These impersonators or scammers often create accounts to provide misleading information to create doubt, misdirect to fake websites, request funds from users for an emergency or even obtain personal details that can be utilized maliciously.
“Shibarmy Scam Alerts” flags one such account that impersonated Digarch SHIB, a prominent Shiba Inu community member on Telegram.
