KeePass, Imtoken, Now Trader Joe Hit by Google Ad Phishing

Coin Edition -

  • The Trader Joe team has warned about deceptive Google Search ads falsely claiming to be associated with its DEX.

  • The team clearly stated that they run no sponsored ads and that any such ads lead to phishing websites draining connected wallets.

  • Users of KeePass and Imtoken have been targets of similar Google Search scams.

The prevalence of deceptive schemes advertised through Google shows no signs of diminishing, with malicious individuals persistently disguising themselves as legitimate entities to deceive crypto enthusiasts.

One recently uncovered Google scam advertisement targeted users of the DeFi platform, Trader Joe. In a recent tweet, the Trader Joe team warned the crypto community about ‘deceptive sponsored’ Google Search ads falsely claiming to be associated with its decentralized exchange (DEX).

The team clearly stated that the sponsored site on Google searches is not affiliated with them. Additionally, it was noted that Trader Joe does not endorse Google ads. As a result, any such ads are fraudulent and may lead to phishing websites, potentially draining connected wallets.

Empathically, Trader Joe urged users and followers to exercise caution and exclusively access their platform through the official website URL on their X account profile bio.
