Fake BONE Airdrop via SHIB Telegram Admin Account Caution

5/10/2023

The SHIB Telegram admin account was compromised, resulting in the spread of a fraudulent BONE token airdrop announcement. Vet Kusama, a concerned community member, raised the alarm, emphasizing that there was no such token distribution and warning people not to click on any related links. This incident highlights the ongoing need for vigilance within the Shiba Inu community as scammers frequently impersonate legitimate projects and figures. Previously, Shibarmy Scam Alerts cautioned users about the risk of connecting their crypto wallets to unknown decentralized applications, as scammers create convincing Dapps resembling those associated with Shiba Inu and other memecoins. Additionally, bad actors often impersonate reputable projects and personalities to lend credibility to their fraudulent products. Shibarium's Marketing Strategist, LUCIE, advised potential participants in SHIB's ecosystem to conduct thorough due diligence, as scammers frequently misuse the memecoin's logo and Shibarium's name in their schemes.
