Many people are currently losing some tokens from their wallets or unknowingly getting stuck in another wallet. Have we ever wondered why this is happening from someone's wallet? The main reason is hack. Hackers are banging the tokens through their surveillance. Any small amount or big. If you ever notice some tokens in your wallet that are being added without your knowledge.I'm going to swap or sell your token without thinking about where the token came from. Never do that. Because hackers put their tokens in your wallet and when you go to swap or sell the token without seeing the token, hackers like the token. Remove from your wallet. Some tokens that you will never swap or sell-

Is there any way to remove these tokens from the wallet?

Is this just an annoyance thing? Afaik they can't cost you more than the fees you pay to attempt to swap it unless they have access to your machine or something.

Also, per the question, it depends on the type of wallet you're using but for metamask you can just highlight the token and remove it that way.

I have a few of them in my wallet I search them but all of them are fake or some of them are real but they forcing you to invest on their cloud mining site with your token but with BNB fees(So it's still likely a scam).
Not worth swapping them, it cost you more than the value of that tokens.

Just ignore them it won't affect your wallet it's just like an advertisement spreading to any wallet they find on the BSC.

Such tokens are usually sent for advertising purposes and you won't lose anything other than the transaction fee when swapping them. But that hasn't always been the case.
Read the following article for more information.

Creative attacker steals $76,000 in RUNE by giving out free tokens (https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/112339/creative-attacker-steals-76000-in-rune-by-giving-out-free-tokens)

I thibk they can send it all they want but they can only do watch the wallet growing without anything happening on it. I dont think sending tokens to your wallet could make you hacked by them. Yes they can see your wallet, but thats it. They cant hack it unless they aquire your seed phrase to transfer your funds.

Send to burn address. Much better ignore it.

I don't agree with you. I used their exchange link to do a sweep of this token. The token was not swapped then. Later I saw that the FRX token in my wallet was sent to someone's wallet. Who sent the token. I think it was due to swapping the token

This is the first time I hear about this particular case. From the article, it's clear that it's a smart contract exploit that can't be abused to empty your whole Ethereum address and was designed only to attack a particular contract. That of RUNE (whatever that is). And the only reason it can do that is because RUNE doesn't use standard ERC-20 contracts. Instead they use a vulnerable non-standard contract.  The worst thing is that the developers were aware that something like this could happen. Maybe they are the ones exploiting it, who knows.

Greed is why people lose money this way and I think they deserved it, why trying to sell something you don't work for? You don't join any airdrops you don't join any bounty promotions and yet you received free tokens? You should be smart enough to know that senders are up to something

I also received some fake tokens sent in my wallet, for me this is very annoying because it pollutes the wallet I have. but what makes me wonder, when did the fake token enter my bsc wallet?, why is it not in the Eth wallet?

Me too I receive that fake BSC tokens, but I think it will not cause any harm to your wallet because that was only visible since it was sent to your wallet address unless you made any mistake that exposed your wallet keys and password or even phrase so for the better just let it there and hide it from displaying but some airdrop that was sent to my address has some value but not that big. like $2-3 dollars so don't waste your time to bothering those fake tokens in your wallet just let them rot.   

Hackers and scammers will always look for ways to get users, and the approach they use most times is the greed nature of humans, that is, they know that once some people see such tokens in their wallets, the first step would be to know where it is trading and possible ways to swap it without knowing that, it was planned and once they take the step to swap such tokens, their wallets will be hacked. To make matters worst, most times some of these mobile wallets will display an unrealistic price of the token which is always very high, thus increasing the urge for the person to sell.
Lastly, on the creation of most wallets now, once a transaction is done on such wallet, maybe receiving a token from another wallet, some of these scam tokens will be sent almost immediately.
So, it means we have to be very careful of the tokens we swap, and most importantly do not swap tokens you have no idea of. Don't bother sending them out or interacting with them most especially since it's a scam token just hide the tokens from your displaying in your wallet, or you can create a new wallet and move out all your tokens.

You can't view this shit tokens without adding the contract  address of the coins to your wallet. You can just see it when viewing directly on blockchain tracker website. Don't waste time and transaction fee by removing it because your wallet is still safe and this coins won't appear to your wallet automatically so just ignore them.

I don't read the attached thread but the garbage tokens are all faked/dummy coins. I received tons of it on my wallet that has BNB and ETH for a long time that I'm using on different airdrop before.

yes, I have a few token from on your list but my friends say that these tokens are fake. when I went for swap these token they said they will not swap in this exchange they gave me site and said go and connect your wallet in this site then you can swap these token. bit my friends said if you connect your wallet in this site your wallet will be hack then I didn't connect.

This havkers are just developing new techniques as the days goes by and thanks for this update safeguarding our wallets and watching bout for strange tokens that we didn't add to our wallet should be a watch out for. But would we ever get free from this malicious havkers I wonder why the derive pleasure causing others pains

Theres a method in Ethereum where you can burn junk coins inside your wallet like 888,888 KICK tokens. But it will cost you a little. I am pretty sure that theres an equivalent method under BSC people who tried to withdraw the money will end up losing more BNB.

in my wallet there are some of them like ever, vera and mineralium. at first before I knew this was a hoax I was happy because I saw the price which was indeed impressive but after further research and seeing some information from several sources and forums I became panicked and felt disturbed by this token.
I was worried about my wallet and ended up moving some of my tokens and coins from there.
traps like this are indeed very dangerous because if this happens to beginners and indeed greedy people of course this becomes a very dangerous thing, most likely it is indeed losing their money.
but perhaps the most probable anticipation at this time is to leave this token and not try to tamper with it, but we can also secure our assets first such as being transferred to a different wallet because even though the token was not tampered with but it does not rule out that our assets have been safe from the traps of these evil thieves

You can remove those by transferring to another wallet but do you mind to pay for the higher fee lately if it's on Ethereum network? I don't think that there's an urgency for you to do that with your wallet but you can just ignore it and keep using that wallet.
But if you find it bad to look at those tokens sitting in your wallet, abandon that wallet and transfer the legitimate balance you have on that wallet so it's going to be an abandoned wallet with those fake tokens.

Been having the same kind of issue on my Tron wallet because everytime I get a transaction this TRC-10 tokens are being airdropped on my end but so far I kept on ignoring them, it's a waste of time. Tronlink wallet seems to have this option to delete the ticker but doesn't necessarily mean that it gets out on your wallet forever, it stays there unless you sent it out on other address may burn address or not.

Though both still the same, both need higher gas fee if those tokens are erc20 or eth related tokens. The most recommended is to ignore those tokens since mostly those doesnt have much value just a spam transactions for their scheme.

You ain't seen nothing yet, some tokens will show good value just to lure the greedy ones, the best thing is don't even think about spending what you don't work for, ignore the tokens and don't bother claiming or trying to sell them there's always a higher trap in place

I also received it on my wallet but to be realistic why are doing that, what is there gain by scamming someone invest that's insane, though they will get to some greedy people who get free token on the wallet they don't work for.
My advice is that let just becareful and be vigilant.

Recently I also got them on my bsc network using trust wallet there's a lot of tokens seen, it's more like spam tokens that existed on the network.
Technically they're considered as fake or unrealistic asset without any selling value or real time demand.
We should be careful on dealing with these tokens, because hackers could use our personal information or any other access if ever we're going to do transactions on our wallet.
Just neglect those possible tokens seen on your wallet, it won't hamper your safety unless you're having an attempt of selling them.

Yes, so true!

And agreed, lately this targeted attack has become more frequent. Usually though you can spot it because when you look at your token in Etherscan/BSCscan you see a direct link to some dodgey website. In any case, for sure don't spend these randomly aidrropped tokens - it will cost you lots in the long run.

