Another warning has been sent out to the worldwide SHIB army by the “Shibarmy Scam Alerts” account (@susbarium) on the social media X network. This warning is especially directed at users who use the Telegram app to get updates and other data on SHIB, Shibarium, and its ecosystem.
Additionally, @susbarium offered advice on how to be safe from scammers on Telegram.
SHIB warning/reminder for community
According to @susbarium, a lot of phoney groups are currently posing as legitimate SHIB-linked Telegram channels. These dishonest channels aim to trick viewers by promising unique content and other cryptocurrency prizes associated with tokens linked to Shibarium, such as BONE, TREAT, and SHIB. In addition, they target gullible SHIB users with a plethora of additional offerings, including phoney investment offers.
The X app post offers advice on how to protect one’s security, privacy, and personal information. SHIB members must first confirm the legitimacy of the groups they wish to join on Telegram. Searching for official verification badges or announcements about them on other platforms, provided by reputable and verified sources, is an excellent approach to do so.

Avoiding clicking on links that appear suspect in unsolicited communications or in questionable organisations is another crucial piece of advice. It is possible to download malware or be sent to phishing websites by following those links.
How to protect one’s personal details
Preserving one’s personal information safe from con artists is another crucial concern. It is advised to quit disclosing one’s wallet address in open Telegram chat groups and other places in order to do that.
For anybody holding bitcoin, it’s also critical to stay up to date on the latest security warnings and the best practices for ensuring online safety. According to the X article referenced above, “Knowledge is your best defence against cyber threats.”
In general, it is critical that all members of the SHIB community band together and cooperate “to keep the community safe and secure.”
The SHIB army received warnings from the same X account last week, cautioning them to be wary of phoney Telegram accounts that pose as SHIB head developer Shytoshi Kusama and his right hand, Kaal Dhairya.
The SHIB community was forewarned by @susbarium not to fall for those identities, since they offer false information and primarily aim to obtain users’ wallet addresses and personal information.
