How to get rid of useless tokens

[tabas]

Is there any way to stop unwanted tokens deposits in my wallet? I have used two different types of crypto wallets and I keep getting tokens I know nothing about, I read that those tokens are scammers trap and moreover I never worked for it.

Do not post it publicly.
So the best thing to do is to abandon that wallet with scam tokens or unwanted tokens and then make a new one. Transfer your important assets from that wallet to the newly made wallet of yours.
And never post the address publicly so that marketers won't get a copy of your address for which they'll send those tokens in a batch along with other info that they've gathered.

It's annoying to have a collection of shittokens in wallets except empty wallets with no transaction history, but there's nothing you can do about shittokens other than ignore them, shittokens are locked for transfers except for successful one-on-one transaction approvals when swapping on pancakeswap and usually cutting high transaction fees , my friend once lost $15 only transaction fee for swap approval transaction on pancakeswap.

Not posting publicly or changing to a new wallet also doesn't solve it. There are blockchains scanners so you can't prevent them even if you try to hide it from the public. Scammers can take snapshots of addresses with balances and send them tokens.

Probably the best thing is to get a wallet that has a feature to hide tokens you don't want.

That is why you should limit yourself exposing you public address unless necessarily. You are not alone and we have experienced it too, but if that is unavoidable, you should just disregard the tokens, don't bother looking at them or if you wanna change address, it is also possible right? The is the best option and start new. I hope there could be a way to dissolve these tokens. Like for example what binace has, you can convert small different amounts of tokens than are not tradable due to minimum requirements, it can be converted to bnb which is one of the features I like the most in this exchange.

I had the same problem. Unfortunately, I have not found any solution and there is probably no one. I just opened one address where I keep my long term cryptocurrencies, and wherever I publicly give my address, I create a new one for this need.

The benefit of crypto is that, you could ignore stuff in your wallet and it would just be fine as it is. Not like some tokens in your wallet could pose a threat to you if you do nothing about it. Sure if you follow instructions on how to withdraw it or cash it out then it will take you to a place that will scam you, so you should be VERY CAREFUL. But if you just ignore it, and move on with your life then nothing will happen.

This is a bit weird for many people, because you do not see for example 100 chinese yuan on your bank account all of a sudden, you think "dude I never been to china in my life and never worked with any chinese, how did this get in here???" and try to find an answer to that right? Well in crypto you do not have to, and this is a brand new feeling to people. Just let it be, ignore it, and move on with your life.

Users will be receiving tokens in huge numbers. When we have known about those tokens as a trap, the right thing to do is ignore. This is not a new thing happening now, this is seen from the days of ICO. We know what we've transacted, so just use those tokens and not the unknown ones to avoid unwanted spending. I've seen this much on the myetherwallet.

[Lagduf]

even vitalin’s wallet got infested by all these shitcoins don’t get your hopes too high honestly in solving this thing because i guess it’s never gonna be solved, scammer will just spam their shitcoins in your wallet in effort of luring someone innocent into thinking that they got some sudden prizes meanwhile that’s just the trick made by these scammers for deceiving.
at this point you should just a wallet that has feature for ignoring all these scam coins otherwise I see no real solution for this to be honest.

There is nothing you can do to stop receiving those unwanted "airdrops". You probably posted your wallet address somewhere and they found it and now they are sending you random useless tokens that are indeed scammers trap. All you can do is just ignore those tokes and not touch it. Having those tokens in your wallet won't cause you any harm. Or you can move all your coins to a different wallet and make sure not to share the address publicly. Use one address from sharing publicly and another to keep it private.

Over the years that I have joined airdrops (lots of them) and bounty campaigns, I have amassed quite a lot of useless tokens. Either from scammed projects or those which I failed to monitor that switched to their own blockchains. Those tokens are just there sitting and useless crowding my portfolio. I guess you can do nothing about them but just mere souvenirs. Since then I have switched to other faucets of crypto and moved on.

Don't bother about it, just ignore them. Don't be curious and try to exchange them, you won't lose anything. Maybe you posted your wallet address somewhere, or participated in airdrop events for rewards and unknowingly became the target of scammers. This is quite common and it happens to most people, there have been a lot of warnings about this. So just ignore them, don't try to find a way to block them it will take time because it won't stop.

[Dr.Osh]

this seems to happen to a lot of people, myself included. well, the BSC wallet I have has a lot of obscure coins. I sent it to someone, and when I checked it on pancakeswap, it was pretty fantastic. Well, almost all coins have this, but when you try to sell it, it doesn't work. however, I assume that it is a scam coin, and it is. until now, I'd rather ignore coins that have such a type. other than that, there is no way to stop this if we continue to expose our wallet addresses. So, the best option is to ignore it.

[StormHawk]

I always thought that those tokens are showing up because of many airdrops I have participated in but I am surprised that with a new crypto wallet you will still get the same shit tokens deposited in your wallet, I am worried for the future of crypto because hackers and bad actors are not slowing down a bit, we need better security.

[Cryptomiles1]

This is a results of trying to execute trade or using DEX to swap BSC token, its common with Binance Smart Chain nothing can be done about it. i will suggest you to use Trustwallet maybe you won't see any useless token less until you scan your wallet through bscscan before such token will be seen inside but do not be afraid also don't try to swap any of those token as it is a trap for you.

There's no way to stop that useless token deposit because everyone else experiences the same thing when it comes to making transactions on the BSC network, because I also experienced this kind of thing which I basically really didn't want so I could just ignore it without having to care though looks a little annoying.

That is the disadvantage of the ethereum blockchain scammers can easily interact with users using the smart contract, one hardly sees this on the Bitcoin blockchain. You can't create another wallet address and try as much as possible to keep it private if you are a bounty hunter your ethereum address can easily be gotten from a bounty spreadsheet when scammers get access to your information they will use it to spam your wallet with malicious tokens all in attempt to scam you.

[bonyaserg]

Personally, when I receive such tokens that are worth nothing. I just forget about them and take them easy. And for the future, I want to warn everyone that the wallet is completely safe. You should always check your wallet. And if new useless tokens come to you again. Then you just need to ignore these tokens and not look for opportunities to sell them. Because you can put your wallet at risk.

[danherbias07]

No difference with MEW. Trust Wallet has the same problem just when you added one token to your list then it will be like a wave of different coins being added to you. Millions in amount, will make you ask yourself if there is value and try to do anything to sell it. Look for an exchange, even the bottom ranking exchange, and figure out how to send it there and worse, pay the fees.
That's how they do it, then your account will succumb to darkness.
If it's possible, create a new one, and send all the important coins even if it means spending.

As annoying as it may be, there's nothing one can do about it. But you can prevent yourself from falling for their scams by avoiding those tokens like a plague. Just don't try to swap it, because when you do, you will lose your funds.

There's no way to stop it since it was randomly transferred into your public address. the only thing that you can do to create a safe wallet that rarely published. this may help you to avoid that but this will never work forever. It's just working temporary until your transactions will be known by scammers and they will be sending you another scam token again.

Yeah i know that but that will never worked. If you are actively doing transactions and your tx will be recorded by blockchain.
