Fake Atomic Wallet has been removed from Google Play Store. Thanks all of you who reported against that fake wake wallet.

Always be careful. Don't put your mnemonic anywhere you don't trust. Always verify the source of Wallet. If you use Electrum Wallet, check the GPG Signature after download. If you don't know how to verify GPG Signature, check this guide

Be safe. Be happy

Google really needs to do something about these fake apps and be able to recognize them faster and not rely on user reports so much, I don't know from how long ago this wallet was listed on google play but even if we assume it was listed at October 16 (which is the start date of this thread) it still took them 2 whole weeks to remove this app and I'm almost sure if it wasn't for the reports that they got from this thread it could take up to a month or even more for them to remove it, what would be the purpose of using their store instead of downloading the APK file separately if they can not do some simple security/legitimacy checks before listing these apps?
