Scammers may trick users into installing a fake App that closely resembles the authentic TronLink App. The information users input when creating or importing their wallets will be recorded by the App backend and then synchronized to scammers' dedicated servers. In this way, they can gain access to users' private keys and mnemonic phrases, import wallets, and transfer all assets out of users' accounts.
To avoid falling victim to such scams, please make sure that you always download the TronLink App from our official website and do not use the links or installer packages shared by others.
