The @susbarium X account has addressed the Shiba Inu community, giving them an important warning about a new scam project targeting SHIB enthusiasts.
This time, scammers are using a major Shiba Inu partner, the Bad Idea AI (BAD) project.
To secure SHIB holders, the post published by @susbarium contains signs that help to spot this scam and specific guidance on how to stay safe and secure one’s crypto from being stolen.
The scam targets the community by impersonating SHIB’s partner, Bad Idea AI, by using a fake portal, offering to claim fake BAD token rewards. Scammers are trying to trick crypto holders into connecting their wallets under false pretexts.
The @susbarium social media post shared three additional signs of this scam. This portal mimics the design of the official BAD website. It requests that users connect their wallets to the platform to verify BAD rewards. The last sign is that this website issues “misleading messages suggesting eligibility verification before claiming tokens.”
Therefore, @susbarium warns, it is important not to connect wallets to suspicious crypto web sites. The second rule is the necessity to “verify official announcements from trusted sources before making transactions.”
The last recommendation is that it is important to report scams to SHIB community moderators and warn other SHIB holders as well.