There are basically two reasons why you can receive those tokens, the first one is that developers of those coins are trying to scam people by making them think that they got free tokens and once they want to exchange them they need to pay more money than what the tokens are worth.

But another reason is that if you have a high amount of capital in a single address then they may try to send those tokens to try monitor your address, which is a really bad sign because that means that they have you in their radar and they may try to hack you eventually, so you need to be very careful if that happens to you.

Nah you cant, Since it's didn't allow any transaction to other address then it's just going stay there, It's really annoying to be honest too loking some of that sitting on my wallet, I hope Bscscan will add features like Etherscan where it's not will show this token especially on the list. Also for some of you maybe still didn't know, It was originally called dust attacks and never interact with the Web3 website that listed on this fake tokens otherwise you will lose your assets.

Huge issue for sure.

I've seen exactly this happen on the forum many times before. People asking for collateralised loans only to send fake tokens as collateral.

Always check the smart contract address when you're dealing with ERC20 tokens as there is a good chance if you're receiving tokens from newbies, it is fraudulent.

Such tokens and sent dust tokens don't matter on my wallet for me personally, better to ignore it. If you wanna get rid of the dust tokens, just send them all to the ETH 0x0000 token burning address of Etherscan. (IIRC)
Btw, be careful with the phishing token contracts and never ever enter your personal details especially your private key in case of the website link sent to you by random people. Nowadays, fake token owners use social media on daily basis to hunt inexperienced crypto users with fake projects and tokens.

Well right and the best thing to do is ignore this in your wallet and I think there is nothing to lose if you are not sending it into another wallet.
I have many fake tokens in my wallet and I received this on airdrop last year, most of them are not available in the market. We should learn this kind of lesson that the fact faucet now is wasting our time, we should learn how to find on our own and avoid not to fall on this kind of fake activity. As long as you are sending in the right exchange wallet and use open source wallet, you are safe.

Actually this is a big scam, scammer using bsc wallet not using Eth wallet due to high fee. Greedy persons are always a victim of scam. As per my advise don't connect you wallet with the scam token website other wise your wallet will be empty. Don't add this token in your wallet if its in bscscan then its ok no issue. My question is same how to remove these token.

As you can't remove these tokens, just ignore them and don't mistakenly connect your wallet as it may incur loss of funds. Also, for example the EVER token, I have no idea why I also received this, but upon viewing the contract, there is warning statement already. So before being excited that you got free tokens that you can sell, investigate first. Doing quick research won't hurt rather than losing your funds from your wallet.

We must always check the authenticity of the tokens that we will buy on other platforms such as BSC because there are many tokens in BSC with the same name but different smart tokens from the original and I also bought the wrong token on the BSC platform so that the token just becomes trash in my wallet and can not be used as anything because the token will not undergo further development.

I also have these coins in my active BSC wallet they all have the same features,  claim or buy button be careful on something you receive as airdrops that do not offer a channel or social media site to ask about their intention, all their social media icon on the bottom of their homepage are either not clickable or lead you nowhere, all of them have the same feature they only differ on the template, I suspect they are of the same owner.

Before I participated in any airdrop I check their channels so I can see if they are hype coins, and developers are always present to update their project, these airdrops do not so be very careful  

Hm, I wonder how this is possible. So, you are telling us that these tokens somehow interact with swap contracts and change them in such a way that this operation leads you to... what? losing your funds? Just gas or other tokens stored on this wallet?

There is no problem with things like this because I also receive many warnings and in the process always protect personal information. I see some people say that they have lost money doing transactions with the above, and most of them are newbies who have no experience in this field, and they also think that it is also free money.

token trap in my opinion,, they purposely sent scam coins all of a sudden..... and ordinary people here will be tempted to see the coin swap value is so large.... if trapped will immediately agree and swap.. the side effect is that the balance will automatically send itself to the address of the scam coin maker.. , a little handling, there are some tips to avoid scam coin traps, including: - don't be easily tempted - if you already use the unrekt tool as soon as possible, to get out of all these problems... - if you use multisignature, it's definitely safe....

I also have a some of those tokens from your list in my wallet and i was already wondering where they are coming from. I also heard stories recently from users that said they wanted to sell one of those coins on pancake swap and then somehow other legit coins from their wallet also disappeared or where sent somewhere else even though the user never sent them himself. I don't know if that is true or theoretically possible but i could imagine if you interact with one of those coins on pancakeswap for example that it also gets control over your wallet because your wallet has to be connected in order to be able to trade on pancakeswap.

I also received The Ever token in my bsc wallet, but I ignored it for fear of negative things happening, previously I never participated in any airdrop but the token landed smoothly in my wallet, I have also searched for their information on telegram and their group is active.

From the last couple of months I also receiving this kind of scam tokens in my wallet I have realized from the start that this is another cheap attempt of scammers to do scam that's why I totally ignore this kind of scam tokens I think this is the best way to keep your wallet secure, we must avoid these kind of scam tokens and never try to sell or swap them on unknown sources.

I also often get a lot of fake cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency wallet, but I just don't pay attention to it, since it is very difficult to fight with it and it is not even worth to do something with these fake cryptocurrencies, as you will constantly receive different fake cryptocurrencies, but if you want to do something with these fake cryptocurrencies, you can simply create another cryptocurrency wallet and just send all fake cryptocurrencies there, but you will have to spend a lot of time for it, as I know that many people receive a lot of fake cryptocurrencies every day.

Lately, it seems that many people have experienced the same thing as you.
I myself also experienced this there were some coins that entered my wallet,
Of course this kind of thing is quite worrying because we don't know where it came from

I got some of the tokens mentioned here and I was really wondering where did they come from and how I got them in the first place. Then I found out they are just fakes and maybe sent to me so they do some business out of it or maybe they got a program that can scam me if ever I would move them elsewhere especially to an swapping or exchange. So the best thing to do with it never do anything. I am using TrustWallet...am hoping there can be a choice in TrustWallet to never accept these fake tokens.

They seem to have a very good value if you import them into pancakeswap but the approval of the token doesn't goes through. A few who went through the claimed website through name or address has claimed of providing the approval which has drained their own balance rather than being able to exchange it. I don't have a proper proof but I didn't feel like trying it myself. There are different types of approvals and people should keep these as low as possible.

I also receive these coins and am afraid if by mistake anytime I connect it I might lose my other precious coins in my wallet even I also wanted to know how to remove or hide them. We must not try to sell those coins that landed in our wallet that is not in our knowledge. We must double-check the coin whether we buy it or is it a bounty token if not aware of the coin must not connect to the wallet in any case to avoid the hacking of Ac.

its funny that majority of them has ".io" in their names .
 that is pretty obvious that they are scam or fake if you will see it in your wallet . they are harmless as long as you didnt touch them and i heard that the way to remove them is by buying 1 token of them in the exchange where they are listed .
the other way could be sending them to a random address or to a burn address .

These token can also be hidden. I am tired if these scam tokens. Now 30+ scam token in my account.
Some one tell me that if anybody connect wallet to these scam web, their wallet got empty.
And big problem is that , in pancakswap its showing high price.

after 4 years in crypto i was almost believe this scam , i think this shit needs to be taken care of bsc , it scares newcomers and this problem effects all ecosystem

You should be aware of all the coins or tokens that are coming to your wallet, I consider these unwanted coins tokens to be risky, remember the shit token kicktoken they sent to many wallets, it's a way to promote their shit token and exchange, these tokens do now have value at all look at every token in your list they don't have a channel or even an announcement thread here, they are promoting it through spamming which is a wrong way to promote a coin.

You can transfer these tokens to another wallet while the fee is still very cheap if you are annoyed with these tokens.

