A fake Twitter account impersonating Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu (SHIB), has scammed members of the SHIB community. The account, @ShytoshiKsusama, is very similar to the real handle, @ShytoshiKusama, and has deceived people who couldn't spot the difference. The impostor lured victims with promises of priority access to the Beta Launch of Shibarium, a link that leads to a site providing unwarranted access for the impostor. People who clicked the link lost all their virtual assets. @Theshibdream, a prominent member of the community, also lost all his SHIB holdings. The community is warned to carefully check links before clicking on them.
