SHIB Scam Tracker Warns Of Telegram Scams
On June 8, the Shiba Inu scam tracker, Shibarmy Scam Alerts unveiled a new scam attack targeting the Shiba Inu community. According to its post on X (formerly Twitter), there has been a surge in fake Telegram channels promoting airdrops, token migration and other enticing offers which require users to connect their cryptocurrency wallets to gain free assets.
As a social media account dedicated to exposing scams and protecting the SHIB community, Shibarmy Scam Alerts has urged investors and traders to remain cautious of the ongoing scam attacks. The scam tracker disclosed that these Telegram schemes are malicious attacks designed to drain investors’ crypto assets, leaving them with severe financial losses.
In an effort to safeguard Shiba Inu’s community members, Shibarmy Scam Alerts has outlined strategic means to identify potential scam attempts. Usually, there are several red flags investors can look out for to recognize scam sites.
Shibarmy Scam Alerts has revealed that fraudulent sites often employ distinctive scam tactics to create a sense of urgency that pushes investors to engage with their sites.

Including countdown timers, most of these fake Telegram channels may impersonate legitimate Shiba Inu officials or accounts, offering large attractive rewards to tempt users and lure them into engaging their deceptive sites.
Verifying The Authenticity Of Crypto Offers
In its post, Shibarmy Scam Alerts outlined ways Shiba Inu community members can verify a crypto offer’s authenticity and protect themselves from the ongoing fake Telegram scams. The scam tracker urged investors and community members to always investigate and verify the authenticity of a Telegram channel and any offers they promote.

Shibarmy Scam Alerts has also stressed the importance of engaging with trusted individuals within the Shiba Inu community to confirm the validity of any suspicious websites and crypto offers. The scam tracker remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding Shiba Inu investors by diligently keeping them up to date on any suspicious scam activities.
