Someone recently lost over $34k of ADA coins as it successfully masqueraded as mobile version of Daedalus Wallet, here is the fake app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adaCardano.daedaluswallet

with what seem to be massive amounts of fake positive reviews, and somehow +5000 downloads looks super legit, despite several attempts by community members and the cardano team, it has fallen on deaf ears
