What to do with spam and scam tokens on my wallet?

[jaberwock]

Hi, please tell me, I have information that my wallet (BNB Smart Chain) has 9 tokens stored on it. Of them 2 tokens are normal: BNB and LUNA, the other tokens were sent to me by scammers. And now they are stored on my wallet. How can I get rid of them? How can I stop such "left" tokens from being sent to me? What do you do with such tokens? I tried to see these tokens through PancakeSwap and Trust Wallet, but they are not displayed there.

So you have 7 mine is 10 and there are more coming in one of my addresses alone, I just ignored these spam tokens some of the tokens are marked spam already so I need not do anything, on one of my wallets with so many spam tokens coming in I just changed my address by sending the good tokens that are left to a new address, I have to spend a fee but I have a peace of mind.

Awareness is the key if you are going to a DEX to trade these spam tokens will not show up only if you entered their contract address, scammers are skillful they do these to track addresses and imitate the tokens that are in your wallet in the hope that you will use the fake token to trade, so extreme caution is necessary on wallets where you keep your important tokens.

Those numbers are still small and nothing compared to what I have before.

Yes, there is more to come once your wallet is already infected. That's right, the only way to fix it is by creating a new wallet and transfer the legit coins there. Then this wallet shouldn't be used anywhere.

For the token to show in a DEX, we need to manually import them and enter their contract address, ticker, etc.. if it doesn't work then you might need to see their info if which exchange they are listed and just do the same procedure.

But, we need to ignore them because if not and if we try to trade them thinking they are legit, we might lose our legit coins. It's either because we will pay for the fee which was usually huge or our wallets will get hacked because we allow access to it during the trade.

We've seen those dusting attacks on which it is really just that pretty darn common but still there are lots or tons of people who do get victimized with this stuff due to lack of knowledge.
I admit out that there are really those moments back in the past or simply my first time that i have seen that my wallet does have different kind of coins on which showing that $$$$ value on which
it is really that impossible that you wont really be  that becoming interesting on trying to sell out immediately. Honestly, i have tested out and i did pay up for the fee which is incredibly high but it doesnt matter
on spending a few bucks for the sake of getting that thousands of dollars of money that you have on your account balance and viola, you have just spent out something for nothing.

I havent experienced any loss of assets or coins into my wallet though even i have tested out on trying to make transactions. MM and making out some transactions or permissions
are the reason on why some people do lose up their assets because they have been able to confirmed. So far i have completely stopped on dealing with those coins after i have
spend up with some fees for no reason or just believing on something which is really that a whole lie.

I can feel it 

But, we need to ignore them because if not and if we try to trade them thinking they are legit, we might lose our legit coins. It's either because we will pay for the fee which was usually huge or our wallets will get hacked because we allow access to it during the trade.

Indeed, just forget and ignore those shit coins. Because no matter how hard we think about it, they will still be in our wallet. If we intend to do something to them, it is actually a high risk and that is probably what hackers or scammers are waiting for.
So, if we are really bothered by the arrival of these coins, then just change to a new wallet. However, this also doesn't guarantee that one day you will get more shit coins like before.

This is called address poisoning according to Faisal2202. It is method used by scammers to probably monitor the address and it is hard to stop this kind of attack because you can not stop people from sending you coins or tokens. If you are uncomfortable then a change of address is needed.

Here is also a thread by Pmalek you can read through get some measures on attacks like this

U haven't experienced such this as address spam before I don't know why,  of may because I have a bounty section of the board on my ignore and I have never dropped my address on any airdrop page before so I think those scammers have no way to get my wallet address to spam their tokens their.

Anyways this is most expected by scammers who already have various method to steal users' information and this token spam are one of such method of spam attempt and I believe also the best possible way to handle such an attack is to either ignore those coins or if you have any free money to pay fees you can send them back to the address used in send it to you if you are afraid that the presence of those coins in your wallet may result into possible future security risks for your wallet which I doubt it possibility unless you allow that to happen.
