it's actually easy to see whether the scheme coin or not in the BSC network wallet, if it has a value even though 01 cents is still worth it
if it's zero I think it's a scheme coin
Moreover, it is obtained for just free without knowing the origin we get
Topic: Another day, Another Lesson for those who want to learn - page 2. (Read 440 times)
I agree with the headline, there is a new lesson in the crypto world every day! It is true that in crypto there is too much of everything, OP has given one example of what can happen in the crypto world, in reality so much happens every day that one cannot follow it all!
That is why w should be careful, especially with "miraculous gains" and "too big promises", as the OP says nothing comes for free, we must work and earn from that work, as soon as something is offered that is too easy and sounds too good the red light should turn on in our heads!
Some of us learned it the hard way, we had to lose a little to learn, but whoever reads this can skip that part and know right away that you need to be very careful cause a mistake means money loss and that is not a joke!

The sophistication of the coup is becoming more evident nowadays. The desire and will to possess what belongs to the next is the motivation of these scammers but no matter the belief that each one possesses the universe does not allow success for a long time. We should be happy that along with this negative possibility, the power of inspection is growing, improving even more the defenses for high technologies and in this case for the blockchain.
Token like that we have often known together, the emergence of a new hype token that made dust developers take advantage of the moment. The problem is if someone doesn't know then they buy the token with a lot of scattered traffic, careful is the most important thing of investment but maybe not everyone is careful.
I never attempt to sell any of them because this is what the scammers actually want you to do, and doing this automatically gives them access to every bit of legit tokens you have in your wallet, so we must be very careful.
I think the best way to do it if someone (let's say me) were interested in selling those suspicious tokens off would be for me to move out all my genuinely bought tokens out to another wallet first. Thereafter, I try to sell the suspicious airdropped tokens. This will be a safety measure that should work. However, on my part I've come to categorize any token I see in my wallet that I didn't buy as a scam and I obviously stay away from them. You know, if it weren't for greed to pilfer, the house rats won't be caught in traps. It's the same way I view those who make attempts to claim or sell off tokens they're sure they didn't buy. It's often a trap. 
Such things are becoming more and more common as it is easy to create coins and request access from users. Many newbies may be caught off guard by such things. Be careful and double check what it is before trading.
This is not new and most of the cryptocurrency users are aware of this scheme, someone will send you a token that has a similar Token symbol and would let you think that you received an airdrop and of course you will check the link to their fake website and might probably ask to connect your Metamask or ask for your seed phrase in short phishing site so be careful in clicking links from those coins you are receiving in your wallet.
It's easy to trace always check the contract address, the contract address is everything, legit projects will always advise you to check their contract address and it's always in the market aggregator if they are listed, and ignore these spam tokens if you do not expect to receive these tokens, scammers are good now in imitation and phishing, they know investors are learning so they have to innovate their scheme and this is a new scheme because the transaction fees on Binance and other chains are cheap.
Merely seeing this in my wallet, I have 90% confirmation it's a dust attack. The purpose is to get you to click link interact and give some approval. Don't be greedy as you know there are so many ape tokens but this looks like the recent one gotten from the airdrop. Check from cmc and compare the contract you will know its a scam token.
Make sure we have to be careful because otherwise the coins in our wallets will disappear,if suddenly there is a coin in our wallet which is not from the airdrop that we are doing, it's better to just ignore it,
Scam tokens will always be there and there will always be ways to cheat
Spam token was not something new in the cryptocurrency. This kind of token used by scammers as a trap to the its victim to fool the victim to give approval to the scammers to steal the funds that owned by its victim. So many newbies are always getting fooled caused by they are thinking if they have got free money and they are connecting their wallet to exchange it but then scammers are draining all of their wallets.
This trick kinda old trick but that's pretty odd to see that some people are always getting trapped by this old trick.
It can be said that when people realize just to ignore the garbage token that came to their wallet and they will be fine with it.

Sometime the copy cat scam ape token has value caused by the developers itself were pumping it. This means if you must also try to verify that whether it has the same smartcontract that used by real ape token on CMC. You must be careful and did double check for that. So many people have become the victim from this scam token. I do know that if they are feeling greedy with it but in fact that if you are seeing the market and then you can know that easily if which was the scam project and then you will able to determine whether that was a scam token or not.
Just try to do your own research and always be careful to double check,

If you receive APE token that has a value and you can sell it then be thankful to it but I am sure that no one will accidentally send you a token that has a value most you will receiving in your wallets are scam tokens that is being sent randomly to any address so be careful on visiting the site of that token and if you receive unexpected coins or coins that you are not familiar with, it is better to stay away from it.

Having the consciousness that nothing is free in crypto is an added advantage. If you have not done some kind of bounty or Airdrop activities and sees some free tokens in your wallet, it should be suspicious. I have seen countless times where I would be told to claim some tokens, since I didn't work for them, I don't bother participating because nothing is free.
You can be in the process of claiming these tokens and compromise your wallet.
For tour experience, I can assure you that is a scam because there is the real APE project I know.

This is just one of the many fake coins and tokens which are freely distributed to many wallets. They seem to be harmless but once you can be enticed to sell them in the exchange that is where the problem is because your other assets in your wallet can be migrating somewhere. I am not so sure how it is being done technically but maybe it got something to do with their own smart contracts...because when you do sell you are actually interacting with smart contracts of the coin or token in question. I have been telling this that wallet should have a way to deal with this...we should have an option to delete these fake tokens and coins in our wallets.
This is probably how I lost 96$ of a token I earned through raindrop months ago, I never bothered to sell because the price was small for the amount of the token, then later I tried to sell a free airdrop token that I dont remember hunting for, I later gave up because I just dont know how to sell, later someone sent out my 96$ worth of token, I guess this is the same.
Reflect to yourself. There is really a free airdrop of apecoin, however those only who hold their particular nft. So ask yourself, if you dont have nft for requirement why youll received a very expensive token? From there you should be suspicious on it already. No one will give a free huge money randomly and that could also lead to some bad consequence if you pursue it.
Free Apecoin token doesn't come from Ape-NFT.io, have you opened this link yourself? It's a scam website and this is exactly why this scammer built this fake token, since Apecoin is giving out free tokens its more easier to deceive people using this strategy. legendary

Unfortunately, many people have fallen victim to this scam, I almost fell for it myself months back when I first received this kind of airdrop, I have over 20 of this kind of tokens in my wallet currently and each time I check their prices, I gives me goosebumps, but then, I never attempt to sell any of them because this is what the scammers actually want you to do, and doing this automatically gives them access to every bit of legit tokens you have in your wallet, so we must be very careful.
This kind of scams token is not common on binance smart chain alone, it's also very common on Tron network as well, and the reason is because of the cheap transaction fees on this blockchains, you will never find this kind of tokens on Ethereum blockchain where transfer fees are off the roof, they did spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on sending out the airdrops alone, so this why we don't get such airdrops on Ethereum blockchain.

Even if its a clone APE token still you're not in any problem unless you get phished while trying to do anything with that, receiving this fake tokens are just to get your address and this is normally happens with bitcoin network which we call as dust transaction but when we receive such kind of transactions we can actually lock the address so all other address won't be exposed to the scammer but this is not same with altcoins.
