The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community has been put on high alert following a crucial warning from Susbarium Shibarium Trustwatch, a Shiba Inu-focused X account dedicated to uncovering scams and protecting the Shiba Inu community.
In a recent tweet, Susbarium warns the Shiba Inu community to beware of impersonator accounts spreading fake rewards and phishing links.
With Shiba Inu's growing popularity, scammers are targeting the community with phishing links and fake reward schemes. These malicious actors often create impersonator accounts to deceive unsuspecting holders and steal their crypto assets.
In this light, Susbarium flagged an X account impersonating Shiba Inu's lead ambassador, Shytoshi Kusama. This trend of impersonation is not new; in late February, Susbarium issued an alert to the Shiba Inu community on a fake X account impersonating the Shiba Inu official accounts.

They should also stay vigilant and protect their crypto; one way to do so is to avoid clicking suspicious links, particularly those shared on unofficial channels or direct messages.
Other warnings emerge

In another ShibArmy alert, Susbarium urges the Shiba Inu community to beware of fake "verify and claim" posts, as these scams can drain user wallet assets.
The warnings serve as a reminder for all SHIB holders to stay vigilant and avoid falling victim to scams and impersonators. By staying alert and supporting each other, the community can effectively combat these scams and protect their assets.
