I appreciate your time and effort educating the community on this dusting attack. there are various other techniques which is used by scammers but as you mentioned we shouldn't touch or be bothered to do anything with the tokens which reflects in our wallet which doesn't belong to us and never ever click on any suspicious link or don't connect your wallet with any other sites where you are redirected.
Nothing comes free in this world hence anyone claiming to offer you anything for free is a possible scam. I would blame victims rather than the scammers here for believing that they can warn money without any effort.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Anyone should ignore any dust transactions found in the transaction history without interacting with the transaction details or opening any suspicious and unknown sites that may appear to them. Dust transactions, these small amounts sent to individuals, are an attempt to lure them into phishing sites and malicious websites in the first place. It does not pose a threat, and I see that this attack has become less effective due to increased privacy and security features in many crypto wallets, such as the dust isolation feature. Therefore, everyone should be more cautious and knowledgeable about their actions, researching if they encounter anything suspicious and not hastily connecting their wallet to any phishing domains to which they are directed or attempting to sell scam tokens or NFTs that they see without their knowledge in their wallets.

Being more updated and knowledgeable than scammers will be very useful for avoiding every trap spread by scammers. Dust transactions like that are quite disturbing, because many beginners get trapped and end up losing their assets and having their wallets drained. This will be very dangerous, but there are some wallets that include filters for dust coin transactions so that they cannot be accessed and are included in the spam list.

You are right, one way to defeat scammer and never fall into their hands is by always being one of two steps ahead of them, and to achieve this, we all must always give ourselves to new ideas, new knowledge, new way of doing things and so on, this gives us an edge over the scammers in the sense that, even before a scammer come up with an idea of how to carry out a scam, we ourselves already know or have an understanding of such an idea. And concerning wallets with such feature that filters dust coins transactions, I wouldn't mind if you recommend a good one to me. Thank you in advance.

This attack is same as the address poisoning attack by Pmalek, I will advice you to go through that thread to have more insight in the topic. This attack is not a thing to be concerned about just that immediately you notice it, the thing to do is move your funds to another wallet but this doesn’t have any harm yet. One of the things this does is something similar to clipboard malware where you got a slightly different address from the one you copy. So when you’re face with attacks like this do well to always check and check the receiving addresses so you don’t send the scammer funds This thread is a very informative one for me, because I've not had this kind of experience of receiving tokens from an unknown source before, so I'll have to be vigilant now in case if I receive such scam tokens. So the best thing is to move your coins to another wallet, I think that will be the safest thing to do, thankfully the process of opening new wallets is quite easy. Lastly the verification of wallet addresses before sending coins is very important, even beyond being scammed by these fraudsters, without carefully checking to see if each letter or alphabet corresponds with what you're about to send can lead you to send coins into a wrong account. I've had an experience where I copied an address into my wallet, before sending it my mind compelled me to crosscheck first, and to my greatest surprise there was a slight difference, I didn't know how it happened, I only suspected malfunction of my phone, since then I always crosscheck before sending.

So the best thing is to move your coins to another wallet, I think that will be the safest thing to do There is no need to move your tokens elsewhere. Plus, there are no guarantees that dusting attacks or poisoning scams won't happen on your new address as well. And if they do, you can't keep moving the tokens all the time. Apply the correct safety precautions when you send and receive crypto and you won't have to worry about something as unimportant as dusting scams.

You cannot prevent your wallet from receiving coins, you can manually check your addresses for dust UTXO's and you can also use coin control or address freeze if you want to avoid spending dust UTXO's, but like i said you can't stop it from entering your wallet. Having said that, you guys are making a mountain of a molehill, there is actually no need to worry about this thing, it is so so so unimportant. You should be looking for good, open source and non-custodial wallets.