This is a very bad for the crypto industry. This confirms similar experience that I encountered which I posted few days ago in the topic:  The other side of DApps: How Safe are DApps? (see link to post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5356199.new#new). The coins I mentioned are all listed). The awareness is growing, which is good. It is really important to research if one notices something out of place in his or her wallet. Avoid using the fake coin website to link to your wallet to swap, you might lose the coins in your wallet . If you intend to give it a trial, ensure to use standard websites like Pancakeswap, etc.

The ease of token creation on BSC network is a double edge for the users, many good projects have been created but also there are so many scam projects.
This is not new actually, ERC-20 tokens have the same problems before. For people who joining airdrops or even the people who dont, they were receiving random tokens with no value and become a trash in their wallet. This is hard to handle, we could not remove the tokens just could be hidden.
Maybe in the future deleting token feature is needed instead of transferring it to another wallet

These days some scammers are making fake bounty campaigns and giving fake tokens.  So there is no way to know which is the real bounty and which is fake. Those who are new are reading more about this problem.  One thing you have to see all the time is who the manager of Ai Bounty will check with his BTC form profile, whether he is really fake or original.  If it is fake then you must see that it has no merit at all and the position is in Newby.  And they scam by making fake bounty campaigns.
 And that's why you get fake tokens.  And of course, if you get a fake token, you should check it first and see if it is fake by searching on Coingecko.

 And everyone beware of scammers.  And trusts who sell tokens or dollars will only deal with them.

 Thank you for your BTC journey.

i using trust wallet and i did not check it for long time, most provably last week i checked my wallet in bscscan but i was surprised i had 3 coins but before i got reminder in form and i confirmed these are received from malicious contract address.

I also saw some of those tokens in my wallet, but I left them there and didn't make any transactions with them.
If you are worried about your wallet being hacked then you can transfer the contents of your wallet to another wallet, make sure you don't plan to sell and sign the token when you want to sell it on the dex exchange, because the transaction will surely fail and you will see a Contract Overview - Fake_Phishing when you make a transaction

wow, I've never heard of that, and this is the first time I found out, thanks for the information you've shared, it seems this is one of the many ways that hackers do and this is the most common thing, I myself do get various tokens in my wallet, from valuable to worthless, and I will be more careful, thanks mate!

Thank you for pointing that out, the ways in which the scammers tries to out think is mind boggling and the developers need to understand these flaws and the reason for executing the attack is RUNE using non standard contract. I would say incompetent developers launching their tokens without much testing and the hackers are doing their job exploiting them :-\.

Fake tokens are a risk factor in wallets, because the price of fake tokens is so high that many people are confused and try to make money by swap and some scammers hack the wallet with fake tokens.  As a result, it became possible to lose everything due to some fake tokens by working hard.

same with me, i got those three coins on my trust wallet too. it's a scam token. if you connect your wallet on their website, you'll lose some of your assets from trustwallet. it happens to my friends. they lost their BUSD and more. i suggest you to revoke all those token Smart Contracts.

My wallet has received fake token:
BestAir.io (AIR)
BNBW.IO (BNBW)
Minereum BSC (MNEB)
AirStack.net (AIR)
TheVera.io (VERA)
ABFIN.ORG (ABFIN)

this fake token is very annoying. scammers take advantage of the ease of creating assets to deceive users. I hope chain technology developers like ETH, BSC, POLYGON, and TRON create a filter to tackle fake coin contract addresses. Be careful and avoid contact with fake coin contract addresses to keep your assets safe.

yes, I also noticed that there are a lot of fake coins being sent evenly on the BinanceSmartChain network. although sometimes I feel annoyed, every time I make a transaction on a special trading wallet and it doesn't last long I receive the fake coin.

Yes, I also have received all these tokens in my wallet. I never tried them to swap, because I heard that our wallets can be hacked if we try to swap them or sell on any website.
I think we can't remove them from our wallet, there is only one solution, just ignore these coins and never try to swap them or never connect your wallet on any unsecure site, which promise to swap these tokens for usdt.

actually there are many more tokens as you mentioned, even Recently i also got them in my bsc network using trust wallet there are many tokens which look more like spam tokens. I left it on purpose but I noticed that there are still people who are tempted by it, even trying to sell it  ::)

In recent times many shit coins pump and dump also even we have seen rug pull also where mostly all the investors lose their money so we should focus on good coins rather than shit coins. These shit coins in my opinion ruining the image of the cryptos it is not good for the market I feel. Good product base coins are the future of the crypto market.

True. We all receive fake tokens not only on BSC but also on Hecho and all other chains which are worthless. Some people try to sell them on Pancakeswaqp where fee will be deducted from your BNB balance for approval of transaction but swap of tokens will always fail. I think intention of hackers is to trap investors by these airdrops and steal money by hacking wallets. I would strongly suggest to never unlock your wallet for these fake airdrops.

https://www.bsc.news/post/airdrop-scams-minereum-mneb-and-velochain-velo-land-on-binance-smart-chain

We can't really remove it from the wallet completely , it's best not to swap or swap the coins as you listed:
* ALPACAFIN.CO ... (ALPACA)
* BestAir.io (AIR)
* BNBW.IO (BNBW)
* BSCTOKEN.IO (BSCTOK ...)
* GoFlux.io (FLUX)
* Minereum BSC (MNEB)
* ShibaDrop.io (SHIB)
* TheEver.io (EVER)
* AirStack.net (AIR)
* TheVera.io (VERA)
  I did it wrong and tried swap resulting in losing everything in my wallet , these are acts of appropriating other people's assets by technology , first we need to share to more people how to avoid and avoid unreasonable loss of money.

The only way to completely get rid of them is to send them to a burn address. You can hide them in your wallet UI but they are still owned by your address. I tried swapping MNEB on Pancakeswap when I first noticed that token in my wallet but the transaction failed. These tokens are trying to get you to visit their website so that you can give them approval over your funds and they will end up draining your wallet.

Funny that I had some those shit coins in my wallet, it seems they luring people to go their site and will hack you once you entered private keys or connecting wallet I think. I never visit one of their site because it is so risky. Avoid to go their site guys it's not a free money.

Make research first and seek for specific information especially when it comes wallet where we used to store our money, because mostly nowadays are scam and sometimes duplicate wallet sites/apps from some frauds just to get some victims around the internet.. So be aware and always rely to some trusted store when downloading an app wallet and etc, to assure our money is totally safe and very secure..

Well I taught as much, tho i got few of them in my wallet which got me wondering how come there got to my wallet, due to my kind of person i hardly give a damn about  such things because it's just worthless, so for me I would just let it be there since it's useless till i find a way to get rid of them from my wallet. People should try to learn that anything which is too good to be true is likely to be scam so it would be better to avoid them instead of to loose the one you got while trying to gain free money.

The fake token has been sent on bsc network, thats why it stored on your bsc wallet, not eth wallet.
The best thing we can do is just leave it in our wallet, don't move it unless it worth hundreds $ to sell.
I remember there is a dusting attack on bitcoin network, but i don't know if that is the same attack with this.

I also have some of these tokens. They appeared in the wallet, but I just don't pay attention to them. I know what tokens I earned or bought, everything else is just rubbish.

Yes already i saw last tow days ago that there are three tokens in my wallet but i don't know. Those tokens are fake tokens and have the possibility to hack my wallet that is why to prevent it i normally don't click on it.

Tokens that appear automatically in everyone's wallets are pure trash, and you can't even transfer them to any exchange, even if you do a transfer, only the transaction fee is reduced in your wallet, while the token is still in your wallet.

Yes we have seen that our wallet has all these coins. All of these books just put up with and look a lot awkward in our college.Coins will never be exchanged, just keep with them.It is better not to give token wallet of all these scam projects.

All the coins you mentioned are deposited in my wallet as garbage coins . In fact, it is a kind of annoying phenomenon because all these coins do not show any value, but the wallet comes and lengthens the list of coins.

