Fraudulent apps are designed with malicious intent to deceive users, often by mimicking legitimate services.
These apps can steal personal information, financial data, or install malware on devices.
Users should be cautious and only download apps from trusted sources.
Fraudulent apps can take various forms, including fake banking apps, phony antivirus software, or counterfeit versions of popular games.
