Shiba Inu Community Warned About Rising Scams
With the Shiba Inu community experiencing various developments, scammers have seized the opportunity to exploit the excitement and deceive unsuspecting victims. As a result, community members have taken to social media to caution others about the potential risks that could lead to financial losses.
Scammers Exploit Shiba Inu Liquid Staking
An influential member of the Shiba Inu community, @ShibBPP, has raised an alarm regarding new and elaborate scams targeting SHIB community members. These scams take advantage of users’ eagerness to invest in new ventures within the ecosystem, making them vulnerable.
The influencer has outlined common scams circulating, including honeypot scams. Honeypots trick investors into buying into a project but prevent them from selling, resulting in immediate loss of funds.
To appear legitimate, these scams often create websites, social media accounts, and make promises of extraordinary returns. They may even use posts from reputable accounts to advertise their schemes.
To avoid falling victim to such scams, the influencer advises community members to avoid projects that promise unbelievable returns and instead opt for investments with established credibility on reputable exchanges.
How to Protect Yourself from Scams
In the crypto world, navigating and evading scams is unfortunately part of the game. Therefore, it is crucial for investors to equip themselves with accurate information and conduct extensive research to safeguard their funds.
In another post, the influencer provides multiple strategies for avoiding scams targeting the Shiba Inu community. These include thorough research and investing only in projects with a proven track record of trustworthiness.
Aside from honeypot scams, wallet drainers are also prevalent within the Shiba Inu community. These scams direct investors to fraudulent websites, tricking them into connecting their wallets and resulting in the loss of all their funds.
Phishing attacks are another common scam, where community members receive bogus emails with links aiming to steal their crypto information. Users have been advised to ignore such emails and any suspicious messages they receive.
