About Scam coin in wallet

[danherbias07]

The issue is getting increasing these days

The scam has always been exist, there is no way to reduce them but to comprehend basic security for ourselves.

When we exchange or swap or transaction some kind of coin it's come with free free

What do you mean by "free free"?

By "free free" I mean that it automatically comes into our wallet after a transaction or swapping coin or deposit.   Moves to the wallet despite not wanting. But the main purpose of the question was whether there was a way to stop it. No one can stop it from coming to the cryptocurrency wallet, which I understand .

I only know that it happens when you add the contract address to your wallet list. But if not, there should be no way you should have it.
Another way it will end up in your account is when you join airdrops or perhaps your public address was used by someone else. But who does that unless there is another purpose for doing it? If one user wants to have the airdrop then he should be using his own public address.
After transaction, swap, or deposit? Perhaps you could provide something that would back up that claim because this is something new. Or perhaps someone is messing with you or you didn't know you joined an airdrop then it went in at the same time you made the transaction.

Now my question is What is the source of a scam wallet ?  And is there any way to get rid of it? Because many newcomers are suffering from it, we have not reached the stage where newcomers will get rid of it.

probably its because of using swap sites wherein reason sometimes you received unknown token in your wallet.  And for me i think no need to worry about it as long as you know you didn't share you private information and you are using a trusted wallet with high ratings.
So just ignore it and make sure to don't use any new platform out there that offering low fees especially if it don't have yet a feedbacks because its quite skeptical. Always be aware to prevent hacking.

It stems from our negligence when entering wallet access via a signature on the website, for example scam dapps, besides that our wallet could be obtained from a scam airdrop bot or scam airdrop form, They will send us a dusting token that can't be stopped and there is no solution to get rid of it because transacting with the token is the same as giving access to your fraudulent wallet.
my advice is just change a new wallet and move your valuable assets.

They are free tokens/coins, actually. You've got to be happy of receiving them but the problem is that you can't sell or swap them, they are not yet listed for exchanges. But I'm wondering why you have sent to an exchange? Haven't you checked it first before sending it? You'd have to do that first, it is surely there is a fee cut in your wallet as you are doing a transfer transaction.

You can check the sending address to know where comes but just the address only, you can't find the sender. And to think about stopping them? Apparently, that was a big problem because we can't do it.

...my advice is just change a new wallet and move your valuable assets.

It is useless to do this, as it does not solve the problem. Within a short time, your address will be available again for sending scam tokens, and accordingly, you will once again have to start a new wallet and move your valuable tokens to it. This is an endless process, the only solution at the moment is to simply ignore such tokens.

There is no way to stop the transaction of that token come to your wallet, just ignore the token and forget it. I understand what @OP means, if you want your wallet to look clean of such tokens replace your wallet address with a new one. But I think tokens like that in the future will continue to exist.

I also see this scam token in my all kinds of wallet and firstly i was also surprised about those tokens. But gradually i discovered those tokens are scam and they come to our wallet automatically. normally there will be dot(.) symbol in name of that tokens and you can guess that are scam tokens. Basically you will see those tokens only into scan and if you don't see those in explorer you can clarify those are scam also. just avoid it and nothing to do.

Scammers are sending out free tokens to any Ethereum wallet address that they can find online or anywhere, don't try to claim what's not yours in crypto space the end result will be very bad.

Most people who get scammed are tricked into it because of they simply allow greed to get to them. You're alright until you decide to cash out on what you feel it's a giveaway, not knowing it's a trap. My rule of thumb towards such scenario is if I didn't buy a token I shouldn't expect to get it. So, wherever I sight them in my crypto wallet I just act like they don't even exist there. The disturbing thing for me is that I'm not able to remove/delete them or even block any source that sends those scam tokens. It's annoying to find them in one's wallet, honestly.

Not only bad in the end but also getting nothing because tokens that are sent for free usually have no value in the market and many even have no market at all, because the purpose of the Scammer is to want to trap everyone in that very old-fashioned way. in every moment.
So it's better to ignore it than think about it.

That's right and we can't prevent those free tokens from getting into our wallets because they already have a system and send them randomly to our address,
it's better to forget and ignore it, don't think about it,
because things like that will always exist and I think it's just a waste of time to think about it

[Mamun74]

For my experience, My wallet have many fake token,there's have no value. Some coin autocratically comes to wallet.I Think many people's disturbed by it.I'm suggested to,You can ignore or avoid this type of fake token others You can change your wallet.Scammers are  sending fake token our wallet so just ignore this type of token.

What you are saying is absolutely true, because it would be a waste of time to think about it now, whereas in general there is much more that each individual needs to think about at this point than just focusing on the trash tokens that come in with

[Fesatmas]

Indeed, this is troubling for us, especially for beginners, not a few of them end up experiencing losses. Maybe for those of us who already know what to do when we get scam coins, it's not too much of a problem, we just have to ignore it. But for beginners it will be confusing itself, I think here our task is needed to provide education to beginners about this scam coin.

The problem is more common in those who do a lot of bounty and airdrop. Moreover this problem occurs during the transaction. One way to reduce this is to avoid joining other than authentic bounty or airdrop. Even then this dustattack will come , but we just have to be aware .You must refrain from swapping or exchanging this type of tokens

[ije07]

things like that often happen to some new tokens that will enter the market, moreover this token is getting very high hype, so many will take advantage of this situation to create fake tokens with different smart contracts, therefore it is highly recommended for beginners to find out Furthermore. accurate information before buying tokens because if we are wrong on the token smart contract then the tokens will not be able to be exchanged again and such tokens seem very difficult to get rid of my advice just ignore it if you get such tokens.

Probably the scammers hope that you will mistake their coin for some other one from your wallet. My guess is that the price on DEX is fake created through tokenomics manipulation. Then the liquidity is also fake and only the fee is charged from your wallet, which goes to wallet of scam token creator.
The only way to not get fooled is to simply check your wallet carefully and ignore any tokens you don't know.

Most probably on BSC network and Polygon which the fees are more cheaper, its ok to join bounties just know what’s worth the risk and don’t just mind those tokens since they can’t do anything on your wallet not unless you tried to exchange those scam tokens, don’t ever do this. I don’t know but scammers are growing as well, they became more innovative so we should always take care and don’t make any transactions on a unfamiliar tokens.

[X-ray]

the only thing that you can do about it is just to ignore it honestly, there is no point wasting your time over scam coin like this, getting rid of these scam coin will just opens up the chance of your wallet getting compromised.
instead if you ignore it, big fat chance you’re gonna be fine and your wallet will not gonna be compromised by these scammers.
if you are annoyed, there are some wallets that could give features like only allowing specific altcoin appearing in your wallet and ignore the others I guess like MEW

Don't care about the random token that sent to your wallet.

You gave too little detail to be sure how you were actually cheated (if you were cheated at all, and it wasn't just your mistake).
In any case, it's not your wallet that is the problem, it's just that someone probably prompted you to trade (possibly sell) the token you got for free.
If you want to avoid this type of situation, just keep your wallet in order and if something looks too good and, above all, is for free, you can almost be sure that it is a scam.
The best protection is your own vigilance.
