Is it possible that my wallet can be hack even I sent only the wallet address to scammer?  I never realized he was a scammer at first because I thought he was a legit support from a token airdrop until he asked and demanding via link address my seed phrase, of course I stopped to proceed coz I realized he was scammer trying to hack my wallet and scam me.

I want to insert image here our conversation but i dont know how.
Well you did well mate, I don't have a problem with people that's didn't sense the scam intent on the first approach, but where my issue Is those who ignore all signs that this could be a scammer or they won't to gamble on their luck and most of the time get scammed.
For now there is nothing the scammer can do with just your wallet address, he can probably see you transactions but can't do more than that

As a rule of thumb, never share your wallets private keys/seeds with anyone else no matter who they are.
On the other hand, public addresses, as their name suggests, are public and meant to be shared with others. Otherwise, how could they send coins to your wallet!

Do i really need to transfer my funds to another address and dispose the wallet address that i sent? coz i dont want to expose my funds and be monitored by others.
All your transactions are stored on the blockchain which is a public ledger. So, anyone who knows your address can easoly look it up on any block explorer to know how much you own and not moving your coins will not hide it.

As long as you don't hand over your wallet's private key it will be safe and nothing will happen if you just hand over the wallet address. scammers will only see how many assets you have, whether there are valuable and have value for sale.
do not carelessly follow the airdrop, because many airdrops are managed by scammers who will trap you.
If you realize he is a scammer it is a good move then start blocking him. Never connect your wallet to a website that turns out to be phishing, check and revoke from several connected websites.

just your wallet address??
You're safe, except in a case where you aren't sure if you included your private keys, then I'd advice you transfer your funds to a new wallet.
You have nothing to loose if it's just the wallet tha was given out.

Let's be guided, this scammers are improving in their tactics and to overcome them, we need to outsmart them.
