People in the Shiba Inu community have been warned about a recent wave of scams involving people pretending to be Shiba Inu boss Shytoshi Kusama on Telegram. The warning, sent by the Shiba Inu-focused X handle ShibArmy Scam Alerts, tells SHIB users to be careful and keep an eye out.
The warning says that scammers have been making fake Telegram accounts that look like Shytoshi Kusama in order to get money from people in the community who don’t know what’s going on. In exchange for money, these dishonest people often claim rewards or special chances. The ShibArmy Scam Alerts tweet makes it clear that Shytoshi Kusama will never ask for money and tells anyone who gets such a request to report it right away.
Scammers Exploit Shiba Inu
More scams are aimed at the Shiba Inu group, which is made worse by the fact that the token is becoming more famous. The community’s love for the token is used by thieves to commit fraud by making fake accounts and channels and riding on people’s happiness and trust.
ShibArmy Scam Alerts told people to stay away from fake Telegram groups that try to trick people into joining fake airdrops that don’t exist. A lot of the time, these sites are just scams that have nothing to do with Shiba Inus or the dog world. Con artists use tricks like countdown timers that look really important to make people think they need to connect their wallets and get free stuff right away, without first checking them out properly.
The alert tells people in the Shiba Inu community to carefully check out any offers before they contact with them or connect their wallets. It stresses how important it is to check official social media outlets and reliable sources to make sure that any claims are true.
