Shibarium Trustwatch Warns of a New Threat
The Shibarium Trustwatch team has once again alerted the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community to a new scam. This time, scammers are targeting users by asking them to send emails containing information about the SHIFU meme coin.
"Scammers are asking people how to buy and claim SHIFU or if the token has appeared in their wallet," the warning states.
Team's Advice: Stay Vigilant
The team strongly advises users not to send emails to anyone and to verify all information only through official channels. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of protecting personal information and avoiding sharing it with unverified sources.
What Is SHIFU?
SHIFU is a new dog-themed meme coin connected to the Shiba Inu community. The token was introduced by Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer, earlier in December. While it is available for trading on certain decentralized exchanges, major platforms like Binance have yet to list it.
Special SHIFU Token Airdrop
This week, the team initiated a special SHIFU token airdrop, with 30% of the total supply (30 billion SHIFU) to be distributed among the community:
22 billion SHIFU will be given to users holding at least 100,000 SHIB and 100 BUBBLE.2 billion tokens will be allocated to LEASH holders.1 billion tokens will go to lucky BONE holders.
The remaining 70% of the supply will be used for other purposes, including liquidity, public presale, treasury, and marketing initiatives.
Previous Warnings from Shibarium Trustwatch
Scams targeting the Shiba Inu community are not new. Last month, the team warned users to avoid shady individuals offering services involving SHI and TREAT meme coins, which are not yet active.
The team recommended following official accounts on X, including those of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, Kaal Dhairya, and Treat, to avoid falling victim to false information.
Protecting Against Scammers
A few weeks later, the team exposed another scam where bad actors impersonated Shytoshi Kusama to promote fraudulent tokens in fake groups.
The warning stated:
"Always verify the authenticity of any group or token before participating. Stay vigilant and protect yourself and others from these scams."
The Shiba Inu community is once again urged to exercise caution and rely on official sources to prevent any losses.
