Fake token in wallet

[abralzain17]

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-

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

the token you mentioned is exactly in my wallet. I have also received it in my Bsc wallet. what makes me wonder why only BSC wallet users are sent? will it harm my wallet? I'm worried about this

I have also received some fake tokens in my wallet. I don't know who has the time for do these type of nosense thing. My bsc wallet just full with these coins. I surprised when see that only bsc wallet has been filled with these fake coins not my etherwallet because eth fees is very high. I got these coins in my wallet

don't care about the Scam tokens that enter your Bsc wallet, all these incoming tokens are useless and also not profitable for you. I don't think it harms anyone's wallet who enters the tokens mentioned in the thread above

[UmerIdrees]

I have one of these tokens and after I searched it turned out that the token was fake and even there was no price at all on the market, and until now it's better for us to just ignore the incoming token tokens which should be fraudulent tokens.

We all are facing the same issue and not only in Binance smart chain  but also on Ethereum and Matic and Hecho network. I am afraid that these fake tokens might be used by Hackers to steal funds from our wallets. It is possible to hide these tokens on Metamask but I don't know about other wallets. If somebody can give good suggestion to get rid of these Fake token, please do that and help the community. Thanks.

Can you please let us know how to hide these token in Meta Mask. A tutorial or quick reference guide link will be a great help for me and others who don't know how to do it.
Personally i don't touch these tokens because i heard that if you try to swap them, all funds in your wallet are lost.

personally I also don't want to touch the token, because there is quite a lot of negative news from the coin. many people tried to sell it, but until now most of them couldn't sell the token. anyway, thinking of sending to another address, but i feel that there will likely be more such tokens being sent en masse to scam people, so its better to keep it hidden. unfortunately, I don't know about how to hide the token from the meta mask. Besides that, can this method be used for trust wallets too? Personally, I've never seen anyone else hide tokens from their wallets. it's not visible in the wallet, but if we look for it on etherscan, or bscscan, it's quite annoying.

The best way to run away from all the harms that comes with all these fake tokens is controling insatiable appetite of selling quickly and then being able to research about tokens you received unexpectedly. Even I think it makes sense to first and foremost, check out a token that just entered your wallet other than looking for exchanges it is listed on to sell.
Also, thanks for bringing to the notice of the community such that, those who might not know what is going on, will be able to educate themselves while taking appropriate security measures.
Lastly, when such tokens enters a person's wallet, it is better to ignore them than making any form of transactions with it, be it to take it out of the wallet or whatever.

I also have few tokens in your lists and at first I thought its an airdrop but its just a clickbait scam coins after I check it in youtube. Good to know that I didnt proceed to its website and open my metamask or else all my founds will definitely lose.

[fileo]

Some tokens are intentionally for advertising but some are not. I heard someone from our neighbor that his wallet got hacked without doing something expect for trying to swap the unknown token. Because of that I became aware and will not try to do swap the garbage tokens. Those tokens cannot harm us unless we connect our wallet to their site. Let us be careful

[ali1177]

I am tired of seeing these kinds of tokens in my wallet but i don't know how should I remove them whenever I received any token in my wallet I thought new worthy token come in my wallet but these are totally worthless. I have a solution why we can't send these tokens to unknown address.

[Woodie]

I have found myself receiving coins after a transaction on a number of different  occasions and this has happened on both the Ethereum blockchain and bsc chain and I don't know why people send these coins which hold no value at all.

But as I understand most of these coins are meant to mimic the real coins hence when it comes to exchanging them the hackers are likely to have the real coin and leave you with the bogus coins and not that the hacker will have access to my wallet...

It doesn't literally empty the token from the address, just hides the display from token metamask list and the token will remain visible if exporting your address to other wallet apps or checking it in explorer sites.

[Rana590]

Is this just an annoyance thing? 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.

Also, per the question, it depends on the type of wallet you're using but for metamask you can just highlight the token and remove it that way.

It's annoying and risky also. Do you think there is no reason behind sending this fake reason? Hackers always try to hack in new and different ways. We shouldn't avoid this issue. It may a reason to lose our valuable assets.

Maybe you need to just leave the token, it's not a problem if the token is in your wallet, many tokens have no current price, but there are certain times that the token will become valuable when you need it, tokens that have no selling value right now, but in the years to come, these tokens will be very valuable, so just focus on other tokens that you want to look for, let those tokens be in your wallet and don't need to be thrown away, if you benefit in the future maybe you can think again.

I've never experienced this before, but I've heard about wallet hacking by irresponsible people, even I've also heard a lot of tokens are lost for no apparent reason, I think all of this would be impossible if it wasn't for the hack people do, and strangely enough when the token or coin is gone there is no trace that we can find.

[velosepur]

Same situation here, I got many too. Just forget it, ignore cos nothing positive for you from that. Relax and dont spend your time regarding that fake coins.

[sukmo]

Greed is why people lose money this way and I think they deserved it, why trying to sell something you don't work for? You don't join any airdrops you don't join any bounty promotions and yet you received free tokens? You should be smart enough to know that senders are up to something

Yes, you say, if we do not work or follow any program and suddenly there is a token entering our wallet it needs to be suspected.
The best thing we do is ignore it.
Like the example I found.
I received a zepe io token of 750000 and I chose to ignore the token because I did not follow any of the programs.

Sadly, many people are scammed this way, moreover newbies that don't know or are not aware of this fake. And those who are very happy by receiving free tokens in their wallet and willing to sell them all by thinking that they can get money freely, in fact, they're scammed.

Actually, there are also some conditions where there are fake tokens that are sold in certain platforms connected to online wallets such as Trustwallet or Metamask. And some people who don't know that the token is actually not tradable yet bought them. In fact, the tokens have different smart contracts. This also needs carefulness.

[harizen]

Using our "common sense" is already enough to deal with this.

Just think of it, why would you end up swapping those if there's no way you can swap or trade it in the market. There's no even volume you can check on. I don't understand why would those fake tokens in someone's wallet will lead to a scam. I don't take the reason as being newbies for someone who will make attempts to trade or swap it.

[Gayong88]

Yes, everything you mention is sent randomly to all wallets, including me. and everything is clean if we look at it at a glance. they not only hack but also get a fee when someone is provoked to do a swab. I think this is because the estimated value is fantastic. In my opinion, just ignore the SC coins/tokens and for sure we are, we always remember the actual coins/tokens that we are waiting for to enter our wallet.

i using trust wallet and i did not check it for long time, most provably last week i checked my wallet in bscscan but i was surprised i had 3 coins but before i got reminder in form and i confirmed these are received from malicious contract address.

same with me, i got those three coins on my trust wallet too. it's a scam token. if you connect your wallet on their website, you'll lose some of your assets from trustwallet. it happens to my friends. they lost their BUSD and more. i suggest you to revoke all those token Smart Contracts.

if you careful, i think such accidental issues can be fixable, do not access or permission suspicious websites. so we need to clear browser cache in trust wallet. hackers will try to stole our money in this way.
