How to spot a fake crypto-mining app

Here’s a simple process you can go through to identify if a crypto mining app is fake or worth exploring:

1. Head to the app review section and read the critical one-star reviews. These often reveal what real users are saying about the app.
2. Enter an invalid or wrong cryptocurrency wallet address. Trend Micro found that malicious apps continue to process despite incorrect wallet addresses. It is a red flag if the app keeps running with invalid information.
3. Mining actions on fake apps are simulated with local time counters. So, once you restart your phone, these fraudulent apps will reset the counter. If this happens, the app is likely fake.
4. If the app offers free withdrawals with a low or non-existent limit, this is another reason to be suspicious.

Explore reliable mining platforms

If you are a beginner, you will be surprised at the number of mining apps when you search for them in any app marketplace. But as is true with anything in the crypto space, do your own research (DYOR), engage with the community on telegram and message boards, and pick the one that works for you.
