Vital Scam Warning Made by SHIB Exec: ‘Scammers Are Everywhere’

The official Shiba Inu marketing lead, known under the pseudonym Lucie, has published an important message on her X account, warning the SHIB community against falling for multiple scams.

Lucie’s tweet comes right after another scam warning issued by an SHIB-affiliated account focused on scam alerts and warnings.

“Scammers are everywhere,” Lucie says

Pseudonymous SHIB executive Lucie warned the community to be careful. She said scammers are everywhere and that misinformation spreads quickly, particularly in the media.

Lucie said that scammers can often act by hijacking X accounts of influencers or celebrities, and “you never truly know who’s behind them” (those accounts). Lucie recommends that it is always necessary to verify any data source through the official website of Shiba Inu. She also offered to contact her directly by e-mail.

Be careful — scammers are everywhere, and misinformation spreads quickly, even in the media.
X accounts can be hacked or stolen — you never truly know who’s behind them, even if they have a yellow badge.

Always verify your sources through the official site…

Lucie concluded her tweet by saying that the crypto space may seem confusing and is full of scammers and fraudsters: “many people operate without any moral accountability.”

“Stay alert and trust only official channels,” she stated.

Shib army gets safety alert from SHIB team

On May 20, the Shibarium Trustwatch X account (@susbarium) also warned the SHIB community about scammers threatening them: “Scammers are on the prowl!”

In particular, the tweet underscored “fraudulent emails” that aim to trick SHIB holders into clicking links leading to fraudulent sites where either their crypto or personal data will be stolen: “they aim to steal your personal data or trick you into clicking harmful links.”

The tweet shared a list of steps that needs to be taken when one receives a suspicious email. First, it is necessary to check the sender’s email, since scammers “often mimic legitimate addresses.” Next thing, it is crucial that you do not click any links or open attachments they contain. It is also important to keep ones “passwords, seed phrases, and private keys “STRICTLY PRIVATE”.” No SHIB official would ever ask for that data. Besides, as Lucie mentioned, it is vital that you always verify information in those emails: “do a web search, visit official websites directly, and contact support through trusted channels.”

If anyone spot anything suspicious, the SHIB army should report it immediately, the tweet insists to “help keep the community secure.”
