Seriously though, Google needs to be a bit more strict concerning app submission.

I doubt that they will take action of being more strict, there were a lot of reports before about fraudulent and copy cat apps that has been made but it seems they are still soft about that issue.

I mean, they really have to at some point, probably at least on the Finance category as I assume it's the category with the most fraudulent apps and it's where most damage can be inflicted upon the users. It's probably just harder to confirm if a certain bitcoin wallet is actually a scam compared to just easily removing obviously fake PayPal apps and such.

What annoys me is the baffoons allow this shit to get in but ban apps that use proof of time mining. They don't mine with the hardware you just run the app, yet people report it. People shouldn't be using crypto if they don't know whats going on. Now how long will this app be on the store for? They should do checks on financial apps.

Thanks Baofeng for the instruction. Just reported it. I thought there should be a report button in the Play store. It's a bit difficult for regular users to report apps if they follow the given procedure. Let's hope they'll take it down soon.

Good find. It's funny how this fraudulent wallet is claiming to be a bitcoin full node(via app description), but the app has BitcoinCash and Ethereum support lmao.

Just tick on the reason, I tick on Unlawful activities. and then on the "Please explain briefly why you flagged the app". I say that this is a fake wallet and a scam. And then tick "Yes" Is the application still available on Google Play?" and then put the link that I provided above (just replace the [dot] with .. And then you will see this message "Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your bringing this to our attention.".

Most of BTC wallet in Google Play is fake. So, if you want download BTC wallet better you find in their website then click link redirected to Google Play.
Like a Blockchain, you can find here https://www.blockchain.com/id/wallet.
Then click download on Google Play then this will redirect to Google Play.

It's also worth noting that Bitcoin Core does not have a mobile version. Anything that claims to be is fake, and will almost certainly steal your coins and/or infect you with something.

If you're in the market for a mobile wallet, you may as well go for established ones, or at the very least take the time to research more obscure ones.

Thanks for noticing this, I already reported it to the Google Playstore.

Please help me to report the android app on Google Playstore, it's easy to report if you are on your Google Playstore app. This app should be taken down as soon as possible.

There seems to be a fake BTC core - BTC wallet in Google Play.

Code:

FAKE Wallet - https://play[dot]google[dot]com/store/apps/details?id=com.corelinkbtc

So don't download this app as I'm sure they're going to steal your precious BTC. And as far as I know, core hasn't released any android wallet version (correct me if I'm wrong), so obviously this is fake.
