Shiba Inu investors are facing a growing threat as scammers exploit the ongoing volatility in the crypto market. According to Lucie, the SHIB ecosystem’s marketing lead, bad actors are using platforms like X to deceive investors with fake tokens and misleading promotions.
These scams are becoming increasingly common as market conditions worsen, making it easier for fraudsters to manipulate fear and greed. Lucie cautioned that not all these new tokens are created to be good and are just aimed at robbing investors.
They mostly offer quick payback, yet they are constructed to burn pockets and vanish into the air.

In addition to counterfeited tokens, fraud has also increased on X, which Lucie called a paradise of chaos. She pointed out that the bot and scam accounts are overwhelming the site, providing disinformation and advertising useless ventures.
This puts investors in a fix to differentiate between actual opportunities and orchestrated schemes.
Lucie called on investors to be mindful and not be overcome by impulse so that they do not become victims. She advised the SHIB community to ensure they checked all platforms and tokens before investing any money. In volatile markets, she said that all risks should be approached rationally and measuredly.
In these brutal market conditions, the only ones enjoying it are the malicious actors and clout chasers — milking lies just to monetize their platforms.
Of course we’ll see a new token launched every other day. New devs, same old shill gangs. Do what you want — it’s your money,…

Fraud Tactics Evolve as Bots and Deepfakes Intensify Threats on X
The rise of deepfake scams is adding another layer of concern. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently warned about the use of AI-generated videos in crypto fraud. These advanced techniques are making it harder for users to detect what is real, creating new challenges for crypto security.
Whereas scams are still on the increase, Shiba Inu has been able to take a good stand in the market. It is the 19th biggest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, and in spite of lackluster trading, it is performing better than some of its rivals.
Lucie’s warning is timely because fraud is spiking on social media. What she means is that SHIB investors should be attentive and think twice before putting their faith in one offer or promotion posted on X.
With scams escalating amid crypto market swings, SHIB investors are being targeted more than ever. Staying informed and cautious is essential for protecting funds in this unstable environment.
