4 days ago, a military friend of mine funds all got stolen. A look a scan of his wallet via etherscan.io showed that the fund always left same minute after successfully receiving it. And the name of the application in play store is "ERC20 Tokens Wallet". I had advised him to download Imtoken from the store. He won't listen until the worst happened. Thank God I was able to detect it when he complained the fund he sent was yet to reach it destination. Now a check on that phishing app showed that it has some good reviews, but my conclusion is that the reviews are nothing but conspiracy. Try to make download directly from authors link or make reviews on YouTube or ask someone already using it. Let's avoid the worst case.

Seems like too much work and I am afraid that this may preclude others from wanting to use virtual currencies. If there are no regulations to prevent people from getting scammed, then crypto money won't last long despite the fact that many businesses are now accepting them.

Let me disagree with you. A large number of pickpockets did not make people abandon the use of traditional money. If you find out that your friend, for example, has been robbed on a bus, you will be more careful in storing your wallet. Similarly, with cryptocurrency - you already know that downloading applications is not safe, then you can either abandon them, or carry out operations with Bitcoins and store virtual money on a separate computer.
