SHIB can become "big red flag"

@DavinciShib has warned the SHIB community about scammers who shill their coins by adding “SHIB” to their names. It can be easily done by anyone, Davinci says, but “it doesn’t mean it’s safe, it’s actually the opposite.”

He warned the SHIB holder army that should they see SHIB being used for promoting and selling “some random unknown s-coin,” it is a “big red flag.”

In a comment, the SHIB admin revealed the existence of a group of people who sell “a new s-coin every couple of months.” While all those coins are 80-90% down in price already, those people are already preparing to launch the next one, Davinci stated. “Do yourself a favor, try not to get rugged three or four times before you figure out the pattern,” he warning the SHIB army.

Shytoshi Kusama says: "I'm completely fed up"

On Nov. 1, the mysterious SHIB lead developer Shytoshi Kusama published a “fun tidbit” and left it as a warning to the Shiba Inu community. He revealed the details of the mechanism scammers leverage in order to use his own name and the X account against him.

Kusama unveiled that from time to time he starts following an account from the SHIB army to "keep his ear to the community." Scammers notice this and then offer the account owner to sell it for an average price of 1 ETH. Kusama pointed out that in many parts of the world this is a significant amount of cash. The next thing such scammers do is change the account’s name and add a profile picture of an attractive woman to attract followers.

The next step is that the scammers launch their fake token and tell everyone that it is a “community-driven” one. “I am completely fed up,” Shytoshi Kusama stated, reminding the community to always check information about tokens with official SHIB sources.
