Fake token in wallet

[Gbniman]

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.

This year scammers have taken a new trend of creating such tokens and sending them to wallets, experienced users will ignore such tokens, but beginners may well try to exchange them and will be left with an empty wallet.You always need to look for information on forums and in telegram groups where they can tell you that you don't need to do this.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[hello_good_sir]

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.

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-

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?

[Retainly_Collie]

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.

[akiho yoshizawa]

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.

[Kunnu]

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.

[trauchot]

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
