Shiba Inu community gets warning
Shibarmy Scam Alerts, an X account dedicated to protecting the Shiba Inu community and uncovering scams, has issued a critical warning to the Shiba Inu community. It states that certain links on CoinMarketCap are redirecting unsuspecting users to fraudulent Discord servers, where they are prompted to connect their wallets for purported verification before gaining access to the server.
Users are cautioned to be vigilant because this method allows unauthorized access to wallets, potentially exposing them to a loss of funds.
Shiba Inu users are encouraged to verify the legitimacy of Discord servers by researching projects from numerous sources and ensuring consistent information. They should also be cautious, double-checking URLs before clicking on any links, and refrain from connecting their wallets without first completing comprehensive verification.
