Is there any way to remove these tokens from the wallet?

Nah you cant, Since it's didn't allow any transaction to other address then it's just going stay there, It's really annoying to be honest too loking some of that sitting on my wallet, I hope Bscscan will add features like Etherscan where it's not will show this token especially on the list. Also for some of you maybe still didn't know, It was originally called dust attacks and never interact with the Web3 website that listed on this fake tokens otherwise you will lose your assets.

Well right and the best thing to do is ignore this in your wallet and I think there is nothing to lose if you are not sending it into another wallet.
I have many fake tokens in my wallet and I received this on airdrop last year, most of them are not available in the market. We should learn this kind of lesson that the fact faucet now is wasting our time, we should learn how to find on our own and avoid not to fall on this kind of fake activity. As long as you are sending in the right exchange wallet and use open source wallet, you are safe.

I also received it on my wallet but to be realistic why are doing that, what is there gain by scamming someone invest that's insane, though they will get to some greedy people who get free token on the wallet they don't work for.
My advice is that let just becareful and be vigilant.

Always be careful, free money doesn’t mean a legit one you still need to confirm your safety before you transact. Well, scammers or hackers are the most evil one and don’t know how to work on their own, they do this dirty job just to get an easy money unfortunately many fall on this trap and lose their money. If I see some unfamiliar token in my wallet, I delete it right away.

Such tokens and sent dust tokens don't matter on my wallet for me personally, better to ignore it. If you wanna get rid of the dust tokens, just send them all to the ETH 0x0000 token burning address of Etherscan. (IIRC)
Btw, be careful with the phishing token contracts and never ever enter your personal details especially your private key in case of the website link sent to you by random people. Nowadays, fake token owners use social media on daily basis to hunt inexperienced crypto users with fake projects and tokens.

Huge issue for sure.

I've seen exactly this happen on the forum many times before. People asking for collateralised loans only to send fake tokens as collateral.

Always check the smart contract address when you're dealing with ERC20 tokens as there is a good chance if you're receiving tokens from newbies, it is fraudulent.

I have a few of them in my wallet I search them but all of them are fake or some of them are real but they forcing you to invest on their cloud mining site with your token but with BNB fees(So it's still likely a scam).
Not worth swapping them, it cost you more than the value of that tokens.

Just ignore them it won't affect your wallet it's just like an advertisement spreading to any wallet they find on the BSC.

There are basically two reasons why you can receive those tokens, the first one is that developers of those coins are trying to scam people by making them think that they got free tokens and once they want to exchange them they need to pay more money than what the tokens are worth.

But another reason is that if you have a high amount of capital in a single address then they may try to send those tokens to try monitor your address, which is a really bad sign because that means that they have you in their radar and they may try to hack you eventually, so you need to be very careful if that happens to you.

This year scammers have taken a new trend of creating such tokens and sending them to wallets, experienced users will ignore such tokens, but beginners may well try to exchange them and will be left with an empty wallet.You always need to look for information on forums and in telegram groups where they can tell you that you don't need to do this.

Yes, so true!

And agreed, lately this targeted attack has become more frequent. Usually though you can spot it because when you look at your token in Etherscan/BSCscan you see a direct link to some dodgey website. In any case, for sure don't spend these randomly aidrropped tokens - it will cost you lots in the long run.

Recently I also got them on my bsc network using trust wallet there's a lot of tokens seen, it's more like spam tokens that existed on the network.
Technically they're considered as fake or unrealistic asset without any selling value or real time demand.
We should be careful on dealing with these tokens, because hackers could use our personal information or any other access if ever we're going to do transactions on our wallet.
Just neglect those possible tokens seen on your wallet, it won't hamper your safety unless you're having an attempt of selling them.

You can remove those by transferring to another wallet but do you mind to pay for the higher fee lately if it's on Ethereum network? I don't think that there's an urgency for you to do that with your wallet but you can just ignore it and keep using that wallet.
But if you find it bad to look at those tokens sitting in your wallet, abandon that wallet and transfer the legitimate balance you have on that wallet so it's going to be an abandoned wallet with those fake tokens.

Though both still the same, both need higher gas fee if those tokens are erc20 or eth related tokens. The most recommended is to ignore those tokens since mostly those doesnt have much value just a spam transactions for their scheme.

You ain't seen nothing yet, some tokens will show good value just to lure the greedy ones, the best thing is don't even think about spending what you don't work for, ignore the tokens and don't bother claiming or trying to sell them there's always a higher trap in place

Been having the same kind of issue on my Tron wallet because everytime I get a transaction this TRC-10 tokens are being airdropped on my end but so far I kept on ignoring them, it's a waste of time. Tronlink wallet seems to have this option to delete the ticker but doesn't necessarily mean that it gets out on your wallet forever, it stays there unless you sent it out on other address may burn address or not.

in my wallet there are some of them like ever, vera and mineralium. at first before I knew this was a hoax I was happy because I saw the price which was indeed impressive but after further research and seeing some information from several sources and forums I became panicked and felt disturbed by this token.
I was worried about my wallet and ended up moving some of my tokens and coins from there.
traps like this are indeed very dangerous because if this happens to beginners and indeed greedy people of course this becomes a very dangerous thing, most likely it is indeed losing their money.
but perhaps the most probable anticipation at this time is to leave this token and not try to tamper with it, but we can also secure our assets first such as being transferred to a different wallet because even though the token was not tampered with but it does not rule out that our assets have been safe from the traps of these evil thieves

Theres a method in Ethereum where you can burn junk coins inside your wallet like 888,888 KICK tokens. But it will cost you a little. I am pretty sure that theres an equivalent method under BSC people who tried to withdraw the money will end up losing more BNB.

You can't view this shit tokens without adding the contract address of the coins to your wallet. You can just see it when viewing directly on blockchain tracker website. Don't waste time and transaction fee by removing it because your wallet is still safe and this coins won't appear to your wallet automatically so just ignore them.

I don't read the attached thread but the garbage tokens are all faked/dummy coins. I received tons of it on my wallet that has BNB and ETH for a long time that I'm using on different airdrop before.

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)

Is there any way to remove these tokens from the wallet?

Hackers and scammers will always look for ways to get users, and the approach they use most times is the greed nature of humans, that is, they know that once some people see such tokens in their wallets, the first step would be to know where it is trading and possible ways to swap it without knowing that, it was planned and once they take the step to swap such tokens, their wallets will be hacked. To make matters worst, most times some of these mobile wallets will display an unrealistic price of the token which is always very high, thus increasing the urge for the person to sell.
Lastly, on the creation of most wallets now, once a transaction is done on such wallet, maybe receiving a token from another wallet, some of these scam tokens will be sent almost immediately.
So, it means we have to be very careful of the tokens we swap, and most importantly do not swap tokens you have no idea of. Don't bother sending them out or interacting with them most especially since it's a scam token just hide the tokens from your displaying in your wallet, or you can create a new wallet and move out all your tokens.
