The Shiba Inu community is on high alert, warning users about a rise in scams exploiting the popularity of the SHIB token. The Shiba Inu scam alert channel recently issued a message urging users to stay vigilant against deceptive practices that misuse the SHIB name.
This scam alert comes amidst a broader trend of deceptive tactics within the cryptocurrency space. However, the Shiba Inu ecosystem and its dedicated community, known as the SHIBARMY, seem to be a particular target.
The core message from the Shiba Inu community is clear: “SHIBA is SHIBA.” The alert highlights how some individuals and projects are inappropriately using the SHIB name for their own benefit.
These entities often incorporate “SHIB” into their branding or falsely claim an association with Shiba Inu. However, a key red flag is their lack of genuine support for SHIB. These scammers rarely celebrate SHIB’s achievements or contribute meaningfully to its growth. Instead, they leverage the community’s trust in the SHIB name to promote their own lesser-known tokens.
The Shiba Inu community emphasizes the importance of staying focused and cautious. They reference a message from Ryoshi, Shiba Inu’s anonymous founder, who stressed the unique identity of Shiba Inu and the need for respect. Ryoshi’s message differentiates between those who celebrate SHIB and those who exploit it – the latter being considered scammers and unwelcome in the community.
This isn’t the first time the Shiba Inu community has faced such challenges. Back in April, a prominent member, Lucie, warned the SHIBARMY about “wolves in sheep’s clothing” within the crypto space. This highlights the community’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency and trust within the ecosystem.

The community also has a history of dealing with specific scams. Last year, they exposed malicious emails targeting cryptocurrency exchanges with fake SHIB listing announcements. Additionally, they cautioned users about a potentially compromised account posing as Satoshi Nakamoto on platform X.
By staying informed and vigilant, the Shiba Inu community aims to protect itself from those who aim to exploit its success.
