We can do nothing about this, excluding handling it smartly. If we make any dumb decisions on it, we might lose our funds. That is why, when we receive coins or tokens in our wallet, we should first verify them before performing any action on a decentralized exchange, such as swapping or anything else; otherwise, we should do nothing. If we receive any token with the same name, first we should verify the contract address with the official documents or official handle. Because sometimes we see the same token with the same name as a popular coin, which might be a fake, but we should match the exact contract address with the official address. And we should add our token on the decentralised exchange with the contract address, not by searching for the name. I hope you understand. Thank you.

We have to check the smart contract before making any transaction on the coin, after checking that the coin is not allowed to transfer but the fee is still deducted higher, besides that there is fake liquidity in pancake swap to cheat the holder of randomly transferred tokens. So the coin scam is left without any transactions to maintain the security of the wallet so there is no chance of being hacked.

Many people don't know if scam coins have been sent to all addresses and for beginners it is very rare to check on a smart contract, but you are right that there is no need to pay attention to the scam coin rate on dextool or poocoin because of fake liquidity, because maybe the code on the smart contract is still locked for transfer and sending coins, so it doesn't get drained of the liquidity that has been added to pancakswap.

Checking out your;

1. Erc20 based wallet
2. Bsc based wallet

If you do make out some in depth search about internal tx's inside your wallet then you would see tons of coins which you dont
know on where it originated or came from but its better to ignore because those are just shitty coins.
Dont tend to make out some involvement on selling it.

Every Wallet is indeed very many scam coins that enter, and we are often trapped because of the many projects that we have participated in so that we are hesitant about the incoming coins, but the thing we have to do to make sure the coins are scam we can enter the address of the coin in the blockchain explorer and there will be seen that the coin is a scam or not, then in this case we must be careful with the scam coins because it can drain our assets.

The issue is getting increasing these days.When we exchange or swap or transaction some kind of coin it's come with free free,In the my first time I have been a victim of it many times, at first I was surprised and very happy to see it, then when I went to swap or exchange the tokens I see only my fee is being cut but there is no exchange or it is not going to be done .
Now my question is What is the source of a scam wallet ? And is there any way to get rid of it? Because many newcomers are suffering from it, we have not reached the stage where newcomers will get rid of it.

my question is where do you get the altcoins in your wallet?? because at this time a lot of phishing altcoins are sent to our wallet address. and we think that it is a "Real" altcoin that we accept, but in reality it is just a scam altcoin. so my advice is to ignore all altcoins that enter your wallet, except the altcoins you buy and the altcoins you receive from various other means such as bounty campaigns and airdrops.

Yes, when we find any coins that suddenly enter our wallets, it's better to just ignore them,
most likely it is a scam coin and no need to panic,
I think almost everyone has experienced it so there's no need to worry

Try avoid dust attacks, some scammers use this method for stealing your ERC20 tokens with sending dust scam tokens to active ETH addresses. Instead of paying high token transaction sending fee, ignore that token. One of worst example for such case can be Kick token, 888,888 tokens sent to active ETH address just to promote the useless exchange.

Receiving dust tokens is not necessarily an attack. What you are talking about is just airdrop, which is sending just dust for advertising purposes (but maybe it's a scam, I don't know this token or exchange). If someone sends us free tokens, it may be just a marketing campaign, but it can also be a scam. The easiest way is to just ignore these types of tokens, but we can also do research and check whether the project that sent them to us is legit or not. We should definitely not make any transactions if we are not sure that it is a real legit coin or token.

Actually it baffles me two, I will be wondering how manage those coins get into my wallets and they have no use, beside if you attempt swapping them the scammers might end up having some details and you will lose some of ur BNB for network fee you have in your wallet. Must times I thought they gets some of these wallets from some work spreadsheets, just to send scam coins to flood our wallets.

...The disturbing thing for me is that I'm not able to remove/delete them or even block any source that sends those scam tokens. It's annoying to find them in one's wallet, honestly.

Apparently Etherscan has heard our requests and starting from April 9 offers its users the opportunity to "Hide transactions involving tokens with Poor Reputation from the Address page" https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1512785670418628609?s=21 "For those tired of the spam or spoof tokens cluttering up your address page on Etherscan, simply head to your Token Ignore List and choose to hide them".

the important thing is that you don't swap or sell the scam coins so your wallet will remain safe.

