Some scams or malicious attacks by bad actors on BitcoinIRA customers, or users of other crypto products, may involve tricking the target into using a fake or fraudulent app that appears legitimate. Below are warning signs that you may be using a fake or malicious app.
Signs of a fake app:
- Fake logo: The logo does not match the BitcoinIRA logo, or is off in some way
- The domain of the website is something other than bitcoinira.com
- Fake phone number: Providing a phone number other than that of BitcoinIRA, or the use of the real BitcoinIRA phone number for a different company or product
- Misspellings, strange wording or grammar, or unprofessional presentation
- Fake account numbers, numbers that do not match, etc.
- Use of scam emails or phishing to direct users to the fake app or webpage (see common scams)
