I've been a bounty hunter since 2016, because I get paid a lot of tokens, so many projects fail so they are never available on exchanges, of course this is a trash token and there's nothing we can do with the trash token, we just hope that one day the project wakes up so the token can be valuable.
began to be seen a lot when entering 2018, many projects failed but still made payments. the tokens given are not listed on the exchange market, so the tokens are meaningless and have no value at all aka trash tokens.

but if it happens under 2017 there are still tokens that are distributed even though they have not been registered on the stock market. In the end, even though it took a long time, maybe even a year, there was still registration on the stock market, so there was also a surprise because many of them ended up increasing in value.

They are not fake tokens, they are dead tokens. Especially a few years ago, many icos were made, many bounty prizes were distributed. But in the process, most teams defrauded people or disbanded. They didn't do any new work. If you have not invested and only received bounty reward, you do not have any loss.
But fake tokens are quite dangerous, you can lose your money because of these tokens
it's true that what was done was not a fake token, of course it was not registered so it was not valuable. many did this in the period 2018 and above, in fact in the previous year not much happened. all this because it is a rampant fraud to seek temporary profit.

The bounty hunter obviously didn't lose money but there was no reward, so time was wasted after working on that worthless bounty. it is clear that if fake tokens are sold and there are investors who buy it, it is certain that they will suffer losses, again this all depends on whether the project owner is wise or not. if they are wise they will return investors' funds but few are wise to do that.

All the tokens listed by he are in my wallet. All tokens are fake. I don't understand who is sending these and why. I am also worried about taking it, is there any possibility of my wallet being hacked through it?

Despite my efforts to minimize my participation in airdrops, similar items continue to arrive in my personal wallet. I've heard a lot of cautions about stuff like this, and while it's not a major problem to me, it's something that newbies to the area should be aware of because it's quite frequent. If you try to sell it, you will almost certainly lose money.

There are many fake token comes in your wallet through joining fake airdrops and bounties which can scam your wallet forever and then it can't be recover so kindly make an other wallet and if you have fees then send fake tokens to other wallet or if not then delete asset from you wallet of fake token because fake tokens are harmful.
It is not a good solution to send fake tokens to other account. It will be harmful for your wallet. I think it is better to avoid these kinds of fake tokens. If we create new account, we will get fake tokens again. We need a smart solution to solve this problem.

Many people are currently losing some tokens from their wallets or unknowingly getting stuck in another wallet. Have we ever wondered why this is happening from someone's wallet? The main reason is hack. Hackers are banging the tokens through their surveillance. Any small amount or big. If you ever notice some tokens in your wallet that are being added without your knowledge.I'm going to swap or sell your token without thinking about where the token came from. Never do that. Because hackers put their tokens in your wallet and when you go to swap or sell the token without seeing the token, hackers like the token. Remove from your wallet. Some tokens that you will never swap or sell-

*ALPACAFIN.CO... (ALPACA)
*BestAir.io (AIR)
*BNBW.IO (BNBW)
* BSCTOKEN.IO (BSCTOK...)
*GoFlux.io (FLUX)
* Minereum BSC (MNEB)
*ShibaDrop.io (SHIB)
*TheEver.io (EVER)
*AirStack.net (AIR)
*TheVera.io (VERA)
*ABFIN.org (ABFIN)

My wallet is filled with all these worthless coins. I have no idea who sends all these coins. Coins that have no value are what they gain by coin wallet sending.
It's those developers that are trying to scam you. They have no value and if something shows that it has value, you'll try to panic as if you're going to exchange that quickly and take the profit.
But little did you know that they're baiting you to fund that wallet of yours and send it to where it's only listed for you to trade.
That one is a very popular way of scam, but some people still fall from these scams.

If you still remember this news https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53425822.. that's one of the most successful scams.

Quote
Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are among many prominent US figures targeted by hackers on Twitter in an apparent Bitcoin scam.

The official accounts of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kanye West also requested donations in the cryptocurrency.

"Everyone is asking me to give back," a tweet from Mr Gates' account said. "You send $1,000, I send you back $2,000."

The US Senate Commerce committee has demanded Twitter brief it about the incident next week.

Only prove that there are still a lot of people who are greedy but has no knowledge of the different style of scams.
Too good to be true offers usually are scams.
I remember that scam but it's a different approach from those scammers that are putting dust tokens to the wallet addresses of those newbies.
But both scams are really popular and still, there are those newbies that still fall for it. People should learn that there's no easy money even it is in cryptocurrencies.

i will suggest you continue to update this post with fake tokens been distributed to people. some of these tokens are fake and scam. people might loose their funds when they trade to exchange these tokens. i found it difficult to believe but it is possible especially on tron and bsc. when you interact with some of these smart contract. your account becomes vulnerable. your may loose all your token at last. it is possible. a recent rugpull happened on solana and people loose more when they tried to remove their LP by interacting with smart contract.

I also want to know exactly what made him lose some tokens, because from the post we can understand, that for every lost token there are several basic reasons that occur, first because it was stolen by hackers or wrong in buying and selling, maybe more precisely there mistakes made, so the token just disappears.


yeah. i am not a prolific developer or coding skills but there are loads of loop holes on tron and BSC smart chains where a programmer design a token, sent it to multiple wallet and whenever you tried to exchange that token any exchange, you will loose funds from your wallet. it seems like interacting with the smart contract creates a back door for the hacker to assess your wallet. once you interact with the smart contract, it is possible that your funds will be collected from your wallet.

Same situation here, I got many too. Just forget it, ignore cos nothing positive for you from that. Relax and dont spend your time regarding that fake coins.
just ignore and never try to trade it in decentralized exchanges because many holders become victim.


so whether the fake token sent to our wallet address will harm the wallet we use? if it doesn't harm we can not ignore it, but if it's dangerous it seems there is concern from every token recipient
as long as we didnt anything to this token our wallet will safe. nothing dangerous if we ignore this token.

Nah, he's just minding off about those fake tokens in his wallet and this isn't talking about lost tokens on his own personal wallet.To answer this up there had been some reports or rumors that these fake

tokens are the way for scamming out gas fees or something like that.I cant be sure on whats the true motive or system of this that's why it would better if you do just simply ignore these tokens

because what matter most here is that you do able to protect your seedphrase and wont be compromised externally.

If there's a stranger in our wallet, there are ways to verify it. We are not in an era where confirming legit ones to fakes ones doesn't have a method.
There are hackers sending out fake tokens which replicate legit ones and i have heard about many people falling for those scams as once you try to connect them to a DEX then you might be vulnerable to an attack. I am not sure about the facts because i usually neglect these strange tokens in my wallet.

Even we don't know the method, we have a large community to ask. Just create a thread at the right section then many will help here. Don't be afraid or be shy to ask about a problem. Fake tokens that are now in our wallets are not really harmful if we are vigilant.
All you need to look is the contract address and if they are not the contract address of the coin your are holding, it is a fake one and you do not need someone to help you in checking that.

Greed does not guarantee a controllable level of security, greater curiosity is not an advantage for us, if it continues to be developed with less knowledge, it is necessary to be wary of tokens that are not clear, what else have you tried to withdraw or move the token, please be careful -days against interactions with contact addresses that are not clear.

something that starts without knowledge, is not a good and promising thing, greed is the closest to destruction, need to watch out for tokens that are not clear, especially with a lot of spam done by these tokens, nowadays many hackers are taking advantage of people who less alert and not knowledgeable in a particular wallet.
