Crypto influncer and Youtuber BitBoy warned Uniswap users of a new scam involving the Google search page in a recent tweet

He explained that when searching for Uniswap the first result on Google is an ad link that brings you to a website that looks identical to Uniswap that will ask you for a seed phrase of your wallet. 

BitBoy claims that one of his friends lost $30,000 to the scam. He warned his followers to enter Uniswap's url directly into the search bar rather than finding the site through Google. He went on to call out Google for not better protecting users of the search feature.
