Hey guys, just noticed some weird altcoins in my wallet that iv'e never heard of before...
Anybody here know anything about those?
google didn't come out with too much info...

1500 BOBx
666 refereum (?) its just a referral link
and 1 ETH ANONYMIZER

I don't remember registering to any of these airdrops
any help would be much appreciated!  ;D ;D

If they came from the legit smart contract addresses, lucky you! :D

I think you just received some spam tokens that are worthless. People try to insert their referral links into some contract names :D But maybe not all tokens are spam, because sometimes you receive free coin as an Ethereum holder!

some people also get token same as you get
they say it a random airdrop from bob repair

Be careful, nothing is for free, it’s either spam or dodgy business.

refereum (RFR) is on coinmarketcap you can sell on okex. price is 0.0133 on cmc

thank you everyone ;D ;D

These are only shit tokens. BOBx token is Bob's repair fake token, refereum only worth $0.012 atm, and 1 ETH annonymizer? What a really shit token.

No, it's not Bob's repair token. The real token is BOB.

can i just destroy them?
and i still dont know how i even got them

Looks like all of them are fake tokens, i also received bobx but that does not seem to be the real token as the token they sold in their ico was called bob, so i do not know what exactly is the purpose of these fake tokens, can anyone tell me how we can delete them from our wallet?

Same here. There are lots of shit tokens in my wallet and i dont send them to trash staying in my wallet.
May one they they will worth some money. They are free so no probleem for me. I will hold them all of my life.

If these tokens are the tokens of erc20.
Then you can sell them on a decentralized exchange.

I had one also. I have nous token. I don't know what that is. I can't remember any airdrop with that. I dont know if its worth anything.

I googled it and i see that its worth .00015 eth. I didnt see any information about which exchange sites they're available at. I am looking to sell them already

If the coins you received is worth something, its better you look for exchange sites you can sell it to then go ahead and sell them. Its free money.

You can't because the only party that can destroy the token is only the contract creator, But i don't even think if that will be possible to do. The only way to deleted your shittoken through send them all to the default ethereum address or burn it.
Someone has sent it randomly to the all of registered ethereum address in the network.

Same, I just receive some unknown token in my wallet. And will save them to my wallet, maybe someday it will be worth to sell

I am also, I have a lot of tokens here. but I will hold it because there is no harm I keep it. I'm sure one of them has a value that makes a profit someday.

I saw some of new tokens marked as spams when I check it with etherscan. Idk whether this will give a bad impact to the wallet or not but this sor sure very annoying.

I have these spam tokens too. I don't get what do they earn from doing this?

If you are aware about the recent hacks of the ether wallet then you should know that this could be another phishing attempt or trojan that may or may not compromise your wallet itself.

Its a simple fact that if you are getting something in your wallet which etherscan itself dont understand and there is no clue whats it all about then just report it to the MEW support. They will take the action if they get multiple reporting done against those coin.

You should take all the precautions steps for things which you dont understand. They are probably not airdrops.

Well if that's the case I think some are really giving free tokens without further notice I think this is for them to gain further hype for their projects and mostly freebies was like by everyone, And by doing this will simply raise awareness for this certain tokens and projects, But there are a bunch of scam ICO out there so be careful and yes it can be spam tokens that is really worthless.

Great, then take it as a gift from heaven. Take that money out and buy yourself something delicious.

If nothing comes up on google search about those tokens/coins then they are a scam 100%.Avoid any links that they may redirect you too.
Will steal your cookies or infect your system with malware's(if outdated).

You can see people whining about losing their ethers(and tokens), probably they were a victim of a similar trick.Be extremely careful, this is turning out to be the most common method being used by the hackers.

I also have a bunch of coins of unknown origin on my wallet. Just do not pay attention!

In your case, some of my friends also received anonymous tokens and they do some research and they found out this tokens they received known as shit token. But you can sell it and earn small amount. That's what you called BLESSING. ;D

That is so normal . I have some many "random" alts popping in my wallet .
You probably don't remember but you might have participated in one of its airdrop . There are two reasons why google are not showing any information about them .1) the coin is dumped already  2) the coin is still to be listed by the exchange .
If it is just a shit coin , it is going to stay in your wallet and you cannot do probably anything about it.                                         

Apparently they have been automatically cleared

As for me, I definitely remember the 1 ETH ANONYMYZER (or something) in the wallet. I took no action but today that's not there anymore.

No sign of transactions either
 

maybe your wallet is on their list as practice token sending through smart contract.
I heard some incidents and complaints before that's why some of the users are changing their wallets due to this kind of incidents.
I personally think it's still fine rather than some of your coins were stolen.
If I were you, change your MEW wallet and start over and you're fine.
