The official marketing expert of the SHIB developer team, who calls herself Lucie, has taken to the X social media platform to warn the Shiba Inu army against falling for this massive scam that is threatening them.
Another member of the SHIB team, Vet Kusama, retweeted her post, addressing the SHIB army with the same warning on his personal page. «Please take this announcement into consideration!» he tweeted.
«Friendly reminder about TREAT»
Lucie made a friendly reminder about the TREAT token that belongs to the Shiba Inu ecosystem – it has not been launched yet, she stated once again. Therefore, she added, anyone who claims the opposite is either spreading false information or scamming the SHIB community.
Please take this announcement into consideration!#StaySafe #ShibArmy Thanks @LucieSHIB 🫶🏻 https://t.co/p18vRYJZxE

In early September, Lucie made a similar warning as a wave of scammers who were offering a fake TREAT token to the SHIB community rose. Those con artists claimed that this Shiba Inu ecosystem reward token had been released and offered users a fake TREAT contract address, stealing their funds as some SHIB holders began connecting their wallets and using it.
