Mobile app protection
Fake apps, found and taken down.
Scammers copy your app and list it on app stores, APK sites and fake download pages to steal logins, payments and one-time codes. Unphish finds the fake apps and listings using your brand, and gets them removed.
How it works
Found wherever your app can be downloaded.
Your app is how customers log in, pay and manage their accounts, which makes it worth copying. We find the fakes across app stores, third-party marketplaces, APK sites and download pages, prove they're not yours and get them removed.
The results
Proven on real fake app cases.
From fraudulent mobile app and fake app download site cases we closed for our clients in the first half of 2026.

FAQ
Mobile app protection questions, answered.
What is a fake mobile app?
It's an app that copies your brand's name, logo, screenshots or description to trick people into installing it. Fake apps are used to steal logins, payment details and one-time codes, or to send customers to scam services.
Where do you find fake apps?
On official app stores, third-party marketplaces and APK sites, and on websites telling people to download a “new” version of your app. In the first half of 2026, 97% of the fake app listings we found were on third-party stores rather than the official ones.
How do you get fake apps removed?
We report each one to the app store, marketplace or host with evidence that the app and branding are yours, including screenshots, developer details and package names, and escalate if action is slow. 92% of the fake apps and app download sites we pursued in the first half of 2026 were taken down.
Do you monitor third-party app stores and APK sites?
Yes. Most fake apps never reach the official stores, so we watch unofficial marketplaces, aggregators and APK download sites as well as Google Play and the App Store.
What if a fake app is uploaded again?
Removed listings are checked automatically, and re-uploads are linked back to the original case and campaign so they can be reported again quickly.
Can our customers or staff report a suspicious app?
Yes. Anyone on your team can send us a link to a suspicious app or download site at any time, and it goes through the same evidence, validation and takedown process.
Does Unphish help with UK scam and fraud rules?
Yes. Unphish helps UK organisations detect, disrupt and document impersonation, with a full audit trail of every detection and takedown. That record supports your work under the Online Safety Act and APP fraud reimbursement rules.
