Once scammers have obtained the information about your public address, nothing can prevent them from sending you whatever they want. Just do not touch unknown tokens, never try to sell them, swap them or send them. You will likely be scammed executing a malicious smart contract if you try to interact with these malicious coins. If you are worried about scammers spamming your address, you can create a new one that scammers will have a hard time finding out about. Share your new address with those only who you fully trust that they won't scam you. Although that won't completely protect you from spam, it at least temporarily minimizes its amount. Another solution would be to stop using a hotbed of scammers such as Ethereum for good and focus on less "smart" cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which don't allow for sophisticated ways of scamming users through complexities of turing-complete languages.

I am used to getting random fake tokens in my wallet  , it can be annoying at times but there is nothing you can do about it, leave those tokens as they are and remove them from the display of your wallet's dashboard, even if you abandon such wallet for another you will still be sent those fake tokens.

just like what witcher_sense said, it would be best to just ignore them. posting your public address on forums, social media, etc... would increase the chance of you experiencing the same thing. it would be best if you refrain from doing that. just curious, what wallets were you using?

Use a good hardware wallet which is the best you can use for altcoins, online altcoins wallets are susceptible to phishing attacker and hacker's penetration. After you create another wallet, send your coins to the another wallet and be careful of any offers which may again lead to scammers sending you tokens to be able to hack your wallet.

You can't stop anyone who send you random tokens on your wallet, but you could hide/blacklist those unwanted tokens... however it depends on the wallet itself. Some wallet do have that features and some wallet don't. Did you ever write your address in anywhere e.g. telegram, twitter etc? This could be the case since you're publicity your own address and anyone think the address still got controlled by you.

Strange, my own part of the story is different, I have a separate wallet for holding coins and tokens and I have never share my wallet address with anyone, the first time I made a transaction from the wallet to binance exchange I got a free token which is a scam token, this trick is getting interesting because once I made any transaction I will get a scam token deposited in that wallet.

Not that you are lucky to receive a bunch of shitcoins. It was indeed bothering us but we can't rid these shitcoins out from our wallet nor stop an unknown person to send you. You'd rather ignore them, that was the best thing to do rather than bothering yourself by thinking about how to stop and eliminate them. A lot of people have this experience also, we could think this become usual, especially you are joining airdrops before, in many cases, this becomes a reason why you keep receiving useless coins.

Scammers are obvious tracking exchanges addresses so when you interacted with that address, they obviously got yours so that's how you ended up getting scam tokens.   I don't think that is possible to avoid getting unwanted shitokens as long as you are into altcoins so might as well get used to it as nothing you can do about it.

Use a good hardware wallet which is the best you can use for altcoins,

Using hardware wallet won't save you from getting unwanted scam/shittokens.

The best try would be stopping your address to be posted publicly. Most of the people join a lot of airdrops and sadly most of these airdrops are scam. They wont pay you anything but will collect your address and later make you a target. I hope you got the point I'm trying to make here.

Do you mean those coming from the Binance chain I'm getting 2 to 5 of this every week and its not even a cause of concern as long as you're not adding their contract address to your wallet it will not show up, or if you can afford to spend you can send these useless tokens to a spare wallet while the transaction fee is still low, it will be annoying in the future or it might cause confusion.

with work of evaluation crypto investors might have with support of confirmation referring returns with the work on model of the selection. to return with least on risks as the decision as releasing spares of part with resource on possession. and gains on extent with the improvement of plan as similar with uses of dedication as investors worked on chance with returns of deductive notion.

One can not stop receiving such unwanted coins in the wallet. Most of us receive such coins in our wallets. The important thing is we should not try to swap or sell such coins that are not in our knowledge if we do so we can probably lose our other coins as well so better to ignore such coins whether they show value.

Many coins of this kind are sent for free in the wallet, the coins are not valuable for us to exchange, so don't think this kind of coin has an exchange rate in the market, we don't know for sure what their purpose is to send the tokens to our wallet, because if you say fraud not all coins are the sent has that concept, we often refer to these coins as shitkoins that don't have any upgrades going forward, so it's better to ignore and not do anything that harms us

I don't think you can stop anyone from sending you fake tokens that enter your wallet, but what you need to do is ignore the token without clicking and following the prompts of the token link, that way your wallet will most likely be safe from hackers, if you are not comfortable with the incoming tokens you can hide/blacklist the tokens you don't want.

[Baofeng]

I guess you can't stop someone from sending you unwanted tokens and maybe I can speak for others as well that we have received some shit tokens to our wallet without our knowledge. And if this is a scam token, usually it will be flag so that no one will fall for the trick. But in cases that they are not, then all you can do is to simply ignore. You have the responsibility to know where all your tokens are coming from. If it is from someone you don't know then you don't need to act on it.

You can’t do anything about it, just ignore it or have a new wallet and don’t share any details of that wallet to anyone. You can have your public and private wallet as much as you want, just mind the fees of the transactions. If you don’t want to pay for the fees, better to ignore it and never try to make any transactions with that scam tokens, they can hack your wallet once you attempt to sell it.

Yes exactly, it is very annoying to see lists of shit tokens in the wallet moreover they are fake and also scam tokens.
But so far, there is no chance to delete the tokens or even to prevent the scammers will not send the tokens anymore.  Because they will always try and wait for the owners to be traped on the tokens, thinking that the tokens are worthy and willing to sell, but those are exactly scams.

just like what witcher_sense said, it would be best to just ignore them. posting your public address on forums, social media, etc... would increase the chance of you experiencing the same thing. it would be best if you refrain from doing that. just curious, what wallets were you using?

Totally agree. And we should not be trapped on the tokens themselves.
Just ignore them and let it be, consider that they were not in our wallets although it may be difficult because this really makes bad eye seeing

I also experienced the same thing as you, don't ever make a sale transaction for the token, you will be directed to their fraudulent site, if you make a balance in your wallet it can be drained by thieves.

Sell tokens in your wallet based on your work in the Bounty campaign, ignore the rest.

Once your public key or address goes anywhere public, you're never gonna be free from these scam tokens. The best you can do is to leave them as it is and remove them drom showing on your wallet page.
