I'm sure that those who are into crypto since last year knew that downloading new mobile wallet from play store can be dangerous, well this is for newbies who just entered crypto space this year, most top popular mobile wallets have fakes built by scammers too, before you download any wallet find its website and download through the link instead

I think that this is a great warning post for the newbies and beginners here in cryptocurrencies. I hope that they dont get swayed easily by great offers that can be a scam. I think that if you think the phrase too good to be true, it is applicable here because if someone or you saw some offer about earning great money withou further work then have a second thinking about it before you accept it because if you don't think wisely, it might be a scam that can take advantage of you. I think that neebies and beginners should start here in sites and don't rely on applications in play store because some is just phishing site that can hack you. Be alert and attentive and be wise in cryptocurrencies.

A lot of mobile wallet in playstore are fake.  Some wallet want to permission for contract, photos, Storage it's really dangerous. Before downloading need Check their website, download times and reviews. It can help for newbie.

If the newcomers are not trained in how to proceed, I will have nothing to say. This is because the new market is a new investment and therefore the environment will be different. So I say, lean towards training. The Scammer is haunting the crypto world every now and than we must be careful in this regard for your safe invest .

You can also add this that There's a lot of spam email sender who send phishing link or apps via email and act like real one. Newbie are their main target. Many people lost huge money in this way.

This is a very simple thing to do by someone, but also very simple to overcome, namely by ignoring messages that enter the spam folder and then delete it, because the original project is very rarely send us messages or phishing to everyone.

This thread is very important to all users. Especially for beginners. If you use fake apps, you can be a victim of fraud. So get rid of cheaters by using the right apps.

The extent to which a website has gained its trust depends on its reputations, reviews, commitments, criteria, and running activity. If there is one thing lacking here, then there will be some nonsense. And that should be discarded.

Here you can recommend using programs and links to them from official developer resources, a github repository, groups in social networks representing mobile wallets.

Nice one, this is because prevention is always better than cure as they said,when it comes to wallet be it mobile or site one needs to be very careful as hacking is real, so make sure you are going through the right channel to download your mobile wallet or site wallet, be careful of the links you click also.

I just heard there is a case like this, usually the fraudsters are falsified is the website or the wallet site, if you visit the phishing site, then you will get hacked, if for the application it's better to be downloaded via Playstore or Apple Store, you will be safe for fraudster

I agree. But most of the newbie are not aware of this. They thinks all are real. I have seen many newbie to put their private key instead of public key in bounty campaign

Now recently we have many channels and videos on youtube for guiding these things but sadly most of newbies not going to check them and losing money as spammers and cheaters doing tricks with them and taking good amount without any hard work with just few tricks they need to searcha and have their lessons before doing any thing.

You can download wallet by checking downloaded times. Always some users left useful feedback on play store about this app service. At least for first time use only top wallet. Use trust wallet or coinbase, if you like control on your wallet than use atomic wallet. Trust wallet is also good for mobile users.

the main point of original post is to warn newcomers about apps from app store and playmarket - you may will to download coinbase, but you will find tons of trash scam copies of it along your way to original coinbase
and it can be hard for a newbie to recognize which one is not a scam

Scam website also available in internet. Beginners can use top wallet like Trust wallet, Coinbase, blockchain or atomic wallet. Before original app upload in playstore, I found scam atomic wallet app in play store. You can download app by sharing a link from your friend who already used legit wallet.

Most of the wallet that can be download at the google plastore are safe but they have few that cannot be trusted.
If a newbie are looking for the wallet they have many wallet that can download and this forum can help them to find because we have here review of the different wallets and newbiie can choose what they want..

I am skeptical of downloading mobile wallet due to security risk. Not just the risk of downloading fake wallets but also on the risk of a phone being lost or stolen. It is easier to verify or to bookmark online wallet, than keeping a wallet on your phone. I am not actually good at keeping my phone and I have lost my phone several times, that one of the reasons why.

For those who will download mobile wallet, just read some review first or ask other users if it is safe or not.

[XenoFever]

Great advise buddy, there are so many fake apps you may download on Google store or even on some websites, before installing the application on your cellphone or computer you should check or read some reviews about it. Always make sure that you are downloading the legit application if you think that it differs from what you are thinking then think twice.

You didn't get what OP mean. The OP just suggested when you have intention to download an application through Playstore or Appstore you have to go to the official website of the platfrom first. If you download directly from playstore/appstore you may have a chance to be scammed. Because the scammer can make a fake platform and cloned the real platform so this is why you have to go to the official website first and find the link that linked to playstore because it will be safe.

Mainly, more than half of the android wallets are dangerous and can be hacked easily.
I understand that now not all people have PC or laptop, especially in Africa. But choosing where to store coins, on Android or PC, I'll choose second

It is imperative to always move forward thoughtfully in order to be protected from all-round arcades. Even if you have to buy or download a small wallet like this here, but there is no minimum reliance, it is important to know who you are going with before doing anything.
