Notably, Susbarium shared a vital security tip that could help keep people safe.<\/span><\/p>\n – Advertisement –<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPlease exercise caution and always check the legitimacy of the content by contacting the sender\/us directly using verified contact methods to confirm the authenticity of the email,\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Susbarium noted.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8SHIBARMY WARNING:\ud83d\udea8@X<\/p>\n Please be advised that there are scam emails circulating. \u2014 Shibarmy Scam Alerts (@susbarium) October 11, 2023<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Furthermore, Susbarium urged users to only click on any link if they are certain it is from a trusted source.<\/span><\/p>\n The X handle of Susbarium also attached a screenshot of a malicious email sent by hackers to the Poloniex exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the screenshot, the attackers, who claimed to be from the Shiba Inu Business Development team, offered to list the Fantom Chain version of SHIB on Poloniex.<\/span><\/p>\n The scammers offered the sum of $160,000 to Poloniex for SHIB-related campaigns on the exchange. However, this will only happen after Poloniex successfully integrates the Fantom Chain version of SHIB into the exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n Susbarium\u2019s alert follows a previous warning from Shiba Inu\u2019s community admin, RagnarShib. As\u00a0<\/span>reported<\/span> yesterday, RagnarShib emphasized that Shiba Inu does not have a Fantom Chain version nor an official LinkedIn account.<\/span><\/p>\n He issued the warning after multiple exchanges complained they had been receiving offers from fake Shiba Inu team members to support the Fantom version of SHIB.<\/span><\/p>\n RagnarShib previously\u00a0<\/span>pointed out<\/span> that SHIB is only available on the Ethereum network while dispelling claims that the cryptocurrency has a version on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC).<\/span><\/p>\n Cybercriminals are always on the prowl to prey on unsuspecting crypto investors. These bad actors seem more interested in Shiba Inu due to the community-driven nature of the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n While hackers have been successful in\u00a0<\/span>stealing<\/span> funds from unsuspecting Shiba Inu investors in the past, the team behind the canine-themed crypto has recently been active in combating these attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n It frequently alerts users about potential scam antics. Shiba Inu also introduced Susbarium, a dedicated channel that helps identify various scams related to cryptocurrency.<\/span><\/p>\n So far, Susbarium has been making significant efforts to keep users safe. Last week, Susbarium\u00a0<\/span>highlighted<\/span> five distinct ways hackers can steal users\u2019 assets, including SHIB, LEASH, and BONE.<\/span><\/p>\n Follow Us<\/strong> on Twitter and Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n Disclaimer<\/strong>: This content is informational and should not be considered financial advice.
