Beware of any Coronavirus tracker, there is no such thing and I'm surprised some idiots are falling for it, scammers are using a fake Coronavirus tracker app to extort from its users their Bitcoin savings, the app is locking users screens and demanding payment if users want their phone unlocked

To gain trust from its users the app developers lied about being connected with the world health organization (WHO) and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they claimed it was approved by the WHO to be used in cases of emergency.

Do not fall for this

It is really awful how this group of people specifically the scammers out there are making use of this situation to take advantage on doing schemes to scam other people and to earn for their own sake. People nowadays are already into panic and this leads to desperation so anything or anyone that offers services related to treatment of Coronavirus will attract them to get into it. It just saddens me to think that we are all into this world crisis but still there are people who still make use of people's weakness and use it as a source of income for them. So we must get rid of those by informing everyone to our extent whenever we will encounter related projects offering Coronavirus services so that the numbers of victims will be lessen or much better if no one will be victimized by this scams. Awareness and being knowledgeable nowadays is really in need to avoid getting fooled by those people.
