Very similar UI and I bet the same cyber actors behind this recent Jaxx attacks.

Creating websites with similar name to the original and then distributing it to social media like Twitter and Youtube.

People should be careful while making use of Google playstore for app download, not even only google but all other app sites. It is even advisable to never use app stores for app download because fake apps that resemble or mimic the app to download can be on the app store and be the one to be downloaded mistakenly. This is not surprising anymore, but it is still worth mentioning this here immediately such are detected so it can be reported by many people in order for the app to be taken down. Anyone making use of app store like google playstore can make the mistake of downloading fake apps.

With the vast range of malicious applications in that platform, users should realize the importance of cognizant. Assessing the reviews and description is incapable to manifest the credibility of an application as it can be easily manipulated and copied from the official source. Thus, instead of downloading from the Google play store, we should follow this guide to prevent the victimization of fake applications.
[1] Officially visit websites & download apps, not fake ones. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5259689.0)

Honestly, it is a major concern because people are handling their data into these applications and it could lead to threats of data theft. Regardless, we should report it and see how they will resolve the issue.

That's why it's advisable not to go directly to play store and search the name of the app to be downloaded, it's a risky activity. A simple searching of the website, follow up by clicking on the app link found on the website which will redirectly lands you on play store for download, that's the best way to avoid fake app, looking at the rates and good and impressive comments by different users won't help because that is manipulative also and been paid for.

Members the best thing we could do is report both fake apps on google playstore so that they get deleted because some newbies will still continue downloading them minus seeing the warning here, The process of reporting the apps on google playstore app is so easy and the many we are who report the app for copycat/impersonation the quicker it will be removed.

I have reported both apps myself.

If you look at the reviews, you will notice so many complaints.
