ShibArmy Scam Alerts shares a few tips on recognizing phishing attempts, which include a suspicious sender, generic greetings, urgent requests, links and attachments, and spelling and grammatical&nbsp;errors.
In light of this, Shiba Inu holders are urged to take precautionary measures such as checking the sender's email address for inconsistencies or misspellings and being wary of emails that use generic greetings, such as "Dear User" or "Valued Customer." Users should also bear in mind that most phishing emails create a sense of urgency, demanding immediate action so that one does not have time to think logically, and they often contain spelling and grammatical errors.

In the event they suspect a phishing attack, Shiba Inu holders should take these three steps: first, they should never respond to the email or provide any information. The second is to report the phishing attempt to the appropriate authority. The third is to delete the email permanently.
