Susbarium warned the Shiba Inu community to stay alert as scammers are out there. The Shiba Inu-focused X account also alerted the SHIB community to an increasing number of impersonator accounts posing as official Shiba Inu representatives, a tactic being used to mislead holders, direct to fake links and steal personal information.

The Shiba Inu community is growing, currently at 1,509,812 holders per Etherscan data; hence, scammers are capitalizing on the buzz, using fake profiles, phishing links and fake rewards to trick unsuspecting users.

The message included key safety tips for the community. First, Shiba Inu holders should verify before trusting, which means they should constantly double-check any information with official SHIB channels. Second, they should avoid suspicious links and never click on random links, even if they look legitimate. Third, Shiba Inu holders should protect their wallets and never disclose private keys or seed phrases. Finally, they should report suspicious activity and alert others.

Other warnings issued

In a recent tweet, Susbarium warned the Shiba Inu community to beware of fake airdrop scams.

This is because scammers are circulating emails and messages claiming to offer free token airdrops. These fraudulent offers often require users to verify their accounts or provide wallet details, putting their funds at risk.

Shiba Inu holders are also urged to stay vigilant as a scam is targeting the Shiba Inu community through a fake claim portal for BAD token rewards. The fraudulent site is trying to trick users into connecting wallets under false pretenses.

The scam presents a fake claim portal that mimics the official site design and requests to connect wallets to verify rewards. It also sends out misleading messages asking people to confirm their eligibility before claiming tokens.
