Hi,

Using a WhatsApp group, members are added stating they provide tips for Share trading and can make quick profits.

This link is shared to install the App - https://www.upissaxx.xyz/

Once the link is clicked, it's redirected to - https://play.uyjdklhdjk7893.com/1366647487/__roibest_install.html?channel_id=4&rb_pixel_id=23134234&promote_url_id=6729352228&rb_tid=0&invite_code=&rb_page=1&rb_time=1718964849640&link_id=1303451040289367

Now, it looks like a legitimate Google Play Store page. But it's a fake page. Please refer the attached Screenshot (Screenshot.png).


Below are several such scams reported in the media:
