A Shiba Inu team recently took to Twitter to alert the community about a scam impersonating the project's official Telegram channel. In June, the channel warned users about the presence of fake Telegram accounts impersonating Shiba Inu ecosystem team members. It also cautioned the community to remain vigilant and double-check the official status of any channel or account before trusting its claims. Pay close attention to usernames, member counts, and post history.
How to Stay Safe:
- Always Verify: Ensure you are interacting with the official Shiba Inu Telegram channel. Look for the verified checkmark and double-check the URL.
- Never Share Private Keys: The Shiba Inu team will NEVER ask for your private keys or seed phrase. Keep these secure!
- Be Skeptical of Airdrops: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Exercise extreme caution with airdrops and token migration offers.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter a fake Telegram channel or suspect a scam, report it immediately to the Shiba Inu team and Telegram.
Protect your SHIB! Stay informed and vigilant against these increasing Telegram scam attacks. The Shib Army must work together to combat these fraudulent activities and ensure a safe community for all.
