to be in the app store and they're already against such apps, however, users can still install these trash apps in dev mode but a normal user wouldn't bother doing that and some tech-savvy might do it just to analyze what data trade occurs between the app and device.

Well, it seems like Google now was helping the crypto community by cleaning scam wallets like this. We know about crypto cloud mining apps that most of them are scams. That is good work from them at least they are showing support to the community which is banning and vanishing those suspectable scam apps to the system. They said before that they will filter those scam ads and apps to their system and I think this is it, we should appreciate them for their showing support. I know there are more like them not only 8 possible scam app.
