How to get rid of useless tokens

[MiF]

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.

There is no problem you can delete them all i have so many tokens from the signature campaign from year 2017 and most of those token is now use less and no value, but i still did not delete them it serve us a souvenir from those campaign that is not become successful that time, because i also earn some valuable token and i sell them in a good price with the same year the tokens that still in my wallet without value and abandoned by developer serve as a rembrance and it is also a token from my hard work so i am proud of holding it even the value is very low.

I know that touching the scam token is very risky. It seems like that the only solution to let it still there in your wallet and you can do nothing about that. If you wanna try to avoid the wallet and just try to make sure your public address being secured privately.
The useless tokens are so annoying for us. It's making even harder for us to know which tokens that available in our wallet. It's better not to put yourself into the risk by touching it.

Yes, it's too risky to touch. however, we don't know what kind of scam is involved in the coin. other than that, I understand how annoying the coins are. I even have more than 10 such tokens, and I also sometimes don't realize which are the real assets I have, and which are the scam tokens. however, for now, it's best to leave the coins in our wallet.

I do know that if these shit tokens were plague in our wallet. It would be better if you can migrate from your old to the new wallet but when your activity to participate in the various airdrops are so high and you will be also facing another chance for your wallet will be sent another scam tokens from scammers again. You need to rarely publish your wallet to prevent scammers will able to send scam to tokens to your wallet. This pretty simple but again your public address can contain the garbage token again once you are making your address available in the public spreadsheet

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?

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.

Any transaction in this case will be comparable to the fact that you yourself publish your wallet address on a public page. After all, thanks to the blockchain, your address becomes known to everyone, including robots that collect addresses for such scam coin mailings.

To grow in price token must be useful for people to be in demand. Now NFT very popular and a lot of new collections appear that offers new interesting products and tools like https://twitter.com/Buakaw113/status/1517463376066396160 which offers NFT from the fighting ring to the digital world.

The competition beween cryptocurrency projects now is very high but it is very important to check how useful is the project to understand the demand in it.

A lot of new tokens appear every day but a lot depends how useful is the project and how it is in demand.
Many tokens do not have any practical use at all.

need to refrain under certain conditions, making posts to the public, forums or social media also does not produce any solutions to solve your problem, but we need to know which wallet he is using, as well as the questions you asked, so we can make an analysis and what what actually happened

No way to do that you cannot block tokens that are being sent to your wallet, you can ignore these tokens or get another wallet and leave that wallet, this is another scheme of scammers they sent you their tokens so you can check them out and lure you to check and invest but if you know how to look on a good project you will not fall to this kind of scheme.

Not because there are thousands of holders of these tokens you will trust the scammers will try to make the project looks good by having a huge number of holders, it's very deceptive so you have to dig deep, and based on my observation airdrops that are coming from an unknown source are scam tokens.

Maybe this is very difficult for us to prevent because our wallet address has been spread when following the project so that they easily send scamer tokens that we do not want, to avoid things that we do not want then never setuh the token let alone want to exchange it because later it will be easy to happen things that we do not want.

even if you don’t follow any campaign your address still gonna get some random scam tokens anyway it’s just ridiculous that these scam tokens are being created everyday
I think the scammers just send their newly created scam tokens randomly to any existing address out there regardless if there is any owner of the address or not, in short they are just doing some sort of gambling with this effort.

How does it comes becoming risky when touching them? Did someone ever try being harassed or threatened? I actually receive some of these useless coins (accidentally or not) but never do I experience such a scenario as messaging me on telegram or maybe there is, however, I don't talk to PM, especially if I don't know that person or if e never expect someone to do that.

Well, if you are afraid to delete it, then better to ignore them and abandon that wallet.

Usually this do happen on bep20 or binance related kind of transactions or using up swap sites based on experience on where you would really be getting those shitty tokens
would credit out into your wallet address but i would say that this isnt something that you should really be stressing out yourself for this one.If you arent doing something
with those coins then let it be and ignore it as long you dont act something in related to it then you should be fine.

It is because your wallet address is exposed and many scammers want to collect wallet addresses that are used then send a token that will be used to tempt people into selling it or transfer to another wallet. Best way to do is do not touch it at all or the most safe one is to never use that wallet again. I also have the same situation the same as yours where I also receive scam tokens but I didn't touch it and didn't have problem or issues at all.

That mostly happens once you lack privacy and you have posted your address publicly, so definitely its one way of scammers to get into the real contents of your wallet. So just ignore everything about them, useless tokens will forever be a burden for all of us. However, its good if you can create a new wallet, just make sure to keep your address not to share it publicly.

True and therefore there is no use in getting worried about those coins. In reality getting spammed with shit tokens should not be matter of concern, rather ignore them like you ignore trolls on social media.

The one who become curious and attempt to get more such coins will be suffering from losses designed to hunt their mode of search. Better forget and only track the coins you need to know.

Remember that there is nothing called free money and crypto is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

after your wallet address is known to scammers for token dusting attacks then it can't be avoided or eliminated they will continue to send you dusting tokens so if you're not careful you will be stuck for the transaction, usually the price estimate is fantastic, even people who get it will always be tempted to sell it . The method is that we always replace the wallet periodically to avoid our own negligence.

Since they sent this token using Binance Chain where the fee is very low you can create a new wallet and send all these tokens to your new spare wallet, if you have 10 useless tokens you will not even spend $5 so if you find these useless tokens annoying and misleading then be willing to spend for the transaction fee.

[riso2015]

in essence we live in a digital world now, of course we can't stop anyone from sending random tokens to our wallets, in my opinion the first step to take is, we have to make a wallet that can really protect ourselves from things like that, sometimes we also make mistakes without us knowing it, we have published and have written an email address and then we share it on Twitter.

This is the first time I hear that someone receives tokens just like that, you must have registered somewhere for a giveaway/airdrop or something similar, and that's where the tokens are coming from!
Have you researched those tokens at all? Are they listed anywhere? Like on coingeco or coinmarketcap? Do they have any value?
There is only one way to get rid of them and that is to make a new wallet! Be more careful with the new wallet, and for adventures in the unknown, use the old one!

You can have as many public and private wallets as you want, but you can't stop someone from sending you tokens you don't want. I understand how annoying and disturbing it is. Just relax and let it be; as long as you don't click it or add your contact information to your wallet, I don't see any harm in it. After all, some of these anonymous hackers have created bogus websites and scam communities to attract people to invest in their projects. I'm sure we are all aware that some tokens are scammers, and you don't want your account to be harmed, so just ignore them.

[Innerpumper]

There is no way to get rid of that dusting token for sure. I'm sure those who received dusting tokens in their wallets left the tokens there, because making any transactions from the tokens is tantamount to handing over wallet access to scammers to take our tokens. Another thing we can do is change the wallet regularly, never put big assets here, because any current wallet if it gets dusted there is no way to recover it.

You will recieve token and there is no way to stop deposit scam token but there is some wallet which prevent scam token to show you. These wallet automatically hide these scam token so I recommend you to use these wallets.
Safepal is best for this service. You will be shown only those token which have some value and not scam token. Bitkeep wallet is also good but it will always ask to add token when new token arrive in your wallet.