A good solution for this is credit cards issued by exchanges in conjunction with payment systems. Thus, the coins that you keep in your wallet are debited. And in the future, when the coins arrive in the wallet, they are automatically transferred to the wallet of scammers.

A type of new SCAM BE AWARE In the recent time i had received a lot of fake coin in the wallet and their value is pretty amazing but when i do research how to withdrawal these coin then i came to know that's the type of new SCAM they are saying to connect the wallet from their site  i repeatedly Say never connect your MAIN WALLET to anyone of the untrusted site your fully wallet can get hacked same think happening here
At Last i wanted to say We aware and never connect you wallet to any untrusted site

No one is exempted even me. They’ve usually targeted those wallets with decent amount of coins or tokens in their possession no matter if it’s ERC20, BSC, TRC20, etc. Actually during the first time I’ve received that amount of fake coin, I’m as excited but I did my own research and found out that it was another modus attempt called the “Honeypot Scam”. You might wanna Google that.

One of my close friends was a victim of a honeypot scam. He received a fake coin called Airstack and immediately tried to exchange it to Pancakeswap. But it was a trap. In the end, both his ETH and BNB are gone. He got nothing else to do but learn and move on from it.

I just simply ignore these fake coins or tokens and let them stay in my wallet.

I also received some of these tokens. But I did not add these to the main wallet. Because I know I didn't buy these or get them from any airdrop. So I never tried to swap these. These shit tokens are sent for advertisement purposes. It is better to stay away from these tokens.

some already have Fake Phishing in the contract address.
of course, trash tokens as already mentioned will do nothing for us.
but for those who are new, must be very interested because the price on the exchange is quite high.

Tokens that received without bounty or airdrops should be avoided as dust tokens for the possibility of wallet hack. BSC tokens transaction being for cheap, many scammer, hackers are sending shit tokens for DUST Attack. If innocent users want to sell and provide identity/ key/backup, their wallets will be hacked. This year, we are receiving regular fake tokens, OP has included few of them. Be sure before adding any tokens in your wallet or sell tokens from original source of information.

actually, if we look at these tokens we can avoid the theft of our assets. in the process of claiming on the exchange before the actual swap, we are asked to unlock locked tokens at a fairly large fee. maybe those who don't realize it is like a transaction fee but actually it is a door for us to send BNB in a certain amount.
if we don't approve I think it will be safe for our wallet.

I have some in my BSC wallet, I don't know where they came from, I tried to research if the tokens were a gift from the airdrop I participated in but they didn't, it just appeared in my wallet, and after I found out if it wasn't what I was doing , I ignore all the tokens that have no clear origin.

I just don't understand why people will create token and be distributing it to various wallets, are they sending it for free? Are they not affected by the gas consumed?
I have most of the listed tokens and I have be ignorance enough to swap one of them and I end up losing gas worth 1.4$. After then I have not and will not make the mistake of swapping an un known token seen in my wallet. What worries me most is how are they always able to send to different wallets as soon as a transaction just occur in the wallet. It does not take more than a minute for the token to arrive at ones wallet with recent transaction.

Don't connect your wallet to an untrusted source. Don't play with unknown smart contract coins that you don't know why it was on your wallet. That's the basic thing you can do to protect yourself over the dangerous attempt to hack your wallets.

I have some fake tokens in my wallet and until now my assets are still safe, nothing happened to my wallet, I know they send random tokens to all wallets just for promotion, not for hacking. maybe those who lost assets due to connecting to some scammers sites
no need to remove tokens from wallet because we still have to issue gas
if you're really worried, just create a new wallet and transfer the valuable tokens

More importantly, never share your seed phrase to fully protect your wallet.
Anyway, I don’t mind those dead tokens or even the fake one in my wallet because its useless and its not worth it to send it to any address just to clean your own wallet, fees are not worth it for that so better not to focus on that at all.

Strange thing are happening these day where we see scammers and project developers using various means to actualise there prospective target to gain money from investors who are not aware of there forms of scamming. The rate where scammers are developing new ways of scamming investors are vast and there is need for us who are all time investors searching for new coins we can invest in that could give us 10× 20× to 1000× of our capital needs prior research to know where and what we are putting our funds in to avoid later regret.

The funny thing is the OP didn't tell about hacking his wallet, but he did tell about the trash coins in his wallet, or fake tokens that have absolutely no value, this is not about a hack, because the one who hacked the wallet never sent any tokens, but they issue all tokens of value in the wallet. ;D

If it's true they are doing it for advertisement purpose, then it will make many people label their token that they send as shit token instead.It seem there are many tokens like this and sometime people just consider these tokens as free tokens they get from an airdrop.
To have these tokens can be confusing and it will be better if there is a way to remove these tokens that have no value instead of ignoring it.

Mostly of that token are in my trust wallet, LOL. These hacker so ambitious to stole from us, and my local group was give us warning about that regarding our experience long time ago with an ERC20 wallet.
For me personally, i will ignore it since i dont know wheres it come from. And regarding how to make it gone from our wallet, theres no other way except send it back or send it to burn wallet, but thats will required gas. Better just let it sitting there, and dont do anything.

When we follow a lot of airdrops and there are many tokens that land in our wallets sometimes we don't know which tokens are really safe and which are fake tokens,
we have to be really careful of course to secure our wallets,
it's true that tokens like that are better removed I hope it can be done

I also have some of those coins but because I don't feel like I'm participating in the coin project to get the coins so I keep the coins in my wallet and do nothing with them, because I'm afraid something bad will happen to my wallet

Luckily i never get any of those tokens, but you can remove the tokens if you using Metamask. I think other wallet can remove the unwanted tokens too. The problem is, if you want to remove certain tokens it does use a gas fee right? so i think it's best to leave them be and hope nothing bad happens

i think all bsc wallet users receive junk tokens as mentioned in the above thread, as you said that it is not airdrop token nor bounty token, but what makes me wonder why only in bsc wallet is sent? if it is true as your assumption that this is done by hackers who want to steal the money of bsc wallet users, then the security of using bsc wallet is not guaranteed. hopefully your assumption is not correct and the security of the bsc wallet is further enhanced by the developer.

A friend has his ApeNFT moved from his Tron Wallet when he tried to swap a token he saw on his wallet. This is the reason I didn't swap my Panda even though it was worth over $40-$50 before it fell. With this it's now difficult to trust genuine airdrop. Some fake tokens redirect to website and ask for PK, never should you allow it.

I saw that in my wallet too name zepi.io token. And when i open the comment section in bscscan.com. All comments says its a scammed and its dangerious if we link this token to our wallet addresses like trust wallet or metamask. Need to be careful on this scammed because we saw this inside our wallet. Need to find my way if there a procedure or something to get this unknown token entering our wallets.

The scammers have often made fake tokens and continue to distribute them, empty tokens like that are a lot in wallets nowadays, maybe experienced users will ignore it, but for beginners they might try to exchange them but it would be nice if you always look for it. information on forums and in telegram groups or other groups to find out whether the tokens are fake or genuine so that it is not wasted to exchange them.

This incidents are popping up since SWAP features is available in many platforms. The convinience in doing trade between tokens is make the users are not aware of what they are doing in swap transaction, it make the scammers or bad guys are having a chance to steal people's token by swapping to their trash tokens.
So as a users we have to be more careful with doing any transaction in cryptocurrency no matter how small the amount is because it will be our habit every transactions.

This fake token sending is happening a lot, many of the address owned by big investors also very common to have such fake tokens which sometime have value displayed that can be real or just fake but most of the time if the big investors that owned the address just ignoring it, it can be a fake token.
The only wisest way to deal with it is to ignore it so anyone will not get scammed by this kind of fake token or anyone can simply send it to the burning address that's usually being used for big projects to burn their tokens to reduce the total supply. There are many tokens created in BSC or ETH and many of them probably created for this and some of them got listed in etherscan or BSCscan as ordinary token. Nowadays, there are so many people who are able to create such token so this kind of practice should be expected.

