Scam alert: Fake Shiba Inu airdrop threatens holders

An X account claimed a Shiba Inu airdrop was “back,” urging users to complete a wallet verification and click a link that was flagged as a scam.

Community member Marzael.shib labeled the scheme a “drainer” and warned against clicking or reporting the post.

X account BSCN added that connecting wallets and signing approvals can let scammers transfer tokens without a password.

The meme coin’s price fell nearly 12% over the past week, now trading around $0.000005163, 95% below its late‑2021 peak, but the decline aligns with broader market weakness, not the warning.

CryptoQuant data shows Shiba Inu coins on exchanges dropped to a near one‑month low of roughly 87.2 trillion, potentially easing immediate selling pressure.

Key safeguards: never click shortened links, always type the official Shiba Inu site address, and never share private keys or seed phrases.
