Fake PancakeSwap app(Avoid)

[Adbitco]

This is very bad
there are some certain principles i have set for myself before engaging into any DEX to swap any token listed on it, first i only trade on pancakeswap using my Trustapp to connect to pancakeswap directly, then also if swapping from poocoin i connect to it through trustapp as well.

Thank you I was about to download it lately because I wanted to do swapping on my phone but now I prefer using my laptop because of this post.

It's not just about fake applications, it's worth noting that many phishing sites have come without us realizing it all this time, so it's better to use it as safely as possible with a trusted application to swap on pancakeswap and try to see in this thread list about phishing that has been done. a lot is reported in that thread, because I think some may not know in this case. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197078.0

if not in this thread i will not find out that Pancakeswap has an APP going lol.

though this pancake project is showing some good increase nowadays and surely scam and hack will follow that way , yet i did not pay attention to this one 

anyway thanks for the heads up, in case i come across investing or using pancake for swapping? i will use this advise .

You could easily make out some bookmarks so that you wouldnt lost up yourself or lost track on the time you do access a certain site specially dealing with DEX exchange.

Having some common sense is something a very common human error on where  they do neglect out on checking things because if they are really that sensible towards their actions

then people wouldnt really be ending up on disastrous kind of mistakes which would really cost up them money.If you are really that having that awareness then its most likely
you wont really get victimized.

It is alarming that some apps got millions of downloads, so let's guess how many accounts were compromised. Thanks for bringing to the community's attention about the fake mobile apps for popular Binance Smart Chain decentralized exchange. It's important to note that the DEX doesn't have mobile apps. Already, malicious actors have created the popular DEX-like applications on the Google Play store. Take caution.

Imagine downloading an app from play store is not even safe anymore, am glad I only access pancakeswap through safepal Wallet, I never knew there is a stand alone app or just this fake ones exit in play store, good @op has pointed this out for everyone to know, am sure some innocent people already fall victims to this terrible scam.

Sad to inform you that by checking the info page for the fake app, there are thousands of downloads. It's always (in most of cases) an issue with Google standards which doesn't just allow hackers to list fake apps in Google Play store, but they are also able to promote it in Google Search first page by just paying the fees.
There are no worries with apple store as they have a solid security policy, however we should always check and verify because even we trust app store, we still don't know how the hackers can compromise the system.

Just lost 8K on PancakeSwap, i will never use this service again!

I am yet to see any DEX with a mobile app. Most DEXs are usually web based and the likes of Uniswap, pancakeswap, etc are web 3 allied which makes it possible to access them from a mobile wallet.

A rule of the thumb I follow whenever I want to download any app is to go through their official website. If it's not listed there, then it most likely does not exist. In case I have a doubt, I ask through their official social media handles.

This should help anyone, especially a newbie.

How did you lose 8k on Pancakeswap? Did you buy a project token that rugged or what?

[martina14]

I never use so far pancakeswap using mobile phone that can be download in the play store.
Just using it or opening it through browsing in the chrome or any of the legit browser anyway.
This is too risky and one mistake all your assets can be steal for sure in the end.

[dark1234]

maybe it has become cryptocurrency law when developers and scammers will look for loopholes to deceive users who are actually new or not careful ... moreover pancakeswap is one of the swap exchanges that is very widely used I myself have never used except from services already provided by the wallet or exchange

[TheMimic1]

Pancake swap never had an app I guess? Cos if they had their website will bring out download link for app, playstore is what I fear the most cos there are too many fake apps on there, if you need to download an app don't go on playstore to search for it, there is a chance you might got the wrong one

So PancakeSwap has an Official App? have no knowledge about this since I am not having any connection with PancakeSwap project.

Yeah it increases this year and there are some thread that i come across talking about how promising this but I care nothing but with all of my funds in Folio.

Mind explaining how you lose money in Pancake swapping?
