The Shiba Inu team has released an official statement regarding the 'scandalous' activities of crypto exchange CoinMarketCap on its Twitter handle on January 14, 2022. The SHIB team has informed crypto investors that the popular exchange has listed as many as three fake contract addresses for SHIB on its website.
"Please be aware that COINMARKETCAP has knowingly listed 3 fake contract addresses for SHIB. None of these 3 addresses (BEP20, SOLANA, or TERRA) are valid SHIB addresses and are unsafe to use," the statement read, according to SHIB Twitter handle.
The team has also warned investors not to interact or purchase SHIB tokens from these fake addresses. "Do not interact with these contracts. Do not purchase SHIB from this Address As your Funds will be irreversibly lost," the statement further read.
Moreover, SHIB in its official release has further claimed that CoinMarketCap has refused to communicate with the SHIB team on updates of the token page and allowed malicious actors to vandalise their listing.
Reminding that $SHIB is an ERC-20 token only and not a coin, the Shiba Inu team has asked investors and the SHIBArmy to stay alert. Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu breeds are currently working diligently to get this matter solved as soon as possible for SHIB investors.
