SHIB-affiliated X account “Susbarium/Shibarium Trustwatch” has issued a crucial scam warning to their community. The alert is regarding a post circulating on X social media that claims SHIB, BONE, and LEASH holders who have interacted with Shibarium’s official decentralized exchange (DEX), ShibaSwap, have unclaimed rewards expiring soon.
The post in question includes a suspicious link and a screenshot showing a supposed claim of over $6,500 worth of SHIB. This is equivalent to 449,671,393 SHIB coins. The scam alert has provided three reasons why this post is likely a phishing tactic:
1. Such urgency triggers as “claim ends soon” are common for scams.
2. Tiny URL links obscure the destination, making it harder to verify legitimacy.
3. No official Shiba Inu channels have announced such a reward drop.
To protect themselves from this scam, the SHIB community is advised not to click on unverified links received through emails or social media posts. They must also refrain from connecting their wallets to unknown dapps and ensure all announcements are verified using only official Shiba Inu channels. Additionally, users should be cautious of Telegram groups or X accounts that offer surprise airdrops, rewards, or free crypto giveaways.
In summary, the SHIB team has issued a scam alert due to a suspicious post circulating on X social media claiming unclaimed rewards expiring soon for holders of Shibarium tokens – SHIB, BONE, and LEASH.
