Fake token in wallet

[agustina2]

If there's a stranger in our wallet, there are ways to verify it. We are not in an era where confirming legit ones to fakes ones doesn't have a method.

Even we don't know the method, we have a large community to ask. Just create a thread at the right section then many will help here. Don't be afraid or be shy to ask about a problem. Fake tokens that are now in our wallets are not really harmful if we are vigilant.

I also got so many fake tokens in my BSC wallet. I think there's a scammer in the back of this fake tokens. They certainly have purpose. You will be pleasantly surprised to see the holder of the fake token. If the transaction fee 5 cent then they must need to spend a lot of dollars for those transaction. Why are they spending so much? Of course they have a purpose. Again it may be that they use holders number for getting investors. We need to avoid those coins. This token should not be confirmed for swapping. Stay away from those fake tokens.

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.

so whether the fake token sent to our wallet address will harm the wallet we use? if it doesn't harm we can not ignore it, but if it's dangerous it seems there is concern from every token recipient

Those aren't harmful until anyone’s trying to sell and share his/her wallet access to those scammers. Basically, those token's smart contract is deployed just to do trade into their particular website where we need to submit wallet access (private key/ memoric phrase) in order to connect for selling as we can't sell those in pancakeswap(bsc) or quickswap (polygon). Those just ignore and let those be in your wallet like dust. 

[DOH!]

Everything they do is geared towards our curiosity or simply greed. I noticed something for my BSC wallet with the token GoFlux.io(Flux), it has a contract with the name Fake_Phishing61. It's good that everything is alerted if you feel curious but not over the limit "Warning! There are reports that trying to withdraw or move this token via their website could lead to a loss of funds. Please exercise caution when interact with the contract address."
Be wary of strange tokens like these.

i will suggest you continue to update this post with fake tokens been distributed to people. some of these tokens are fake and scam. people might loose their funds when they trade to exchange these tokens. i found it difficult to believe but it is possible especially on tron and bsc. when you interact with some of these smart contract. your account becomes vulnerable. your may loose all your token at last. it is possible. a recent rugpull happened on solana and people loose more when they tried to remove their LP by interacting with smart contract.

Greed does not guarantee a controllable level of security, greater curiosity is not an advantage for us, if it continues to be developed with less knowledge, it is necessary to be wary of tokens that are not clear, what else have you tried to withdraw or move the token, please be careful -days against interactions with contact addresses that are not clear.

something that starts without knowledge, is not a good and promising thing, greed is the closest to destruction, need to watch out for tokens that are not clear, especially with a lot of spam done by these tokens, nowadays many hackers are taking advantage of people who less alert and not knowledgeable in a particular wallet.

There are hackers sending out fake tokens which replicate legit ones and i have heard about many people falling for those scams as once you try to connect them to a DEX then you might be vulnerable to an attack. I am not sure about the facts because i usually neglect these strange tokens in my wallet.

Even we don't know the method, we have a large community to ask. Just create a thread at the right section then many will help here. Don't be afraid or be shy to ask about a problem. Fake tokens that are now in our wallets are not really harmful if we are vigilant.

All you need to look is the contract address and if they are not the contract address of the coin your are holding, it is a fake one and you do not need someone to help you in checking that.

I also want to know exactly what made him lose some tokens, because from the post we can understand, that for every lost token there are several basic reasons that occur, first because it was stolen by hackers or wrong in buying and selling, maybe more precisely there mistakes made, so the token just disappears.

Nah, he's just minding off about those fake tokens in his wallet and this isn't talking about lost tokens on his own personal wallet.To answer this up there had been some reports or rumors that these fake

tokens are the way for scamming out gas fees or something like that.I cant be sure on whats the true motive or system of this that's why it would better if you do just simply ignore these tokens

because what matter most here is that you do able to protect your seedphrase and wont be compromised externally.

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.

just ignore and never try to trade it in decentralized exchanges because many holders become victim.

so whether the fake token sent to our wallet address will harm the wallet we use? if it doesn't harm we can not ignore it, but if it's dangerous it seems there is concern from every token recipient

as long as we didnt anything to this token our wallet will safe. nothing dangerous if we ignore this token.

My wallet is filled with all these worthless coins. I have no idea who sends all these coins. Coins that have no value are what they gain by coin wallet sending.

yeah. i am not a prolific developer or coding skills but there are loads of loop holes on tron and BSC smart chains where a programmer design a token, sent it to multiple wallet and whenever you tried to exchange that token any exchange, you will loose funds from your wallet. it seems like interacting with the smart contract creates a back door for the hacker to assess your wallet. once you interact with the smart contract, it is possible that your funds will be collected from your wallet.

It's those developers that are trying to scam you. They have no value and if something shows that it has value, you'll try to panic as if you're going to exchange that quickly and take the profit.
But little did you know that they're baiting you to fund that wallet of yours and send it to where it's only listed for you to trade.

That one is a very popular way of scam, but some people still fall from these scams.

If you still remember this news https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53425822.. that's one of the most successful scams.

Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are among many prominent US figures targeted by hackers on Twitter in an apparent Bitcoin scam.

The official accounts of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kanye West also requested donations in the cryptocurrency.

"Everyone is asking me to give back," a tweet from Mr Gates' account said. "You send $1,000, I send you back $2,000."

The US Senate Commerce committee has demanded Twitter brief it about the incident next week.

Only prove that there are still a lot of people who are greedy but has no knowledge of the different style of scams.
Too good to be true offers usually are scams.

I remember that scam but it's a different approach from those scammers that are putting dust tokens to the wallet addresses of those newbies.
But both scams are really popular and still, there are those newbies that still fall for it. People should learn that there's no easy money even it is in cryptocurrencies.

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)
*ABFIN.org (ABFIN)

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

I see that Thevera.io, minereum BSC and Airstacks.net in my binance wallet address as well good think I do research first before going and claiming those today that turns out to be a clickbait fraud tokens.

[Lubang Bawah]

I've been a bounty hunter since 2016, because I get paid a lot of tokens, so many projects fail so they are never available on exchanges, of course this is a trash token and there's nothing we can do with the trash token, we just hope that one day the project wakes up so the token can be valuable.

[haasanjui]

There are many fake token comes in your wallet through joining fake airdrops and bounties which can scam your wallet forever and then it can't be recover so kindly make an other wallet and if you have fees then send fake tokens to other wallet or if not then delete asset from you wallet of fake token because fake tokens are harmful.

It is not a good solution to send fake tokens to other account. It will be harmful for your wallet. I think it is better to avoid these kinds of fake tokens. If we create new account, we will get fake tokens again. We need a smart solution to solve this problem.

[Ruvi2000sew]

Despite my efforts to minimize my participation in airdrops, similar items continue to arrive in my personal wallet. I've heard a lot of cautions about stuff like this, and while it's not a major problem to me, it's something that newbies to the area should be aware of because it's quite frequent. If you try to sell it, you will almost certainly lose money.
