Crucial Fake SHIB Tokens Warning Issued by Shiba Inu Team

SHIB-affiliated account @susbarium X has published an important warning to the whole SHIB community. This time, the warning concerns “unofficial tokens and misleading claims.”

Shiba Inu team gives warning to the SHIB army

@susbarium’s tweet draws the community’s attention to multiple attempts of scammers to capitalize on the Shiba Inu ecosystem. For this purpose, they keep launching unofficial tokens named like official tokens linked to Shiba Inu. These groups claim that these tokens are part of the SHIB ecosystem, offering users to buy them.

🚨Warning: Unofficial Tokens & Misleading Claims!🚨

Certain groups are attempting to exploit the Shiba Inu ecosystem by launching unofficial tokens named as ours and making false claims of affiliation with SHIB. Stay informed and protect yourself by verifying sources and only…

The tweet offers several official online resources which can help users to check whether a token is real of fake. @susbarium reminds the community that all the tokens listed at the SHIB website (see the tweet) are certainly official. “Always verify before engaging,” the message warns.

The second malice mentioned in the tweet is misleading associations. This means that certain scam individuals or projects may promote themselves as being affiliated with SHIB but they are not authorised properly, @susbarium states, also providing a link to see the full list of verified “PartnerShibs.”

The important message delivered by the tweet is that valid information about Shiba Inu tokens, giveaways, partnership, etc, “comes only from SHIB developers or the SHIB core team.” Information that originates not from these sources “it is not an official note and should be treated with skepticism.” Other important information sources for a double check are official SHIB channels on social media. They should be kept in mind by investors too. The same goes for any “community alerts”. “Be cautious when encountering new projects that claim SHIB connections without official verification,” the tweet warns users.

Finally, the tweet urges the SHIB army to never share sensitive personal information with unknown entities. In case of doubts, it is worth consulting official SHIB channels.

Lesson here: Use a separate computer for your wallet and avoid installing or granting permissions.

Though inconvenient, it prevents costly hacks, which are more common than reported. Sharing like this 👇requires courage.
