Could you show us your eos wallet address so that we can verify if this isn't a made up story. Okay, maybe it's real and you received it without any notice where it came from.
But maybe someone sent it to you intentionally and has your wallet address somewhere. Do you remember an incident where you are required to send your eos wallet address? it's highly impossible that someone just sent it to you randomly.

If I'm not wrong, when you create an EOS wallet, you set up a username, and if someone wants to send you some coins or tokens, that person needs your username. It could be that somebody is sending coins to someone whose username is very close to yours and that person is making a mistake. It's the only thing I can figure since the amount is too high for an airdrop.

There are several things that could have happened to your wallet. The reason why you can receive free coins, is bounty campaign that paid in EOS or staking rewards that you are getting for holding EOS. But a more realistic scenario is that somebody has access to your wallet through private key or seed phrase. I would recommend to withdrawal everything you have and create another wallet.

Maybe someone is using the same wallet as yours... How is it possible? I don't really know. Poor him if you withdraw his funds... Wallet in EOS is not safe if 2 or more people can access the same wallet.

Give the name of your EOS account. We will see, and say, from whom and for what you received coins. If you yourself haven’t seen it yet, of course (or if you need help with this).

Do you own an EOS token which distributes dividends? If not then you must be lucky to have alias your account.
The person who send those coins will probably want those coins returned though. He wants it back if he finds out he had sent those coins in the wrong hands, your EOS wallet will be posted here whenever that realization happen. Don't spend it yet.

in this case I think someone is wrong to send tokens to your wallet, how is it possible if you feel the amount of assets in your wallet is increasing while you rarely access the wallet and even use it for transactions ?. so I guess it's the sender's mistake and you're lucky to get more coins.

The most logical explanation would be that you are getting those funds, accidentally someone is messing up the address or username as others pointed out. But this does not explain multiple periodical transactions, if someone made a mistake, he/she should already have noticed it and stopped..

Unless someone is incorrectly using your address, there's no way you will receive such huge amount. Can you please share the screenshot of your account? Because, that's the only way you can receive free money like this! Someone is incorrectly using your wallet address and not checking back their own wallet. It is not a glitch for sure!

I really don't believe that, you can't send evidence here, how do we know about it, and it is very unlikely that anyone would just send it.

Where's the evidence? I want to see it, we're all waiting for the wallet address. If that's true, I'd buy EOS too, but I think that loophole would have been known long ago.

Hi, i guess you received the coin because there was someone who sending the coin to your address. EOS is using 12 char address to receive and peoples can do mistake because they type the address manually.
there is a possibility like this but as long as I use eos for a year I have never gotten the things that op have experienced, I think op is very lucky if this is true

I think it was sent from someone sending EOS with the wrong address. this is common if happen in myetherwallet. sometimes we don't realize that there are some coins that have a price but the sender is unknown.
Well, that's a lot of money, and it's very difficult to find the owner. this kind of thing is difficult to happen to eos wallet. I don't have any idea to return it to its original owner, so maybe you can save it, and decide on the best thing you need to do.

I can't really say much in that regard if truly you are seeing what you don't work or own in yr wallet with no expectation of credit from any one, the might as well be some trick or a mistake from someone to have made little error in sending to wrong acct and he might not really check if the transaction really went through or not.

Why do you need a freaking explanation? Freaking withdraw that, start a new wallet in Ethereum or bitcoin then put itt all there.
Just be thankful you have some freebies Being honest now will not get you anything. Someone may have copied a wrong address and it is now yours. One good thing about crypto like ETH and BTC. There is no getting it back. The sender might have also forgot about that too since he didnt know how to contact you.

could we see your address for proof atleast or is it just a made up stories? the most possible answer to your question is someone mistakenly sent some eos to your address. or maybe you join some airdrops a long time ago and forgot it.

I know I receive a lot of ERC20 tokens on my Ethereum address,,, and the same goes for my Waves wallet I get a lot of Waves tokens but this is mainly because my address is lying around in a few old threads and there is activity on the public blockchain. So I guess project developers get the address and drop tokens to active wallets.
But actual ETH? Never.

This is totally strange if true. If someone has been mistakenly sending you EOS and keeps sending, the person ought to always check for confirmation of deposit final destination. At this point I can't figure out anything save you show us the proof.

Is it really possible? creating wallet and putting your own username instead of having automatic one will create even someone already had that name? And if that is possible, how about the memo? that is the eos address and it can't be the same? I also have the wallet from waves and getting BTC which i dont know to whom it came from.