Because of BSC low gas fee, these spammers are sending spam coins in thousand of BSC wallet. When you try to trade it on pancakeswap you will be amazed that these coins appears to have value but will cost you gas fee. Once you fall from this scam, you traded your coin and the scammer earns a large portion in Liquidity.

Where did you experience that? in Ethereum network? I recently created BEP20 Address and I saw that I have some coins that came to my wallet I think this are scam coins I usually ignore it but whenever I'm trying to look in the explorer it's really annoying to see these coins since it's been mixed with the current assets that I have, I just hope there's a way to delete it.

It seems that the one who sent the token in your wallet is the BSC itself, if it is not them who sent it then it seems that no one else knows the address of the wallet we are using. but I don't think you need to worry about the tokens already in your wallet, I think our wallets are all safe and we won't fall victim to their criminal hacking. no need to delete tokens that are already in your wallet.

I don't think it's Ethereum Network, The fee itself was too huge for the scammer to send the token and most of them come on BEP-20 Network, Yeah it's really annoying to be honest i got more than 10 Fake token already on my wallet it's just really annoying as you said, I hope BSCScan will add feature like Etherscan where it's going to hide fake asset like this.

There are a lot of junk tokens sent to wallet addresses not only on ERC20 but also matic, bep20, heco,.... Be wary of things that you don't know where it comes from to your personal wallet. Although I haven't had any serious issues yet, I've seen some people say that they lost their money when they accidentally granted wallet access.

Wait, sorry i don't quite get it. You CAN Ignore the incoming tokens in BSC or you just leave it in your wallet? i though BSC don't have such a feature like that.

Well, in my ETH wallet too, i got a lot of dump coin/token, so many that i decided to not open it again LoL

It's very disturbing for sure when we get fake tokens and land in our wallets,
you could say that's one of the drawbacks of Bscsan compared to Etherscan,
We all really hope that this feature is really added because of the increasing number of fake tokens circulating

As long as you don't make transactions with fake tokens there will be no problem, they just randomly send them to several wallets, just leave the tokens there, you just need to record any fake tokens in your wallet so you know which tokens are real you get by work or from airdrops.

There are so many fake tokens from the BSC network circulating in my wallet wallet, fake tokens are very easy to send in bulk transactions because the BSC gas fee is still low, it is recommended to ignore fake tokens to hide unnecessary tokens in your wallet.

Honestly just leave them be? I saw a video from voskcoin recently where he saw the same thing and wanted to check and the token swap required him to spend another token which would give them the right to withdraw it all, and that is why he didn't do it and warned everyone to be careful.

Best way to handle this is basically just ignoring it completely, that way you would have it on your wallet, a bad thing to see useless tokens on your wallet surely but it is also something quite important to never touch them. Best case you could send it to any other address and that wouldn't give anyone any rights because you are only sending and not swapping but at the same time it's not going to be that difficult to just hold it in your wallet, that's it.

that's a fake token in the wallet purely as a crime not a promotion or anything else. I've heard that fake tokens in wallets are very dangerous and it's clearly targeting people who don't understand cyber crime. need education about this so as not to make many people become victims of this fake crime

i have also many fake token in my wallet.Those tokens have no value or volume.I thik it is crime bcoz new hunter don’t understand It's cyber crime.They can send randomly many wallet.A bad things i have ever seen in my journey. I just ignore this happen bcoz there are no ways to transition or remove  fake token without fee.

Although I try to limit participation in airdrops, I still see such things appearing on my personal wallet. I've heard a lot of warnings about something like this, it's not really a big deal to me, but newcomers to the field need to be wary of things like this because it's very common. You will probably lose money if you try to sell it.

to be Honest, i was tempted to swap some of these tokens. i might have fell prey to these scammers but was lucky when i conducted some of my friends who raised the dust on time. there are many more to come. such stuff was happening on tron network. many people loose there tokens and are still loosing. i think the binance smart chain platform should investigate on this and work hard to avoid people loosing their funds. it is getting out hand and people are unknowingly loosing out.

Why do you even get bothered by those fake tokens, it not like they are stilling your wallet space. Fortunately you can spot a mass distribution of a fake promotional token from miles away. It happened to me on ETH wallet back when gas was low, then on waves wallet and now on BSC wallet.

Yes, it is indeed a crime, because it can trap bounty hunters who are still beginners who are tempted by fake tokens that enter their wallets, they will be forced to spend money to get fake tokens and the result is only worthless tokens, the only one the only way is to ignore those fake tokens.

I only encounter this type of token in BSC. It never happens when I use Ethereum. They are really annoying having scam token inside our wallet without being able to getting rid of it.

Some of my friend mistakenly swapped those tokens without checking the source and they lost a really big amount of money. Damn, they should have asked themselves or someone who is expert in crypto so that they know those tokens are legit or not

I often get emails requesting to send ethereum to a wallet address for the reason of transaction fees, many even promise to give a big bonus of up to 10x the ethereum I send, I believe this is a scam so the best way is to ignore the email. other than that we must be vigilant to click the link in the email because this is usually a malicious program to steal our data.

Ignore that message ask you to sent ethereum and hey will sent more than three time your sending because that scammer, right now they have new way like ask deposit bitcoin on some wallet after giving email and password data, in their account have some btc and they ask to sent about 0,1 btc available to withdraw, that really scammer and better hidden your email and separated between your email join bounty and your exchange email.

I recommend using an alternative email address to register for the airdrop program or any form that requires personal email data, every email that has been given will be sent a bulk scam message and  will interest you with instructions in the email for double profit the asset is sent to the scammer,  if it is private email address is important then delete messages from scammers daily or weekly.

Don't take any actions if you don't want to be victimized by this kind of fake token, the moment you

Try to move this coin with the very chance that hackers may interfere. And same with your suggested action,

better to transfer your valuable to other wallet and leave everything out.

Safer than doing things that may affect the security of your wallet.

Experienced investors wouldn't fall for these easy tricks by frauds. However, newbies in this market should be really careful about this. As they are new in this market, they may think it as a gift and try to sell them in the market. Maybe hackers can even get access to your private information somehow, who knows. We shouldn't trust everyone and every thing in this market. Newbies also should be aware of this before starting to making investments.

Of the eleven fake tokens that the OP mentioned in my wallet, I have the 6 types of tokens mentioned, I don't know where they came from even though I've never done an airdrop task if it's from an airdrop, then is this the work of scamers who always try to send tokens to for sale at fake prices?
Sometimes I like to laugh seeing the price of these tokens being hundreds of thousands of dollars on a trustwallet but in reality it can't be used for anything.
Damn always getting useless tokens.

Scammers send those tokens randomly to a large number of wallet address. You will receive those tokens if you have made ETH or BNB Smart Chain transaction from your wallet. Among those tokens I have received only two tokens. MNEB is one of it. Although I got it after participating in their airdrop. Minereum BSC shows the price of Minereum tokens which is based on erc-20 network. In the telegram group MNEB team was saying that user can use those token after buying the mining power from them. I have simply ignored it.

However, minereum team have their announcement thread in this forum. And they have also said that MNEB is belongs to their project. [ANN] Minereum - 🔥 🚀 Minereum Polygon AIRDROP IS LIVE! 🚀 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4495159.0)

Better not to bother yourself on removing those because it would just be adding up anytime soon and also if you are trying to move those coins then it isnt really worth for the time,fees and effort.
If you do got stressed on having these then go for another or create some new wallet and dont engage with some swap exchangers because this is what i had observed that whenever you do
make transactions or get involved with these places you do really get these fake token but im not sure but this is what i had observed.

