@susbarium also provided guidance on how to avoid being scammed on Telegram.
SHIB warning/reminder for the community
@susbarium claimed that many fake groups are now posing as real SHIB-linked channels on Telegram. These scam channels strive to trick users by promising exclusive content and various crypto giveaways related to SHIB, BONE, TREAT, and other Shibarium-related tokens. Furthermore, they offer fake investment opportunities and many other things targeting unsuspecting SHIB users.
The post published on App X contains guidance points on how to protect security, privacy and personal data. First of all, SHIB users need to verify the authenticity of the groups they want to join on Telegram. A good way to do this is to look for official verification badges or advertisements about them made by verified and trusted sources on other platforms.
Another important recommendation is to avoid clicking on links that seem suspicious of unsolicited messages or suspicious groups. By clicking on those links, one may be transferred to phishing websites or malware downloads.
How to protect personal data
Another important issue is keeping personal data safe from scammers. To do this, it is recommended to stop sharing your wallet address in public chat rooms on Telegram or anywhere else.
Staying informed about recent security alerts and the best ways to ensure online security is another important thing any cryptocurrency holder should do. “Knowledge is your best defense against cyber threats,” says the aforementioned X post.
Overall, it is important for the entire SHIB community to join forces and work together “to keep the community safe and secure.”
Last week, the same account
@susbarium warned the SHIB community not to be fooled by such accounts as they provide misleading information and have little other purpose than to obtain users’ personal data and wallet addresses.
