Shib Army Shares Top DYOR Tips to Dodge Crypto Scams Like a Pro

Key Scam-Fighting Guidelines

• Practice Robust DYOR: Read project whitepapers, vet tokenomics (total supply, contract status, team credentials), and verify developer legitimacy. Even "doxxed" profiles can be impersonated.
• Watch for Impersonation & Fake Giveaways: Scammers often mimic trusted accounts in platforms like X/Twitter—claiming fake airdrops or token rewards. Always verify verification badges and follower count before engaging.
• Spot Phishing & Honeypots: Avoid clicking unsolicited links or connecting your wallet to unfamiliar websites. Honeypot scams often lock users’ funds in unwithdrawable contracts. Use tools like Token Sniffer or HoneyBadger to scan smart contracts early.
• Use Secure Practices: Store crypto in reputable wallets (preferably hardware or non-custodial), enable 2FA, and never share private keys.
• Report & Educate: Eyes open—if you spot a scam or impersonation, report it to platform moderators and share warnings in community forums. Swift action reduces risk for everyone. 

Why It Matters

• Scams on the Rise: With meme coins and airdrops gaining traction, scammers are targeting SHIB holders with high-volume impersonation and fake project scams.
• Vigilant Communities Guard Value: Messages from ShibArmy Scam Alerts and SHIB marketing lead “Lucie” reaffirm that caution and verification are crypto community necessities.
• Protect Your Crypto Journey: DYOR and proper tooling are your shield against evolving threats—especially advanced schemes like pig-butchering, phishing, and fake exchanges.

Final Take

Scams aren’t slowing down—and the SHIB Army’s advice is timely: be cautious, stay skeptical, and DYOR. Verifying sources, securing wallets, and spreading awareness keeps scammers at bay and strengthens the entire community.