The unsolicited token sent to your address is called dust,  or spam token. This kind of token was popular during 2017 bull market. Some of those dust token that were sent to me was valuable and I was able to sell them on Etherdelta then.  If you want to get rid of these token,  you can send them to a burn address 0x000000000000000000

Fake tokens are just a nuisance and foul up everyone's wallets, so it's true as you say to ignore them without caring about them, because no one wants to give away expensive tokens for free without doing anything as they tell them to, so it's purely a trap intentionally made.

^When I was most active in bounty hunting before I always encounter the same like this get a free token from the giveaways but until now there is no value. And there are more, it requires me to send a small amount of ETH so that soon it will airdrop me a token but it will never arrive. There are too many fake tokens that scammers lurking us a hunter. If you are a newbie hunting airdrop, you must be careful because as of now, they are not worth it anymore, the exchange has high fees and everything has high fees.

Fake tokens are only dangerous for newbies in cryptocurrency, while for those who are very experienced in cryptocurrency it will not feel dangerous because they know which tokens they should ignore as trash in their wallets.

The tokens on the scam on ERC20 or BSC are usually sent to your wallet automatically and set at a very high price on exchanges with the purpose of hitting the psychology of ignorant people so that those people can swap that token on the DEX and then they approve the contract of that scam token, and after doing that, the money in your wallet will automatically go to the hacker's wallet in a simple way, to fix this you can revoke the tokens that scam token using the platform: https://app.unrekt.net/. You will be charged a small fee each time you revoke, but please do this often to avoid losing money on your wallet.

I think you won't end up swapping that coins because there's no liquidity for it. Just let them reside in your wallet. If you are confused or curious as you don't know how you get that token then you can do some research if that token is active.

It's no different during the hype of ERC20 tokens. Those unknown tokens will only be noticeable if there's a market price. If there's not, then it will just be ignored so don't worry about the scam.

I think everyone can get rid of this problem if they have idea about this kind of token. Everyone should have knowledge that most of the time “free” does not bring good. So greediness must be controlled as much as possible.

I have some of these tokens in my wallet and so are the hundreds of thousands of wallets I'm surprised that they are willing to spend gas fees for these huge numbers of wallets, they really invest on a gas fees and hoping that many will fall victims to their scheme, it's better to just ignore these so-called scam airdrops coins or if you are interested go and dig deep and hopefully you'll found out that these are scam coins.

Unfortunately, especially new investors can fall into such traps. Of course, no one will give you anything for free, but many people think that they can get rich and are scammed with such fake tokens. That's why you should know about every coin you own and be careful when investing. The tokens that you think came with the airdrop may be fake. I've got these fake tokens too :D

Actually there are many more scam tokens that go into some people's wallets and to make sure whether the token is a scam or not, I suggest using this link https://rugdoc.io/honeypot/, if it's not verified then don't do anything with the token

Yes, it is clearly dangerous and is definitely a scam, especially if it promises unreasonable profits, only thoroughness can prevent us from such scams.

I just found out. looks how it works is also simple. just need to enter the contract address if I'm not mistaken. and we can see verified or not. this is very helpful.

I have those in my wallet too. However, I just simply ignore them and not wanting to exchange those scam tokens. These scammers are doing the crypto honeypot scam. You might wanna Google or Youtube that bro. Recently, my friends are also inquiring that same concern to me and I just told them not to exchange them forever because it's a trap hole when they attempt to exchange these scam coins for good.

Yes, sometimes there are also fake tokens that intentionally promise to return many times, this will be very tempting for beginners and they easily spend money to pay transaction fees, but they are all fake and will not keep their promises, this is the importance of recording projects or what airdrops we participate in so that we know which assets we really get from our work and which are just fake tokens.

Scam tokens are not new in the market, the majority of the scam tokens are ETH tokens, and they don't actually have a value since they are not listed in an exchange, and for some instance, they get listed but on a shady exchange. With knowledge, we will know what coins are shitcoins and what coins are legit, and we will not waste our time on a project that promises a lot but does not show they are working to achieve it.

Seriously, I  have many of these tokens in my wallet that I don't really know their source, thank God I know now that it's from Hackers, but I wonder how the tokens get into my wallet and I know that I never submit my wallet for any token.

They simply take the addresses of the wallets of the participants in one of the bounties through the spreadsheet and send them these fake coins or they take their email addresses and send them scams so we all have to be careful and these fake coins if you want to remove them from your wallet you can create a new wallet and send those coins to it they will take some fees and I think if you hold them and ignore them it would be better.

U cant remove the tokens unless you burn them to burn address, but if u only annoyed by the amount of the token, wallet like trust or metamask have option to hide some tokens.

not all crypto community have this knowledge, and its be our duty to share this knowledge so hacking accident could minimized if alot people understand. some beginer feel happy when they see new token come to their wallet, meanwhile behind of this they be hacking target.

hackers could get our address maybe by filtering token holders in any projects,and they send it to them. always ignore all strange thing for security reason.

Your wallet is ok even there's fake token inside it. It won't harm your wallet.

But connecting a wallet to an unknown and fake DEX, that's where the problem starts. Only refer to official DEX sites and try to analyze if that site is legit as it's easy to make a clone these days.

I think that bad choose when connecting wallet with unknow and fake DEX, but now why many address received thousand fake coin because scammer sent to all address make transaction on bsc scan, looks funny when new address with bsc network have received many kinds of fake coin or token, never connecting address with DEX exchange based on you said and always use right link when access to DEX exchange.

When connecting on a DEX then you would particularly need to put up your keys which means you are really on risk on losing all of your assets once you had signed or logged in into a fake one.
So thats why we should really be careful but as long we dont make any moves or does give out our keys then we should be fine and better to ignore those coins
and wont mind off because it wont give out anything harm but rather you are just simply accumulating those.

Yes, that's right, bro, such coins are intentionally sent by scammers, especially after you make a transaction ,it doesn't take long fake token suddenly appear in your wallet. and need to remember?
1. Don't try to exchange coins like that. if you do swap then you will only lose money with such transaction fees.
2. Such coins are just a kind of damn bot, you can buy them but you can't resell them.
actually not only happening on the BSC network, but in several other blockchains such as Polygon, Hecoscan.
my advice, just ignore it.

This type of token has become very popular lately. They use it a lot especially in bsc network. When you try to sell tokens on pancakes, it shows you a very full price. This is where the cunning begins. It receives your approval for token transfer. Then it asks you to approve that token transfer. As soon as you approve this, they have access to your wallet and they steal everything. You should definitely pay attention.

I thought I am the only one who got received this shit coins in my wallet. It was really annoying actually, and my
friend of mine who closed to me told that it will be fine as long as your not trying or attempt to open their website were our wallet will be safe for sure, because most of this shitcoins websites are phishing site. So, be careful to all.

I also feel that it is dangerous. I also have some tokens in my wallet such as AABEK, TheEver, and Zepe. At first I also thought that it was a misaddressed coin, and I thought some of the coins had a telegram group. they also teach how to exchange the tokens. it's just, thinking that the airdrops they provide are so many, I feel that there is something wrong with that. Well, because of that I haven't decided whether I need to send it to another wallet or not, because seeing this token is in my wallet, it's quite disturbing.

In my wallet, I already see a couple of dozen of these coins, about which I do not even have any information. I somehow am anxious about such incomprehensible mailings of coins, and I try not to even touch them. I only work with what I send to my wallet, so calmer.

Scammers and hackers are everywhere. Be careful and thank you for this kind of post. We are now aware of this kind of doing by hackers. This is very deceiving activities by hackers so we all know what to do when you find fake coins in your wallet.

it's like inviting people to be greedy that's true. they will be surprised to see there is a fake token in their wallet and they without thinking about it make a transaction, and as a result their assets in the wallet are lost. I think if there is a fake token in the wallet, it's better to be silent and don't respond because it's a real scammer

if it's like this, and many fake tokens are found in our wallets, I think we can move assets to other wallets, so that what we see is our original token of value. sometimes we are made uncomfortable with the number of fake tokens. and don't let us take any action against the token to avoid bad things

it's useless you do it. even when you move your assets to another wallet you will get another junk token.
I experienced it for my BSC wallet. and I think for every transaction we make there will always be spam from junk token transactions that enter our wallet.

