The Shiba Inu team has issued a critical alert regarding scams specifically targeting its token holders, especially on platforms like Discord.
Nature of Scam Threats
Scams involving impersonation and phishing have become a pressing concern for Shiba Inu token holders. The team continuously monitors cases where malicious actors attempt to deceive users through unverified communication channels.
Community Response from Shiba Inu
Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, frequently updates the community about the threat level through her social media accounts, emphasizing the need for caution. The Shibarium Trustwatch also plays a vital role in identifying and reporting scam activities within the community.
Warnings and Advice for Users
