Watch Out for This Scam<\/h2>\n

The team behind Shibarmy Scam Alerts warned Shiba Inu (SHIB) users to be extra cautious when messaging dubious individuals on Telegram. <\/span>The working group <\/span>argued<\/span><\/a> that scammers had created fake profiles of admins and moderators on the application <\/span>with the sole purpose of conning<\/span> victims.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are using the BIO section to display the username, making their profiles look authentic at first glance,\u201d the warning reads.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team said SHIB developers will never contact users to provide support or fix any issues related to wallets. \u201cIf someone <\/span>reaches out to<\/span> you first, claiming to be an admin, it\u2019s likely a scam. Always verify by comparing usernames with those on official channels,\u201d they added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SHIB community <\/span>is urged<\/span> to stay vigilant when engaging with anyone claiming to be part of the team. Double-checking the username format and reporting any potential fraudulent activity were mentioned as vital tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the Shiba Inu team <\/span>issued<\/span><\/a> a similar warning for Telegram users. Specifically, they claimed that bad actors might seek personal and financial information from victims or even insist on sending funds to suspicious addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAvoid sharing personal data like address, phone number, or financial info. Legitimate entities won\u2019t request such details through Telegram DMs. Avoid Money Transactions. Never send money or cryptocurrencies based on Telegram requests,\u201d the working group advised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Previous Alert<\/span><\/h2>\n

Earlier this week, Shibarmy Scam Alerts <\/span>warned<\/span><\/a> the SHIB community to be careful when mysterious individuals offer them opportunities with the Treat token. The team reminded that the meme coin has not yet seen the light of day:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a reminder that some groups are pushing a fake Treat token claiming to be part of the Shiba Inu Ecosystem. <\/span>Please\u00a0<\/span>remember,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span> official Treat token has NOT\u00a0<\/span>been released<\/span> yet.<\/span> Any token claiming otherwise is a scam designed to deceive you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The developers promised to <\/span>come up with<\/span> an official announcement once the token goes live.<\/span> \u201cIf you\u2019re unsure about any information or token, always verify through trusted sources within the Shiba Inu Ecosystem,\u201d they added.<\/span><\/p>\n
