The Shiba Inu community has received a warning about a fake airdrop from a malicious Shibarium tech channel. Scammers are taking advantage of the memecoin’s branding to carry out fraudulent schemes. It is advised to be cautious when connecting wallets to unfamiliar decentralized apps.
‘Stay Safe’
A member of the Shiba Inu community, Vet Kusama, has alerted users about a malicious Shibarium tech channel that is offering a fake airdrop. The SHIB Telegram admin account was compromised, and hackers used it to promote a non-existing token distribution. The issue has been resolved, with changed passwords and the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
Other Shiba Inu Scams
LUCIE, Shibarium’s Marketing Strategist, has warned that scammers may use the memecoin’s name and Shibarium’s logo for fraudulent projects. It is important to conduct proper due diligence before getting involved. Shibarmy Scam Alerts also advise caution when connecting wallets to unknown decentralized applications, as scammers can create deceptive Dapps resembling those related to Shiba Inu and other memecoins.
Additionally, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya has flagged the SHIB-related token Calcium (CAL) as having no future value. They emphasize that CAL was created solely for the purpose of minting and renouncing BONE.