If you try to sell such a coin using a proven DEX such as Pancakeswap or Uniswap, that you will not lose your coins stored on the wallet. The loss of coins occurs at the moment when, after you were unable to sell this coin on DEX, you go to the fraudulent website that is listed for this coin and try to sell it there, mistakenly signing a permission to withdraw funds from your wallet.

Such coins coming from metamansk and trust wallet often annoy people tremendously. Even financially and mentally. First came a coin called Minerium in my metamask wallet. I have been working in this field for the last three years. When the minarium came into my account, knowing its value, I saw a very high value. Then I did research on it in about one to two days. My gas fee was also cut and because of this I was also mentally disturbed. To date, I have five to six Metamansk accounts .And how many such tokens have been dropped in each. I don't pay attention to it anymore. So if any such person who you have, who you have not bought, also comes in your account, always take the advice of others, ask about it in a group, ask an expert, check its contract address and proceed in it.

If you Use Android phone so I will recommend to use Safepal soft Wallet. One of biggest feature of Safepal wallet is that it will not show Fake and scam coins and no need to add manually true coin,it will add automatically. You can also check the contract address and copy which is available just above your recieving address.
Most of these scam and fake coins name is similar to big coins like Ape.

The safepal wallet feature is great because it doesn't show scam tokens but some other tokens also don't add to the balance before being added manually. I also have a safepal wallet to attend WHO events due to many potential projects listed, but safepal wallet doesn't have full control aka non-custodial because we can't have private keys of every wallet other than mnemonic-phrases.

Well what i fell recieving fake coin in your wallet is not consider as scam but when you try to sell your that fake coin then they ask you to connect wallet through their platform{type of phishing attack} which is Actually a scam you are connecting you wallet with fund to an unknown site to sell your coin it is also main part of the scam , So if you are recieve any fake coin just hold it, and remove it from your Dashboard
Their are certainly some way to find fake token it should end with { .io .Com or any other like .xyx} i already adviced many people don't connect your main wallet to any unknown site or if you still wanted to connect just create a new account it hardly take 1 minute

These types of tokens usually happen when swapping takes place on pancakeswap over the bsc network. Whenever I trade on pancakeswap, they send at least 1 - 2 such scam tokens directly to my wallet. Such tokens are already known by their names. Also, enter the contract addresses of these tokens and check the comment section. Users write that they are direct scams as comments. I recommend that you do not trade for these tokens because your wallets have been stolen. Let them stay as they are. Or if you're uncomfortable, send those tokens directly to an empty wallet.

beginners will usually be very happy to receive strange coins that enter their wallets without knowing who sent the coins.
actually it is a scam coin that is sent to find victims who they will hack the victim's wallet to retrieve the valuable coins that are held by the wallet owner.
Be careful for those of you who receive the scam coins, don't make sales in the market carelessly because by agreeing to the transaction you have linked your wallet with the scam coin so hackers can easily hijack your wallet.
why can a wallet accept scam coins? it's possible that the wallet owner often participates in airdrop events which when we participate in the event include our wallet address. well this is where the person gets the wallet address of the victim.
maybe the airdrop they created is just a scam that aims to collect the wallet addresses of the victims.
These scam coins cannot be removed, but you can hide them from your wallet.
the important thing is that you don't swap or sell the scam coins so your wallet will remain safe.

You gave too little detail to be sure how you were actually cheated (if you were cheated at all, and it wasn't just your mistake).
In any case, it's not your wallet that is the problem, it's just that someone probably prompted you to trade (possibly sell) the token you got for free.
If you want to avoid this type of situation, just keep your wallet in order and if something looks too good and, above all, is for free, you can almost be sure that it is a scam.
The best protection is your own vigilance.

the only thing that you can do about it is just to ignore it honestly, there is no point wasting your time over scam coin like this, getting rid of these scam coin will just opens up the chance of your wallet getting compromised.
instead if you ignore it, big fat chance you’re gonna be fine and your wallet will not gonna be compromised by these scammers.
if you are annoyed, there are some wallets that could give features like only allowing specific altcoin appearing in your wallet and ignore the others I guess like MEW

Don't care about the random token that sent to your wallet.
