Wondering the same thing... I recieved 1,009.6216900000001 on 29 January 2018 and I have no idea what they are. This post was the only google result when I search the contract address.
Hopefully someone can shed some light?

What did you get these tokens for? Did you participate in some bounty company or airdrop?

Probably airdrop. If it was a scam, they would not send the tokens. I guess no answer then. I think the organizers were not skillful enough to get ethplorer to name their token or something.

This sounds really strange, and the fact that no one knows anything about it just goes to show how much in the dark we still are, and how much we need these forums for clarity and support. Since you have received the tokens, is it still possible for it to be a scam! Hope you get a concrete answer to this one.

my guess is it's actually the devils ether address! It would be best if you were to dust the strange tokens immediately if you want any chance of salvation.

does not sound good, for sure is something close to a scam...
If you get robbed on the street - you can call it a scam, but what if someone puts a hundred dollars in your purse. Is it a scam then? Usually, if you are not sure what it is, it could be some airdrop for which you applied, or even more likely - a snapshot airdrop. However, in this case, this is the "burn" address", the address where the tokens go if you don't write anything in the "send" field when filling a transfer from. How can you receive something from this address eludes me. EDIT: Look at this thread here, this could be an answer - the one made by adrianclv https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7kcarv/someone_is_sending_out_erc20_tokens_randomly/ on how it was possible. But I still don't have an idea which token it is in your case. |

Yeah, expect that these are tokens that are doing nothing but taking up space in my ether wallet and ethplorer page. I wish they would name their tokens appropriately. I have a feeling that they named them, but it is the same name with some other token, therefore ethplorer is not naming them? In this case, they are named LIF but since there is already a token named LIF, ethplorer is ignoring them is my best guess. does not sound good, for sure is something close to a scam...

I have never herd of something like that and at the moment, I am sitting and wondering  What do you think for this conspiracy theory regarding the hached exchange. What if those guys that hacked the exchange to send random tokens like Robin Hood to a lot of people? And by that way to make a huge amount of traffic to cover them? Just a conspiracy theory but do you think, that something like that is possible, because the address is ..."address zero" if I could call it that way. |

Well, if they sent me NEM tokens, the name of the tokens would be on ethplorer. So, sorry but that's highly unlikely. |

I received many tokens from address like that. I think it's just a smart contract address for distribution of bounties or airdrop.

Yeah but the address is not the problem. The problem is that the ethplorer does not recognize the token, and thus, I do not know which token I am getting. I usually follow twitter addresses for airdrops, so that's one too many to follow. |

Lucky you, you have tokens. If your not sure what to then just keep it, it might have a value sooner, let's just say they give some free tokens to random wallets, then your one lucky receiver.
Since coins can not be used to still money from digital wallet then your all safe.
Keep us update too.

Free random tokens sound too good to be true so who knows. Maybe he participated in airdrops he forgot. Either way, interested to know. |

Yeah, I participated in many airdrops. I wish I could see the token name so that I could take appropriate action. In some of the cases, looking at the smart contract gives me a name, so at least I have that now.

I had same feelings about that address.
I just succesfully trade some ICO tokens (NCT) of Polyswarm. I notice that address show up in Etherscan.io when I checking authenticity of ICO project.
After trade was done, I manualy add token contract address to my wallet and tokens show up. No problem in my case.
I will stay in touch with news if token is valuable or worthless.
