Major Scam Alert Issued by SHIB Team: Fake Bitget Web3 Email Targets Crypto Users

X account @susbarium, which is affiliated with the Shiba Inu team and regularly spots cryptocurrency scams, has warned the community about a new one targeting not only the SHIB army but the crypto community in general.

This time, scammers are impersonating the major cryptocurrency exchange Bitget in their fraud scheme.

Fake Bitcoin Web3 email from scammers

In a recent tweet, the aforementioned X account spread the word about an “email from Bidget Web3”, which offers users to claim BWB airdrop points. Those emails are a scam, warned @susbarium.

The tweet shares certain details of those fake emails, in particular saying that the con artists are using the following buzz phrases to bait crypto users: “Secure early airdrop points”, “Multichain gas fee coverage”, and Access to Launchpad & GetDrop”.

There is a link included in the email and labelled as “claim airdrop.” @susbarium warns that it must by no means be clicked since it is not safe.

They added two more general signs by which one can tell that an email was sent by scammers – it includes either of these phrases: “Hello Valued Customer” and it comes from “noreply@resova.com.”

Overall, the X post notes that the SHIB community should always remember the safety of investment/airdrop offers they get and beware of certain things. Number one: “If it looks too good to be true… sniff twice, click never.” Number two: “Always check the official channels. Always verify.”

SHIB burns soar 2,204%

According to the data shared by the prominent wallet tracking service Shibburn, over the past 24 hours, the SHIB community has managed to lift the important SHIB metric – token burns, giving it a four-digit rise.

In the past day, the growth has constituted 2,204.69%. This was possible thanks to the transfer of a significant SHIB amount to unspendable blockchain wallets – 3,579,805 SHIB.

3,285,714 SHIB were shoveled to a dead-end wallet in a single transfer roughly nine hours ago. Overall, by now, the SHIB army has managed to burn a total of 410,751,445,214,265 SHIB coins from the initial supply of one quadrillion since early 2020.
