Fake token in wallet

[tees420mar]

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.

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.    

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.

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..

[ninabobo]

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

[ranaprime]

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.

[Rigon]

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-

*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)

Is there any way to remove these tokens from the 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.

[Sihab76]

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.

[tvplus006]

...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.

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

[cheezcarls]

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.

[Bazlur]

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.
