There is an attack going on where transactions are created that show transactions going out of your account that have 0 tokens moved.
The attacker sends 0 tokens from your address without your private keys. The address is very similar that you send tokens to. Then a user copies address and accidentally sends tokens to scammer.
Here you can see 20 such 0 token transactions.

Well first of all thank you for the warning and the heads up. I am not really sure though how this transaction attack would work. As others in this thread have already said, there should be no way that a scammer can send tokens from your wallet if he does not have access to your wallet which means to your private key and if he would have access to it then he definitely would not send 0 token transactions first. He would instead just send all of the funds from your wallet to a wallet that he is controlling. So i don't think that this scam works as you said, but i also don't now how it could work any other way. This kind of scam would be new to me.

Im not sure how its possible. But in order to create a transaction from the wallets, someone must have your private keys. Maybe those send transactions are wallets from same guy who knew those different wallets. If you see your wallet there means he got an acess on your wallet. Not sure how he make the transaction confirmed. Maybe this is a smart contract interaction on a dapp or what.

Actually sometimes is possible because whenever you tried to swap token from dex immediately you swapped then some tokens are instantly sent to you via same address, I think it was same thing that occurred here. But if it happens that your wallet is compromised then I would advise to you to instantly move every valuable asset in your wallet before any further damages that might likely occur in future because basically the wallet is not safe anymore.
Create new wallet and move all valuable asset out from that same wallet.

Recently, I got 2 transactions consisting of 0 USDC in my trust wallet but didn't understand what this all happening, and the most ridiculous think is that the 2 addresses were completely different from each other, I had checked them at BSc scan, but the wallet was fully new created and that was their first transactions.

Of course, anyone can send transactions to us without having the need our private keys. But with that having 0 tokens sent, it's making me believe that this is just another dust attack.
From what I think, maybe there's a fake token from the attacker that sends it to anyone that he's got their addresses and that's to know if the address owner is responsive or active because they'll eventually move that away from that wallet. Also, don't click those tokens because they'll direct you to their website and with an interest of exchanging them, that's probably where the scam starts.

It sounds like this is either error in translation or you have completely misunderstood how addresses and private keys work. If someone could send 0 token transactions from your wallet without your private key, this would be a serious issue that would have been talked about for years now.

This doesn't even make any sense. Why would i copy some random address and from where? And similar addresses? What are you even talking about?

This is confusing. Are these really coming from compromised wallets? What if these addresses are generated by the same person or "attacker" and he just wants to spam the network? It looks like a lot of work but I find that more plausible than sending 0 tokens without a private key or seed phrase.

This is impossible.

People can't send coins from your address without your private key, but what they can do is generate those transactions with a smart contract once users have interacted with it.

And is important to say this transaction had a cost, it wasn't totally free, the one who spent cero dollars with multiple inputs and outputs had to pay a transaction fee for it. So, if this is an attack, I don't think it will be brute-forced because each transaction has a cost.

Everything is very interesting, but I did not understand how a fraudster can create transactions without private keys.
It is very difficult to generate a similar address so that the first and last 3-5 digits are the same. Write more information about fraud.