Many things will happen if we do not master the science in running it, cases of losing tokens and coins are very often heard today, both for beginners and for people who have been in the crypto world for a long time, it is very strange if this continues to happen and there is no preparation whatsoever to stop it.
When hackers put their tokens in our wallets, isn't this we can control with the security system and how can we not know that it's not tokens that we buy or from other exchanges, I think this can all happen because of our lack of skills.

In the last two months I received a lot of fake tokens from the bsc network. I don't know what the scammers are doing.  With the cheap fees on the BSC network, many frauds occur. I received many scam coins, including ALPACAFIN.CO, BestAir.io, BNBW.IO  BSCTOKEN.IO, GoFlux.io, Minereum BSC, ShibaDrop.io, TheEver.io, AirStack.net, TheVera.io. I think the swallow will be safe if there is no mistake from the wallet owner, such as swapping the scam coin and approving the coin.

How is it possible for someone to get access with your funds when you sell your tokens? They cant. Unless you click those phishing sites, your funds are safe whether you sell those shits coins they sent you. You can however delete it by sending it to this burn address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD but it will have a fee. I suggest that you just remove that token from your wallet for you not to see it anytime.

When I saw those coins in my wallet I knew they where scam coin so I decided to try to swap one of them so that I can report them on Bitcointalk to avoid most expecially newbies to fall into the scam trap. I tried to swap Minereum which after trying to swap if I was charged gas fee which after the charges I was directed to there website to to migrate the coin which before I can migrate the coin to the next level which I need to pay some certain amount first before I can migrate then I didn't proceed because I know they are just trying to scam me. Why will you give me a coin for free then asking me to pay before I can migrate. So I believe some of those coins are scam coins and they are not only for advertisement.

I have one of these tokens and after I searched it turned out that the token was fake and even there was no price at all on the market, and until now it's better for us to just ignore the incoming token tokens which should be fraudulent tokens.

We all are facing the same issue and not only in Binance smart chain  but also on Ethereum and Matic and Hecho network. I am afraid that these fake tokens might be used by Hackers to steal funds from our wallets. It is possible to hide these tokens on Metamask but I don't know about other wallets. If somebody can give good suggestion to get rid of these Fake token, please do that and help the community. Thanks.

the token you mentioned is exactly in my wallet. I have also received it in my Bsc wallet. what makes me wonder why only BSC wallet users are sent? will it harm my wallet? I'm worried about this

I have also received some fake tokens in my wallet. I don't know who has the time for do these type of nosense thing. My bsc wallet just full with these coins. I surprised when see that only bsc wallet has been filled with these fake coins not my etherwallet because eth fees is very high. I got these coins in my wallet
AABEK
ABFIN
AIR
BSCTOKEN
EVER
VERA
Zepe.io

don't care about the Scam tokens that enter your Bsc wallet, all these incoming tokens are useless and also not profitable for you. I don't think it harms anyone's wallet who enters the tokens mentioned in the thread above

Can you please let us know how to hide these token in Meta Mask. A tutorial or quick reference guide link will be a great help for me and others who don't know how to do it.
Personally i don't touch these tokens because i heard that if you try to swap them, all funds in your wallet are lost.

personally I also don't want to touch the token, because there is quite a lot of negative news from the coin. many people tried to sell it, but until now most of them couldn't sell the token. anyway, thinking of sending to another address, but i feel that there will likely be more such tokens being sent en masse to scam people, so its better to keep it hidden. unfortunately, I don't know about how to hide the token from the meta mask. Besides that, can this method be used for trust wallets too? Personally, I've never seen anyone else hide tokens from their wallets. it's not visible in the wallet, but if we look for it on etherscan, or bscscan, it's quite annoying.

The best way to run away from all the harms that comes with all these fake tokens is controling insatiable appetite of selling quickly and then being able to research about tokens you received unexpectedly. Even I think it makes sense to first and foremost, check out a token that just entered your wallet other than looking for exchanges it is listed on to sell.
Also, thanks for bringing to the notice of the community such that, those who might not know what is going on, will be able to educate themselves while taking appropriate security measures.
Lastly, when such tokens enters a person's wallet, it is better to ignore them than making any form of transactions with it, be it to take it out of the wallet or whatever.

I also have few tokens in your lists and at first I thought its an airdrop but its just a clickbait scam coins after I check it in youtube. Good to know that I didnt proceed to its website and open my metamask or else all my founds will definitely lose.

Some tokens are intentionally for advertising but some are not. I heard someone from our neighbor that his wallet got hacked without doing something expect for trying to swap the unknown token. Because of that I became aware and will not try to do swap the garbage tokens. Those tokens cannot harm us unless we connect our wallet to their site. Let us be careful

I am tired of seeing these kinds of tokens in my wallet but i don't know how should I remove them whenever I received any token in my wallet I thought new worthy token come in my wallet but these are totally worthless. I have a solution why we can't send these tokens to unknown address.

I have found myself receiving coins after a transaction on a number of different  occasions and this has happened on both the Ethereum blockchain and bsc chain and I don't know why people send these coins which hold no value at all.

But as I understand most of these coins are meant to mimic the real coins hence when it comes to exchanging them the hackers are likely to have the real coin and leave you with the bogus coins and not that the hacker will have access to my wallet...

https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058451852-How-to-remove-a-token
It doesn't literally empty the token from the address, just hides the display from token metamask list and the token will remain visible if exporting your address to other wallet apps or checking it in explorer sites.

It's annoying and risky also. Do you think there is no reason behind sending this fake reason? Hackers always try to hack in new and different ways. We shouldn't avoid this issue. It may a reason to lose our valuable assets.

Maybe you need to just leave the token, it's not a problem if the token is in your wallet, many tokens have no current price, but there are certain times that the token will become valuable when you need it, tokens that have no selling value right now, but in the years to come, these tokens will be very valuable, so just focus on other tokens that you want to look for, let those tokens be in your wallet and don't need to be thrown away, if you benefit in the future maybe you can think again.

I've never experienced this before, but I've heard about wallet hacking by irresponsible people, even I've also heard a lot of tokens are lost for no apparent reason, I think all of this would be impossible if it wasn't for the hack people do, and strangely enough when the token or coin is gone there is no trace that we can find.

Same situation here, I got many too. Just forget it, ignore cos nothing positive for you from that. Relax and dont spend your time regarding that fake coins.

Yes, you say, if we do not work or follow any program and suddenly there is a token entering our wallet it needs to be suspected.
The best thing we do is ignore it.
Like the example I found.
I received a zepe io token of 750000 and I chose to ignore the token because I did not follow any of the programs.

Sadly, many people are scammed this way, moreover newbies that don't know or are not aware of this fake. And those who are very happy by receiving free tokens in their wallet and willing to sell them all by thinking that they can get money freely, in fact, they're scammed.

Actually, there are also some conditions where there are fake tokens that are sold in certain platforms connected to online wallets such as Trustwallet or Metamask. And some people who don't know that the token is actually not tradable yet bought them. In fact, the tokens have different smart contracts. This also needs carefulness.

Using our "common sense" is already enough to deal with this.

Just think of it, why would you end up swapping those if there's no way you can swap or trade it in the market. There's no even volume you can check on. I don't understand why would those fake tokens in someone's wallet will lead to a scam. I don't take the reason as being newbies for someone who will make attempts to trade or swap it.

