All SHIB Stolen by Fake Shytoshi Kusama Scam Wallet from Prominent Shiba Inu Holder: Details

Twitter account @theshibdream has tweeted a complaint and a warning that it has fallen for a recently emerged scam account impersonating Shytoshi Kusama and lost all their SHIB tokens. Last year, the people behind this account launched a SHIB VIP Social Network.

All SHIB tokens stolen by Shibarium scam wallet

The aforementioned Twitter handle said that it had made a mistake by connecting its wallet to what proved to be a scam Shibarium website shared on the fake account impersonating Shytoshi Kusama, the leader of the SHIB developers and of the SHIB army.

@theshibdream referred to a tweet posted by the fake Shytoshi account, which advised users to link their wallets “for private access to our Beta launch.” Soon after that, all SHIB from the wallet of @theshibdream were gone. The user warned the SHIB community to always check links very carefully before connecting their wallets through them.

As reported earlier today, Shytoshi had responded to a tweet posted by another SHIB army member, who also warned the community of this crypto scam. The name of the scam account resembles the real one of Shytoshi with just a one-letter difference.

Kusama said that in order not to fall for such a scam, SHIB holders should always see if the blue verification check is there. Besides, the number of people who follow the real Shytoshi Kusama is over 901,000, while the scam account has merely 13,700 subscribers.

SHIB regains most-traded-token position
