How to Spot a Fake Crypto App or Site
Fake apps and sites are designed to look real, with one goal: stealing your login or seed phrase. Here are the warning signs and how to stay safe.
Warning signs
- A slightly different URL: like "bınance.com" instead of "binance.com" — read the link carefully.
- It asks for your seed phrase or private keys: no legitimate app ever needs them.
- Promises of "guaranteed" returns or unrealistic profits.
- An app outside the official stores (App Store / Google Play) or sent via a message link.
How to protect yourself
- Download apps from official stores only and verify the developer name.
- Go to sites by typing directly in the address bar, not from message links.
- Only enter your password or seed phrase inside the verified, official app.