Yes, everything you mention is sent randomly to all wallets, including me. and everything is clean if we look at it at a glance. they not only hack but also get a fee when someone is provoked to do a swab. I think this is because the estimated value is fantastic. In my opinion, just ignore the SC coins/tokens and for sure we are, we always remember the actual coins/tokens that we are waiting for to enter our wallet.

if you careful, i think such accidental issues can be fixable, do not access or permission suspicious websites. so we need to clear browser cache in trust wallet. hackers will try to stole our money in this way.

If there's a stranger in our wallet, there are ways to verify it. We are not in an era where confirming legit ones to fakes ones doesn't have a method.

Even we don't know the method, we have a large community to ask. Just create a thread at the right section then many will help here. Don't be afraid or be shy to ask about a problem. Fake tokens that are now in our wallets are not really harmful if we are vigilant.

I also got so many fake tokens in my BSC wallet. I think there's a scammer in the back of this fake tokens. They certainly have purpose. You will be pleasantly surprised to see the holder of the fake token. If the transaction fee 5 cent then they must need to spend a lot of dollars for those transaction. Why are they spending so much? Of course they have a purpose. Again it may be that they use holders number for getting investors. We need to avoid those coins. This token should not be confirmed for swapping. Stay away from those fake tokens.

so whether the fake token sent to our wallet address will harm the wallet we use? if it doesn't harm we can not ignore it, but if it's dangerous it seems there is concern from every token recipient

Those aren't harmful until anyone’s trying to sell and share his/her wallet access to those scammers. Basically, those token's smart contract is deployed just to do trade into their particular website where we need to submit wallet access (private key/ memoric phrase) in order to connect for selling as we can't sell those in pancakeswap(bsc) or quickswap (polygon). Those just ignore and let those be in your wallet like dust.  ;)

Everything they do is geared towards our curiosity or simply greed. I noticed something for my BSC wallet with the token GoFlux.io(Flux), it has a contract with the name Fake_Phishing61. It's good that everything is alerted if you feel curious but not over the limit "Warning! There are reports that trying to withdraw or move this token via their website could lead to a loss of funds. Please exercise caution when interact with the contract address."
Be wary of strange tokens like these.

i will suggest you continue to update this post with fake tokens been distributed to people. some of these tokens are fake and scam. people might loose their funds when they trade to exchange these tokens. i found it difficult to believe but it is possible especially on tron and bsc. when you interact with some of these smart contract. your account becomes vulnerable. your may loose all your token at last. it is possible. a recent rugpull happened on solana and people loose more when they tried to remove their LP by interacting with smart contract.

something that starts without knowledge, is not a good and promising thing, greed is the closest to destruction, need to watch out for tokens that are not clear, especially with a lot of spam done by these tokens, nowadays many hackers are taking advantage of people who less alert and not knowledgeable in a particular wallet.

There are hackers sending out fake tokens which replicate legit ones and i have heard about many people falling for those scams as once you try to connect them to a DEX then you might be vulnerable to an attack. I am not sure about the facts because i usually neglect these strange tokens in my wallet.

All you need to look is the contract address and if they are not the contract address of the coin your are holding, it is a fake one and you do not need someone to help you in checking that.

Nah, he's just minding off about those fake tokens in his wallet and this isn't talking about lost tokens on his own personal wallet.To answer this up there had been some reports or rumors that these fake

tokens are the way for scamming out gas fees or something like that.I cant be sure on whats the true motive or system of this that's why it would better if you do just simply ignore these tokens

because what matter most here is that you do able to protect your seedphrase and wont be compromised externally.

just ignore and never try to trade it in decentralized exchanges because many holders become victim.

as long as we didnt anything to this token our wallet will safe. nothing dangerous if we ignore this token.

My wallet is filled with all these worthless coins. I have no idea who sends all these coins. Coins that have no value are what they gain by coin wallet sending.

yeah. i am not a prolific developer or coding skills but there are loads of loop holes on tron and BSC smart chains where a programmer design a token, sent it to multiple wallet and whenever you tried to exchange that token any exchange, you will loose funds from your wallet. it seems like interacting with the smart contract creates a back door for the hacker to assess your wallet. once you interact with the smart contract, it is possible that your funds will be collected from your wallet.

It's those developers that are trying to scam you. They have no value and if something shows that it has value, you'll try to panic as if you're going to exchange that quickly and take the profit.
But little did you know that they're baiting you to fund that wallet of yours and send it to where it's only listed for you to trade.

That one is a very popular way of scam, but some people still fall from these scams.

If you still remember this news https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53425822.. that's one of the most successful scams.


Only prove that there are still a lot of people who are greedy but has no knowledge of the different style of scams.
Too good to be true offers usually are scams.

I remember that scam but it's a different approach from those scammers that are putting dust tokens to the wallet addresses of those newbies.
But both scams are really popular and still, there are those newbies that still fall for it. People should learn that there's no easy money even it is in cryptocurrencies.

I see that Thevera.io, minereum BSC and Airstacks.net in my binance wallet address as well good think I do research first before going and claiming those today that turns out to be a clickbait fraud tokens.

I've been a bounty hunter since 2016, because I get paid a lot of tokens, so many projects fail so they are never available on exchanges, of course this is a trash token and there's nothing we can do with the trash token, we just hope that one day the project wakes up so the token can be valuable.

There are many fake token comes in your wallet through joining fake airdrops and bounties which can scam your wallet forever and then it can't be recover so kindly make an other wallet and if you have fees then send fake tokens to other wallet or if not then delete asset from you wallet of fake token because fake tokens are harmful.

It is not a good solution to send fake tokens to other account. It will be harmful for your wallet. I think it is better to avoid these kinds of fake tokens. If we create new account, we will get fake tokens again. We need a smart solution to solve this problem.

Despite my efforts to minimize my participation in airdrops, similar items continue to arrive in my personal wallet. I've heard a lot of cautions about stuff like this, and while it's not a major problem to me, it's something that newbies to the area should be aware of because it's quite frequent. If you try to sell it, you will almost certainly lose money.

yeah you are right , i have a few token from on your list but my friends say that these tokens are fake. when I went for swap these token they said they will not swap in this exchange they gave me site and said go and connect your wallet in this site then you can swap these token. bit my friends said if you connect your wallet in this site your wallet will be hack then I didn't connect.

Fake token in wallet :-
Scammers lied that users can get airdrop tokens once downloaded the latest version of imToken.Nevere share or provide your details. People should aware of all these activities. They want that you do swap or they give you link all these things they do.

All the tokens listed by he are in my wallet. All tokens are fake. I don't understand who is sending these and why. I am also worried about taking it, is there any possibility of my wallet being hacked through it?

They are not fake tokens, they are dead tokens. Especially a few years ago, many icos were made, many bounty prizes were distributed. But in the process, most teams defrauded people or disbanded. They didn't do any new work. If you have not invested and only received bounty reward, you do not have any loss.
But fake tokens are quite dangerous, you can lose your money because of these tokens

began to be seen a lot when entering 2018, many projects failed but still made payments. the tokens given are not listed on the exchange market, so the tokens are meaningless and have no value at all aka trash tokens.

but if it happens under 2017 there are still tokens that are distributed even though they have not been registered on the stock market. In the end, even though it took a long time, maybe even a year, there was still registration on the stock market, so there was also a surprise because many of them ended up increasing in value.

it's true that what was done was not a fake token, of course it was not registered so it was not valuable. many did this in the period 2018 and above, in fact in the previous year not much happened. all this because it is a rampant fraud to seek temporary profit.

The bounty hunter obviously didn't lose money but there was no reward, so time was wasted after working on that worthless bounty. it is clear that if fake tokens are sold and there are investors who buy it, it is certain that they will suffer losses, again this all depends on whether the project owner is wise or not. if they are wise they will return investors' funds but few are wise to do that.
