The Shiba Inu community received another stark warning that could prevent investors from becoming victims of fraud. The X (Twitter) member using the handle Vet Kusama warned there is a malicious Shibarium tech channel that offers a fake airdrop.
I just came across the fake shibarium tech channel. Please remember “NO AIRDROP”. Stay safe #ShibArmypic.twitter.com/T6VzaQ8rHE

Previously, they alerted the community that the SHIB Telegram admin account was compromised, and hackers have used it to promote another non-existing token distribution.
The team behind the popular memecoin quickly the issue. The account’s passwords have been changed, whereas the X profile has implemented a two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent another possible jeopardy.
Other Shiba Inu Scams in the Past Month
LUCIE – Shibarium’s Marketing Strategist – that wrongdoers might employ the memecoin’s name and the logo of the recently launched layer-2 blockchain solution Shibarium in their fraudulent projects. As such, they advised people to conduct proper due diligence before hopping on the bandwagon.
Shibarmy Scam Alerts – the X account dedicated to protecting from fraud – also the alarm, maintaining that individuals should pay special attention when connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to unknown decentralized applications.
The team suggested that scammers are “crafty” and can create Dapps that look identical to the original ones related to Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), Doge Killer (LEASH), and other memecoins.
Last but not least, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya alerted traders to stay away from SHIB-related token Calcium (CAL). The asset was created “only for the specific purpose to mint and renounce BONE” and will not have any future value, they insisted.
