JAKARTA - Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the crypto assets inspired by dogs, is on the rise among crypto enthusiasts. However, this popularity also caught the attention of fraudsters who tried to trick SHIB holders, the main token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

These fraudsters use various modes, such as admitting to providing airdrops or SHIB gifts for free, provided SHIB holders want to provide personal data, wallet keys, or their tokens. In fact, this is all a trap to steal their crypto assets.

To anticipate this, the Shiba Inu team has made various efforts to protect and educate the SHIB community. One of them is by giving warnings through their official X account.

Badminton, a member of the Shiba Inu team, appealed to the SHIB community not to believe false claims about SHIB's airdrop. He confirmed that no SHIB airdrops were ongoing, and all links or messages on behalf of the Shiba Inu team were fake.

They also invite the SHIB community to always contact the Shiba Inu team via the official Telegram or Discord, and do not carelessly click on links whose sources are not clear. In addition, he also reminded the SHIB community to check official accounts from the Shiba Inu team, such as the Sheboshis account, which is an NFT collection from Shiba Inu. These official accounts have a blue tick next to their name, and there is no misjalanment.

Shibarmy Scam Alerts, an account that provides information about fraud related to SHIB, also issued the same warning. According to this account, fraudsters often claim to be the official accounts of the Shiba Inu team, and try to attract followers by providing misinformation, directing them to fake websites, or even asking for personal data that can be misused.

Therefore, the SHIB community must remain vigilant and careful, and always verify the source and authenticity of each link or message they receive.
