What is this about?

Our chain ID, 88888 for the chiliz chain (symbol CHZ) is being used by another chain also, and when users add our network we see an SCAM message and are suggested the other chain's symbol:

RPC URLS: https://rpc.ankr.com/chiliz , https://chiliz-rpc.publicnode.com , https://rpc.chiliz.com

Scenario

Given a user When adding a new network manually Then

Metamask is suggesting the Symbol of another chain (dead chain with the same chainID)
Users see a scam warning when proceeding with a different currency symbol
