A fraudulent app impersonating Curve Finance has surged into the top 100 finance applications on Apple's App Store, alarming users across Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Despite its popularity, the app has received a dismal one-star rating, with numerous negative reviews labeling it a scam.
