How to get rid of useless tokens

[SaveOurSea]

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.

you can't do something like that, because if your wallet is already public then scammers will also be very easy to send their tokens,
I'm also the same as you, usually I'm tricked into swapping, and the result is that the fees I send are wasted,
according to my opinion all address bounty hunter is really already registered in the scammers, because there are so many lists in the bounty spreadsheet and it's really open

[lixer]

It is best to not do anything about them as there are fraud/scammy smart contracts that can empty your wallet. I also hate seeing them. I currently have very weird tokens which has same name with some top 50 coins, but on erc20 or binance smart Chain. Totally fake. I feel like we should have some options to drop these coins from our Wallets somehow to void. But I think there is no technology to do that now.

This is true to some of the unwanted coins that I get. Usually when you search them you will see a website and it instructs you to paste your keys before you can unlock the coin. If you are a newbie that has a less knowledge in dealing with cryptos, you will likely fall for this trap.

Some of them will ask you to pay some amounts before you can unlock the coin so that you can sell them but of course nothing will happen after you pay them. They can copy the name of the original coins but it all boils down in the contract address. We always make sure that we check the coin's contract address and compare it to the original if we aren't sure about it.

Scammers can easily randomly send fake tokens and ask for the swap.

If you are not fully aware of this kind of tricks, you might be victimized and you will lose some amount of doing
the swap. It's always better not to entertain anything if you are sure that you don't have any participations just
leave it and don't waste your time checking and entertaining those scammers.

Create a new wallet that only you will know about. And transfer all your real coins to it. And use it only as storage. This will help to keep it clean for as long as possible.

Unfortunately it can't. If the token is dusting it's better not to do anything. if you try to transact anything with token dusting it will cost you assets in your wallet. Usually what I do if my wallet is sent a useless token or a scam token, I immediately replace a new wallet and move the assets to make it more secure. token dusting usually comes in because we often follow airdrops, so we have to be careful.

moving it to another wallet is a good thing to do if you have a lot of coins like that. however, personally, in my BSC wallet, there are so many types of such coins, and I prefer to do nothing with them. well, i know that it is a scam coin. the only good way is to move it to another wallet. however, there is no guarantee that the person will not send it to our new wallet. other than that, one of the reasons why these coins are also often sent in our wallets is because we have posted our wallet addresses somewhere, or basically the people who own the coins are also looking for victims for the dust coins they made.

That's why it's important that we must have several wallets and don't just have one wallet. Because at least we have to have a wallet which is not
known by many people, so we can store the coins we really want in our main wallet. Then provide the wallet that we prepared to follow the bounties,
so even though the wallet addresses are scattered and there are scammers who send unwanted tokens we are not too bothered. Most importantly,
we must ignore unwanted tokens that enter our wallets, because if we do something, we may fall into a trap. Such is the risk in the crypto world,
especially if we follow a lot of bounties, there will be a lot of unwanted tokens coming to our wallets. But if we have major wallets that only we and
our closest people know about, it's not something to worry about.

Ignore, you are only in danger if you try to sell tokens that aren't yours, that's what the senders want you to do anyway, its part of the plan.

agree with you the right step is to ignore or delete from the list visible in our wallet, because it is very vulnerable to selling coins that we never monitor in its development whether it's from airdrops or bounties though because we feel we never follow all the events, 
there are many ways to deceive the beginners in the crypto world

[bounceback]

Do not share that wallet address with anyone, do not even use it to participate in bounty campaigns, airdrops or connect to trade on the DEX exchange. Only you know about its existence and should only store important assets in it. You will never have those junk token transfers again. I did so and it has worked so far.

In the way you mentioned, we can easily do it so that we can stop accepting dust coins again into our wallet, actually ignoring dust coins in wallet is fine as long as we never exchange them because I personally also received some dust coins in my wallet but I ignored it and so far I haven't encountered any asset loss issues.

Looks like Ignore is the easiest thing we do, never think about opening the link in the token description, very risky because they usually have an evil program that will automatically record and steal the data we save on the PC.

That's really the way to go. Those useless tokens that are sending their shit tokens, we can just ignore them.
And if you want to do better with your addresses, don't publish them so that you won't receive any of those because some are collecting those addresses and makes it on their record.

