The dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu continues to garner attention in the cryptocurrency space. Given Shiba Inu's popularity, scammers have devised various means, such as fake airdrops and giveaways, in an attempt to defraud unsuspecting holders. The intent remains to lure users into giving up their personal information, wallet keys, or tokens.
In this light, the Shiba Inu team has been proactive and vigilant in protecting the SHIB community from scams, as well as educating them about the risks and opportunities in the crypto space.
Along similar lines, Lucie, a Shiba Inu team member, warns the Shiba Inu community to be wary of scammers who post about airdrops and phishing URLs. Lucie reiterates that there is no airdrop, and any other claim is a trap designed to steal users' assets.
Lucie urges Shiba Inu users to connect via the official Telegram or Discord and to double-check all information before clicking on any link on X (formerly Twitter). She also directs the Shiba Inu community's attention to the official Sheboshis account, which is verified on X with its blue tick right beside the Shiba Inu logo.
Lucie urges the Shiba Inu community to watch out for spelling errors to spot Sheboshi's fake accounts.
In an earlier tweet, Lucie alerted the Shiba Inu community to the fact that Sheboshis have been minted out and there are no airdrops.
Shibarmy Scam Alerts also issues a similar warning, stating that scammers are impersonating official accounts on X to trick users into following them so they can provide misleading information to create doubt, misdirect to fake websites, or even obtain personal information that can be used maliciously.
In this context, the SHIB community is urged to be vigilant and cautious and to always verify the source and authenticity of any links or messages they receive.
In other news, Sheboshi's SHEB token has scored a new listing on the British Virgin Islands-based crypto exchange, LBank.
