The Shiba Inu scam alert channel urges the community to stay vigilant against scams misusing the SHIB name. It stresses focus and caution amid a surge in deceptive practices targeting the Shiba Inu ecosystem and its dedicated community, known as the SHIBARMY. The alert highlights a troubling trend of individuals and projects misappropriating the SHIB name.
These entities often integrate SHIB into their branding or falsely present themselves as representing SHIB. Rather than celebrating SHIB’s achievements or promoting it meaningfully, they exploit the SHIB name to sell lesser-known tokens, leveraging the community’s trust for personal gain.
Emphasis On Vigilance
The scam alert channel emphasizes the importance of vigilance and focus. It features a message from Ryoshi, the anonymous founder of Shiba Inu, who underscores that Shiba Inu is unique and must be respected. According to Ryoshi, those who honor Shiba Inu are equals, while those who exploit it are scammers and should be exiled.

This alert is not the first warning from the Shiba Inu community. In April, Lucie, a prominent community member, cautioned the SHIBARMY against “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in the crypto realm. She stressed the importance of building a transparent and trustworthy ecosystem.
Previous Scams And Warnings
Last year, the community faced malicious emails sent to cryptocurrency exchanges, falsely claiming potential SHIB listings. The scam alert channel advised exchanges to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of such emails. Moreover, the community was warned about a compromised Satoshi Nakamoto account on the X platform.

The account’s unexpected activity generated excitement within the Shiba Inu community. However, a Shiba Inu admin later apologized for the notification, citing concerns about the account’s possible compromise. The Shiba Inu community must remain alert and cautious to protect against scams.
By staying vigilant and verifying information, the SHIBARMY can safeguard its ecosystem and maintain trust within the community.
