SHIB warning/reminder for community
@susbarium has alerted the SHIB community about the increasing number of fake groups on Telegram impersonating legitimate SHIB-linked channels. These fraudulent groups attempt to deceive users by promising exclusive content, crypto giveaways, and investment opportunities related to SHIB, BONE, TREAT, and other Shibarium-related tokens. SHIB users are advised to double-check the authenticity of groups they want to join on Telegram by looking for official verification badges or announcements made by verified and trusted sources on other platforms.
How to protect one’s personal details
SHIB users are also advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links from unsolicited messages or in suspicious groups as these may lead to phishing websites or malware downloads. Another crucial recommendation is to refrain from sharing one’s wallet address in public chat rooms on Telegram or anywhere else. Staying informed about the recent security alerts and the best ways to ensure online safety is also emphasized. The post concludes by urging the SHIB community to join forces and work together “to keep the community safe and secure.”
Previous warnings from @susbarium
Last week, @susbarium issued warnings to the SHIB army, urging them to beware of fake Telegram accounts impersonating the pseudonymous SHIB lead developer Shytoshi Kusama and his right hand, Kaal Dhairya. The SHIB community was warned against falling for these accounts, as they provide misleading information and aim to obtain users’ personal data and wallet addresses.
Conclusion
In conclusion, as the popularity of cryptocurrencies like SHIB continues to rise, so does the number of scams and fraudulent activities. Users are urged to stay vigilant, double-check the authenticity of groups and accounts, avoid sharing personal details, and stay informed about the latest security alerts to protect themselves from potential scams.
