The official Shiba Inu (SHIB) team recently issued an urgent warning to the community:
Scam Alert
Fraudsters are impersonating SHIB developers and official accounts (including Shytoshi Kusama), promoting fake tokens and bogus reward offers especially on X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram.
These scams often include fake airdrops, exclusive group invitations, or “reward” schemes such as SHI, TREAT, and SHIFU.
Red Flags to Watch For
Requests to link wallets, share personal info, click unknown links, or send funds to unverified tokens are frequent scam tactics.
Official Guidance
Verify authenticity: Always cross-check with official channels—Shiba Inu’s verified X (Twitter) accounts and Shibarium Trustwatch.
No official airdrops: Any airdrop or reward promotion is likely fraudulent—SHI, TREAT, SHIFU are not officially live yet.
Stay vigilant: Avoid engaging with suspicious accounts or links; keep your wallet and personal data secure.
🔐 Bottom Line
The SHIB team warns of growing scam activity within the community. Given the prevalence of impersonators and fake giveaways, the only safe approach is to:
✅ Use only official Shib accounts and sources
✅ Never link, share, or send assets to unverified tokens
✅ When in doubt, do your own research (DYOR)
Stay safe, SHIBizens—don’t let scammers disrupt the ShibArmy!
🧠 Cryptocurrency investments carry risks. Therefore, this is not financial advice (No BSH recommendation). Hence please do your own research (DYOR) before making investment decisions.
