IDEX Market Google Store SCAM ALERT

[Akiko]

Be careful, Google Store has launched the IDEX Market mobile app, which is a SCAM.

How do we distinguish the application from official sources or not. If we search directly from Playstore there are indeed very many similar applications. But I suggest being able to visit the official site, and download based on their referral link. This method will be safer than using search.

Yes, it is much more secured same thing with the other wallet hackers already found a way to scam many people by using Google apps as tools I also found some one like this but they use  exodus wallet fake application.

Don't just install application you saw in the app store make sure it always came from legit source which you can only find in their website if they own it.

If that was already verified by Google Play's Play protect will that was a clear lapse on their part, Just be careful guys even a large and sophisticated app market like Google play store is not safe from the proliferation of fake app it's better to check carefully from the original party issuer to minimize the risk of being scam that might result of losing our hard earn money.

I am very surprised that so many parties are not responsible for carrying out the fraud there are so many ways that they do by make similar applications
at the core of it all we have to be careful and thorough before installing an exchanger application on our smart phone

day by day crypto scammer that have high skill in techonology developt various techniqu to attack exchanges or anything that rellated about money. even popular twitter account attacked too, they thinking by attacking trusted account will make more people trusting and send money.

Scammer do everthing to manipulate people to do their requests, but the final decide not from him but from us. That's why we must always double check every piece information, make sure from an official and legit source, but even from legitimate source, we must judge whether it makes sense or not. If they offer easy money, surely it's from a scammer even if published from legitimate source

I hope Google Store staff or parties from PlayStore should immediately delete this damn application because that's it is very detrimental for beginners who just joined in this crypto world. Be careful because there are a lot of fraudulent applications related to crypto on Playstore and thank you because you for sharing this important news with everyone here. this topic is very useful.

[bits4books]

Oh, more scammers! Scandals, intrigues, investigations!
It is even interesting to know what Google can say about this-everyone knows that unfortunately their store is still a dump. There is no content verification at all or how?

[Gotumoot]

This is kind a scary actually specially for those who are lazy to check if the trading sites really created a mobile app.
Before we actually use a mobile trading app make sure that it is really from the trading team not just by random person who are using their name to scam people.
We need to learn how to search and protect our crypto don't be lazy to do it and cry out later when you lose because of your laziness.

Google store has to many scam apps actually. Google should do something with that

[bitcoinst]

The most unpleasant thing is that this application was posted last month, on the second of July. And the fact that this scam was revealed quite recently. 500 downloads is quite a lot, considering that among them there can easily be clients of the exchange itself who are waiting for a mobile application. Another reminder that in the crypto world you need to check absolutely everything, several times.

[Rowenta]

It's what happened to people who don't know the importance of official websites, when it comes to wallets apps and exchange apps I will rather go through the exchange website to download the app than using Google store

[mdzahed134]

Thanks for this information. If there are no mobile application officially from IDEX exchange so definitely it’s a scam apps. Google playstore regulation isn’t enough strong i think, anyone can use this store very easily. We should report it also idex teams. Over 500 download+ that menas victims will be increase.

The application can be cloned and this is not the first case but there were so many scam application in the playstore, i remember so many people were also getting scammed through this method too.
We need to report it and spread more awareness.

[Sterbens]

I have never used the IDEX application on PlayStore for me it's easier with its official website, indeed nowadays many scamer who keep imitating their style so that many are trapped there.

[bluebit25]

I have never used Idex, I do not use small exchanges in this market because they can be hacked at any time. BTW I have reported this app and hope moderators will remove it as soon as possible

This is why I advise people don't do serious business over your smartphone with apps. Use computer instead to be more secure and less likely to be tricked under fake apps.

[Anonylz]

It's crazy considering how much time it takes nowadays to publish a normal app in google play store and how strict their reviews are but see this one scam app could go through easily. I must admit that google play really bad in term of reviewing apps in google playstore compared to app store. Maybe, security is not their first concern.

I don't think so much time is being put in anymore to publish an app in Google store this days because I think this is the second thread am reading about a possible scam app on Google play store within 2 days,
if they are actually as strict as you said then such app won't find their way in the app store in the first place,
Yeah I can agree with their ^{should I call it} weakness in security,
maybe a critical look into all the various apps we have on Google play store will reveal even more similar scam app who knows.

Be careful of fake apps on Google store, google team claimed that they've uprooted all fake applications from their store but that's all those they can detect, I believe few are still on the store, it's always wiser to download apps that involve money through official source

[Coin BTC]

Be careful, Google Store has launched the IDEX Market mobile app, which is a SCAM.

Official tweet:

SCAM ALERT: A fraudulent IDEX app is currently listed on Google Play. Please be aware that we are working on getting it removed and encourage users to avoid downloading and interacting with the scam.

Idex has not yet released an official version. So be careful when downloading applications on Playstore. Go immediately, and report every fake application on Playstore so that Google blocks it. This is very dangerous for those who use smartphone for trading.

Still bogged my mind how fake app like this pass the Google's publisher rule for the store. Has Google too lax on maintaining trusted apps to be available for download on their store?

[Perfect35]

I am still trying to imagine how google store would not check the authenticity f what they endorse to be published on their store.  before endorsing a thing like this, the source has to be confirmed and if it is not coming from the rightful owners of the branded name, it should not be accepted. This is why I find it hard to accept what google store presents, except there is a directly link from the owners whom i trust.
