A recent alert from Susbarium, a security group focused on the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has warned users about fraudulent websites impersonating Shibaswap. These deceptive platforms are designed to steal funds from unsuspecting investors by tricking them into connecting their wallets.
Fraudulent Shibaswap Platforms Target Users
On March 18, Susbarium, also known as “Shibarium Trustwatch,” issued a warning about scammers creating fake Shibaswap websites. The security team urged users to remain vigilant, as interacting with these fraudulent sites could lead to significant financial losses.

While Susbarium did not disclose the exact nature of the fraudulent activities, such scams often involve wallet-draining schemes. These malicious sites prompt users to connect their cryptocurrency wallets, after which scammers gain unauthorized access and siphon funds. It is currently unclear whether any users have fallen victim to the scheme.
This is not the first time concerns have been raised about fake Shibaswap links. On January 13, an X account known as “Jack Fake-Killer,” which specializes in identifying phishing attempts, flagged similar scams. Lucie and the Shiba team have also issued similar warnings in the past.
How to Avoid Falling Victim to the Shibaswap Scam
The fake Shibaswap scam relies on subtle modifications to website URLs, making it easy for users to mistake fraudulent sites for legitimate platforms. Verifying the URL before accessing Shibaswap or connecting a wallet is essential, as the only official website is https://shibaswap.com.

Bookmarking a legitimate site can help prevent accidental visits to fraudulent ones, reducing the risk of falling for a scam. It is also important to avoid clicking on Shibaswap links shared in public forums or social media without verification, as scammers often use these platforms to spread phishing attempts.
Security tools such as Scam Advisor and Scam Sniffer can help users determine whether a website is authentic, offering an additional layer of protection against fraud. Another critical security measure is safeguarding wallet seed phrases, as no legitimate platform will ever request this information. Sharing a seed phrase with an unverified source could result in a complete loss of funds.
With phishing scams becoming increasingly sophisticated, crypto investors must exercise caution when interacting with decentralized platforms. Staying informed and adopting best security practices can help prevent financial losses and protect digital assets.
