Kusama’s tweet highlights an ongoing issue within the cryptocurrency world: the rapid spread of misinformation. His directive underlines the importance of distinguishing between verified and unverified information, urging community members to rely only on officially retweeted or shared endorsements by him.
The need for such caution has become more pronounced following reports from the ShibArmy Scam Alerts, a focused Twitter account for the Shiba Inu community, earlier in August. The account noted an increase in tokens and projects falsely claiming affiliation with the Shib market.
In response, the Shiba Inu team advises holders to confirm the legitimacy of any project or partnership through the official Shiba Inu website. Projects not listed on the official site should not be considered part of the official Shib ecosystem.
Furthermore, the Shiba Inu community has been the target of numerous scam attempts, exploiting the cryptocurrency’s rising popularity. Scammers and impersonators often create fake accounts on platforms like Discord to disseminate false information, direct users to malicious sites, or extract personal information for fraudulent purposes.
The ShibArmy Scam Alerts has cautioned the community against these deceptive tactics, emphasizing that official moderators or admins on platforms like Discord or Telegram will never initiate contact regarding support.
