> be google > delist metamask from chrome app store > fake phishing metamask scam gets in > people getting scammed > do nothing about it https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask-by-kupinet/lpodkilpfnkllpeiebmmkalohjkdnghmDon't download this as it is not the original metamask. Shitstorm incoming for google. They should be held accountable for people losing funds as a result of how poorly this situation (initiated by google) was managed.

Yes. You only risked your coins if you installed the fake extension that appeared in the store.

They delete it because a lot of fake extension come out as Metamask so it could harm their user or make the people loss their money.
But i hope it back cause it's so easy using metamask.

They deleted the original because there are many fake versions? Makes perfect sense hey.

I guess they have all the legal disclaimers needed to cover their asses when you download those extensions. Unfortunately beside providing free services above average, they mainly care about making money out of you using them.

That scammers challenge by themselves. Really scamming goes beyond a step with a new day. Thanks for informing us and thanks Google staff for removing those kind of scam and fake extensions. God bless us ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

You are probably right, however if the right person got burnt by that we might see a class action. Damn I hate google.

There was also a fake Poloniex app. I am starting to feel a bit bored of this.

I have seen this version before, but I did not download it and i went to the main site. Unfortunately, Google's store has not checked the applications and programs that come down on it and this is one of its weaknesses. so Be careful when you downloading any application from it.
