# Fake Decentralized Applications

Scammers create fake applications that look like legitimate services. Their main trick is showing a well-known website address in the **TON Connect** window while actually operating from a different domain.

### 🥷 How does it work?

Users see that they're connecting to an app at **example.app**, but the connection is actually going to **fake-example.app**—scammers use this domain spoofing to steal users' funds.

### 🕵️ How to stay protected?

**My Wallet** automatically checks whether the address user sees matches where the connection is actually going. If something's wrong—a warning will pop up in **TON Connect**.

### 👀 What to do when a warning appears?

If you see a warning about a suspicious decentralized application, make sure you're actually working with the original dapp.

If you have any doubts or discover it's a fake—cancel the current action.
