Beware! Shiba Inu and Coinbase Scams Exposed – What You Need to Know! 🕵️‍♂️

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read, But Honestly, You Should). 🧐

  • Criminal masterminds are turning up the heat with emails and profiles so convincing, you’d swear they were legitimate—until they steal your secrets instead of your crypto. 🕵️‍♀️💻

  • LUCIE, the daring marketing wizard behind Shibarium, shared her own story of being duped—because who doesn’t love an inspiring tale of getting scam-ged? Spoiler: scammers are sneaky and pretty convincing, so keep your guard up, folks!

Big Red Flag 🚩

The lovely folks over at Shibarium Trustwatch, a sort of digital bat-signal for Shiba Inu holders, recently sounded the alarm about a scam involving Coinbase. Imagine getting an email from someone claiming to be the Compliance team—sounds official, right? Well, don’t be fooled. It’s just another fancy facade designed solely to sieve out your personal info like a gold panner in a rushing river. 💼💸

“This is a scam designated to steal your personal information,” the Trustwatch team warned, probably with a sigh. 😒

So, if you get an email asking you to verify your details, don’t click! Instead, do the sensible thing—go directly to Coinbase’s official website or app, and share this warning with your fellow crypto enthusiasts. Better safe than sorry, or broke! 💳🚫

In more fun news, Coinbase recently admitted it got hacked—surprise!—affecting over 69,000 people and costing them a cool $400 million. 💥💸 The bad guys, it seems, had an insider at a contractor called TaskUs, who took a little peek at their workstation and then shared the loot with the wrongdoers, all in exchange for some shady greenbacks. Fancy that!

Want the gritty details? Check out our full exposé here. It’s about as pleasant as a wasp sting, but far more informative.

Old News? Never!

Weeks ago, LUCIE—the elusive marketing hero—warned the SHIB Army about her own brush with dastardly scammers. Apparently, even seasoned pros aren’t immune. She recounted her wallet being drained and the charming scammer who, with a smile and a native English accent, almost had her thinking they were friends. Almost. 🙄

“I am still haunted by the day my wallet was robbed,” LUCIE admitted, adding that the scammer was “so kind, so sympathetic”—which is probably code for “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

And if that wasn’t enough, scammers have been busy creating fake profiles on X (formerly Twitter) promising giveaways, exclusive content, or investment opportunities. As if free money grew on trees! Clearly, the scammers are recycling their tricks faster than you can say “fool me once.”

Stay alert. Stay safe. Or risk getting robbed—because, let’s face it, nobody wants to be the next cautionary tale on the internet.
