According to U.Today, the 'Shibarmy Scam Alerts' account (@susbarium) on a social media network has issued a warning to the global SHIB army, particularly those who use the Telegram app for updates and data about SHIB, Shibarium, and its ecosystem. The account also provided advice on how to avoid scams on Telegram.
@susbarium revealed that numerous fake groups are currently impersonating legitimate SHIB-linked channels on Telegram. These fraudulent channels aim to trick users by offering exclusive content and crypto giveaways related to SHIB, BONE, TREAT, and other Shibarium-related tokens. They also present false investment opportunities and other schemes aimed at unsuspecting SHIB users.
The post published on the social media network includes guidance on how to protect one's security, privacy, and personal details. SHIB users are advised to verify the authenticity of groups they wish to join on Telegram. This can be done by looking for official verification badges or announcements made by verified and trusted sources on other platforms. Users are also advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links from unsolicited messages or in dubious groups, as these could lead to phishing websites or malware downloads.
Another crucial point is the protection of personal details from scammers. Users are advised not to share their wallet addresses in public chat rooms on Telegram or elsewhere. Staying informed about recent security alerts and the best ways to ensure online safety is another important step for any cryptocurrency holder. The post emphasizes that 'knowledge is your best defense against cyber threats.'
The SHIB community is urged to collaborate and work together to maintain safety and security. Last week, the same social media account issued warnings to the SHIB army, cautioning them about fake Telegram accounts impersonating the pseudonymous SHIB lead developer Shytoshi Kusama and his associate, Kaal Dhairya. @susbarium warned the SHIB community not to fall for these accounts, as they provide misleading information and are primarily aimed at obtaining users' personal data and wallet addresses.
