Interesting how did you found this fake site, just randomly browsing or searching for specific thing in the search engines? I tried with google to search for Trust Wallet Beta but I cound't find hit on that one. Maybe they have already removed it.

BTW Congrats on reaching 1000+ earned merit

They are really everywhere, from PC to mobile, as long as there are people who just installed an application without even checking if it's legit, they will never stop, good thing there is articles and post like this to keep us posted thank you.

There are also a lot of fake trust wallet in Google apps, meaning that it is being choose buy criminals frequently. I'm not aware though that there is this so called beta program so they try to milk it as much as they can. Good and interesting catch, keep up the good work and also congrats for being a self made legendary (1000+ merits earned).

Yeah just how could they found these fake sites, scam and other related activities? They are really hunters or snipers on scam and other related activities. Anyway, I do not actually believe in so many web wallet sites to which some are fake. I can only recommend some web wallet like BITAMP to be use and has been actually using it to store some bitcoin ready for spending especially now that we are already approaching the bull run. I think there is a small fluctuation but it can bounce back anytime soon for bitcoin.

How did they find it?
I don't think some people try to find them, but the scammers find them and then send the link to the phishing site to trick users using TrushWallet. This method is very common. Those who join trust Wallet's telegram group will receive messages about Beta Program Sites like this one. I even often find in my email that goes to spam and in Telegram Private Messages.

More and more scammers are faster than us with new methods that will trap anyone who is interested.

You just have to blend in with the crowd.

There is no way we can stop these guys from creating a fake website and scamming new users. The only way we can help others and ourselves is by visiting the correct website and checking with the owners directly on their social media channel whether they are running some kind of promotional program. I have done this quite a lot of time and found Twitter to be the best mode to contact any crypto-based companies. They generally reply to any queries within a few hours. So the next time you see any promotion, testing activities contact the company directly on Twitter and check with them.

As per the OP email, https://trustwallet.com/beta/ is a legit site while secure data is a fake site. Is it right ?
Both domain names are too much different and anyone should really recognize it as a phishing site.

By the way is there any benefit of joining the trust wallet beta program ?

One needs to be really careful about what he gives a try on the internet nowadays. Imagine if you did not post this here, I might have even fallen for this trick having the feeling that it's a beta test web version trust wallet.
Thank you for posting this here.

Thank you for sharing this bro!
Well, I am not a trust wallet user but this wallet is very common to use and very common in our country. Metamask is a little bit tricky to use than this trust wallet that's why people preferred to use this wallet than the other wallet to store Ethereum on the mobile phone.
We should really be careful nowadays because there are too many scammers waiting ahead and taking advantage of those innocents people who did not have even a little research. All we have to do is report this to Google.

The users will not accidentally find the phishing application, but they are observant in seeing and distinguishing it from the real one, of course what method the scamer spreads is to spread the link to several users who use Trustwallet so I think wherever we are especially in installing the wallet application we have to be careful and see how authenticity is the most important.

Now there are more and more traps where I think we just need to raise our awareness of what's going on there so remain uninterested in any conditions.
