Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), Doge Killer (LEASH) and Shiboshi holders should heed the important caution that will protect their crypto holdings while they navigate the internet.
Shiba Army Scam Alerts, or Susbarium, an X account committed to detecting scams and protecting the Shiba Inu community, has issued an important alert as fake websites and NFT drops requesting Shiba Inu ecosystem token holders connect their crypto wallet and redeem cash are on the rise.
Shiba Inu flagged two of these fake sites; in one of them, the scammer sent a supposed BONE voucher, which contained a fake Shibarium NFT voucher that could be swapped for $100,000 USDC. The offer is no doubt a scam, and one way to tell is that it appears too good to be true.
In light of this, crypto holders are advised to always check the URLs of such sites, while having knowledge of the URL of the legitimate website and how it looks. They should never connect their crypto wallets to sites without first conducting due diligence. They should also beware of "too good to be true" online offers and only click on links from official sources.
It should be kept in mind that these schemes target naive crypto users with the intent of stealing their assets.
As reported, Susbarium issued an alert at the start of the week about scammers copying the SHIB magazine page and requesting unsuspecting users to connect their wallets to mint fake NFTs with the intent of stealing their assets.
Thus, Shiba Inu holders are urged to exercise caution as bad actors are always devising new ways to perpetuate scams.
Earlier this week, the third issue of SHIB Magazine was released, with the cover featuring Welly, the Shib-themed Italian fast-food restaurant from Naples. As a present for the Shiba Inu community, 5,000 unique NFTs of the magazine cover were released.