True, this is the easiest way to avoid any form of fraud by ignoring it. Moreover, here the OP realized that he never did anything regarding the tokens that came suddenly. They (sending tokens) expect us to make transactions with tokens as they say to be able to access our wallet. I'd say all the users here also get lots of tokens like that, but as long as we ignore them, it's fine.

can be called it is a dusting attack.
although i've never gotten a token like that but one of my friends has been a victim of the token dusting attack. he lost all his valuable assets worth $40k and he feels very disappointed with the stupid thing he has done.
but that can all be used as a lesson for all of us, it is better to avoid tokens that we never know and never store valuable assets in a wallet that is used to participate in airdrops, it is better to store it in a special wallet. because usually dusting attacks get your private public address from airdrop participation.
i hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again to all of us

Random sending coming from those hackers and scammers are unavoidable so better not to open anything.

If you want to be safe in anyhow, just focus on those tokens / coins that you are aware
and forget about those that you don't know.

It will give you extra protections to any potential harm or scam from those shit tokens that
being sent to your wallet address.

I'd rather ignore it than I should get rid of it, and I think it's a waste of money for one delivery. Not to mention we don't know the risks if moving it, because there are so many in some of my wallets either BSC, MATIC, usually there are spam tokens sent from several projects that test the token..

Only way to ignore it but no way to remove it completely from our wallet, if you try to connect to a website to transfer them, your assets will disappear with them. The best way is to ignore them, or we can change to a newer wallet and do not share that new wallet publicly or use it to participate in transactions, just to hold your assets.

True, it's better to ignore all tokens that we do not know, they direct to the site to connect our wallet and we can be sure they will be our private hold, if we ever connect then the best thing is to immediately move all assets to other wallets.

Curiosity should not be applied with this kind of schemes, if you try to transfer those tokens

it will ask for transaction fees and it will open the door for those scammers or hackers to penetrate with your wallet,
your safe assets will surely be in a risky position, so better to ignore and not to give any chance to anyone to have
that glimpse to your assets, be vigilant and always secure your money.

There is no way to prevent the deposit of junk tokens in our wallet, because they find the wallet address based on the transactions we make. If it's an empty wallet, the trash token won't be in our wallet. They have backed up a number of wallet addresses, and sent them all at once using bulksender. Moreover, the wallet that we use to participate in bounty and airdrop projects. They easily backup it.

Such tokens keep coming to those addresses which smart contract addresses are spread in different places where scammers try to attract you by the tokens. None of which is known to the token holder. As far as I know there is no way to turn it off. But there is no alternative to using that particular smart contract address to get rid of it. But I think if those fake tokens are not connected to sell or transfer then there will be no problem.

[evichi]

It is really disturbing to see useless tokens in the wallet. My wallet is filled with useless tokens of all sorts. I think the best one can do now is to ignore them and simply take no action, as I understand they are very malicious and have the potential to drain your wallet if you interact with them (https://www.vice.com/en/article/epxxe7/received-some-random-cryptocurrency-it-might-be-a-phishing-scam). I believe in the near future, experts in the crypto space will develop the technology that can enable wallet owners to manage such tokens. But I wonder why most of these useless tokens are much on the Binance Smart Chain network.

[kawetsriyanto]

Some people do know that a token does not have a good value but they will see a vest on it because then want to make coffee in the Polish market so that is why many people cannot get rid of token that is valueless majors don't have any value in 20 years time it will still remain like that but people choose to invest in them because the lucky the understanding of researching or any token that is been launched

Probably, it is also because they are the victims of hype from many influencers. As we know, many newbies become the victims of those shit projects because they are only following the influencers, what on hype without doing any analysis. They even don't know what they are investing in, only believing in the influencers that the project is a hidden gem to hold for the long term, the project will skyrocket or to the moon after listing, and other promises that will convince the newbies or other people to attract in those new projects. But finally, when they are aware that those are all shit and trash, their money has gone. And for those useless tokens, we have nothing to do except as useless accessories (trashes) in our wallets

yes we can use brand new wallet and don't use that main wallet to participate in airdrop or bounty campaign no one will know about your wallet you will no longer get spam tokens. most people will get junk tokens, normally we are in the habit of ignoring them, but finicky and nasty people just need to create a new wallet, absolutely never try to use and touch them once out of curiosity, even a small action can jeopardize all assets in our wallet

Right now especially Binance smart chain has so many random free tokens sent to you even though you didn't participate in any airdrops or bounties. I don't know exactly the reason behind it but it's really good if we just ignore it and we just need to create another wallet and keep it personal without posting it in some airdrops to make it private so that only we know it. because just like the email address, they are now getting our wallet address to send some random tokens it is obvious they have evil motives why they are doing it.

[JangoUnchained]

Abandon the wallet and download another, just move the tokens that are yours and leave behind the fake tokens, those responsible want you to move or try to sell the fake tokens it's a trap, since I've switched from coinomi wallet to Trust wallet I've not seen those fake tokens again.
