Crypto Crackdown: Google bans 8 fake crypto apps; here is the list

Google play store has banned eight crypto-related apps for misleading users by making fake claims.

These apps lured users as they were promised to be rich through their cloud mining services. Users were charged anywhere between $14.99 to $18.99 as fees for the services that didn't even really exist.

As the cyber security firm Trend Micro pointed out, these apps were also tricking the users into watching ads and subscribing to enhanced mining capacity plans. 

These apps were nothing more than a scam as not even a single one of those had any crypto mining operations.

Following is the list of these apps:

1.  BitFunds – Crypto Cloud Mining

2. Bitcoin Miner – Cloud Mining

3. Bitcoin (BTC) – Pool Mining Cloud Wallet

4. Crypto Holic – Bitcoin Cloud Mining

5. Daily Bitcoin Rewards – Cloud Based Mining System

6. Bitcoin 2021

7. MineBit Pro - Crypto Cloud Mining & btc miner

8. Ethereum (ETH) - Pool Mining Cloud
