Scammers Use Fake Wallets to Defraud SHIB Holders

The Shiba Inu community is the latest target of a new fraud that has just gone viral, according to an alert.

Criminals are attempting to defraud SHIB holders by posing as legitimate wallet companies like MetaMask and Ledger via fake landing pages.
