> (https://irctc.creditmobile.site)  is being circulated over instant
> messaging platforms e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. This android app (APK
> file) is malicious and infects the mobile device. These fraudsters are

> In view of this, you are advised that please do not install this

> or Apple Store.
