Topic: How to get rid of useless tokens - page 4. (Read 2190 times)
Be wary if a token appears in the BSC or MATIC wallet that we have never known, usually the token directs to connect to our wallet if this is done there will be a problem, namely all assets in the wallet will be stolen because they already have a copy of the private key.
Is there any way to stop unwanted tokens deposits in my wallet? I have used two different types of crypto wallets and I keep getting tokens I know nothing about, I read that those tokens are scammers trap and moreover I never worked for it.
Once scammers have obtained the information about your public address, nothing can prevent them from sending you whatever they want. Just do not touch unknown tokens, never try to sell them, swap them or send them. You will likely be scammed executing a malicious smart contract if you try to interact with these malicious coins. If you are worried about scammers spamming your address, you can create a new one that scammers will have a hard time finding out about. Share your new address with those only who you fully trust that they won't scam you. Although that won't completely protect you from spam, it at least temporarily minimizes its amount. Another solution would be to stop using a hotbed of scammers such as Ethereum for good and focus on less "smart" cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which don't allow for sophisticated ways of scamming users through complexities of turing-complete languages.
Ignore, you are only in danger if you try to sell tokens that aren't yours, that's what the senders want you to do anyway, its part of the plan.
They call it token dusting. The best option is that you should replace your wallet by moving all existing assets to a new wallet to prevent asset loss in the future. Tokens that are already in your wallet at this time cannot be discarded, but I think you can revoke applications that have been connected to your wallet in unrekt as an initial precaution.
This doesn't have anything to do with wallet connections, I think once you make a transaction on the blockchain your address becomes visible to these scammers, they go to blockchain scan and copy the latest addresses and sent the malicious tokens to the owners.

Unfortunately it can't. If the token is dusting it's better not to do anything. if you try to transact anything with token dusting it will cost you assets in your wallet. Usually what I do if my wallet is sent a useless token or a scam token, I immediately replace a new wallet and move the assets to make it more secure. token dusting usually comes in because we often follow airdrops, so we have to be careful.
I agree with you, just avoid the scam tokens in your wallet and move on with your trade because many traders that tried to swap such tokens in the past loss all their money in their wallet, because they were trying to transact the scam tokens. If you are not comfortable with the scam tokens in your wallet, I think, you can create another wallet to move all your money inside the new wallet and leave the scam tokens in that you Old wallet. I think, it will be difficult for people to fall victim to scammers tokens again in the community, because many people has learned lesson from other people that fell victim to such scam tokens in the past.

I don't think it's because of the airdrop. every token transaction that we do on this exchange (DEX) will trigger the wallet to receive token dusting.you don't have to bother to move your assets. just create 2 wallets, 1 wallet for token trading on the exchange, and another for storing BNB or primary assets.
Many cases like this occur in BSC and Polygon networks. still, be careful with assets that are suddenly in the wallet.

As long as you're using a smart contract inclined wallet, it would be impossible to escape from being spammed with unknown tokens. The best approach is to hide the unknown tokens from being visible on your wallet dashboard and strive to ensure that you don't share your wallet address carelessly. This may reduce the incident of spammed tokens but can't eliminate it.
No it's not possible because you cannot stop someone to not send you tokens. Now scammer bots are very fast and after doing any transaction they will send you token which will show price also. Bets way to stop these token is to remove from watch. Safepal wallet will not show scam Tokens.
If there is a feature to remove the scam tokens from the list, it should be done with this way. However, it is true that stopping someone to send tokens to our wallets is something impossible. I never see any feature on the wallets to get rid of certain tokens, even in MEW or Metamask. The feature may be only applied in Safepal wallets.Anyway, I am sure that in the future, there should a feature to ignore some tokens or remove useless tokens in our wallets. But the developers of crypto wallets needs time to improve it, it is only not avalibale right now.
It is best to not do anything about them as there are fraud/scammy smart contracts that can empty your wallet. I also hate seeing them. I currently have very weird tokens which has same name with some top 50 coins, but on erc20 or binance smart Chain. Totally fake. I feel like we should have some options to drop these coins from our Wallets somehow to void. But I think there is no technology to do that now.

I can't seem to find how to blacklist unwanted tokens in my wallet, anyone using a trust wallet here please help me out.
I've been receiving lots of useless random coins but I keep on ignoring them because I believe that it's just one of the scammers' strategies to attract new victims. We can't get rid of them because we can't control them from sending yet we can ignore them so we'll also be safe from scammers.
Yep, I also get this and best is to just ignore it and don't do anything with it. It is the same in fact with a lot of tokens that you receive from some bounty campaigns; 99% of them are useless and will never get listed on a legit exchange, so you can't do anything with it
I understand the situation perfectly, the only thing that can be done for now is to have those tokens there until the BTC takes its bullish trend and wait to see if those tokens or campaign payments can go up in price, it's like a lottery where luck is the one that plays the most here, but there is no need to get out of them even when they do not have any associated value, it is best to wait to see how everything continues to develop, because if you get rid of the tokens and then want to recover them it is very difficult because they can take value at a given moment.
the best thing to do is to either ignore or blacklist those tokens. since one wallet address has been gotten, they will keep sending those tokens. scammers can hack one wallet when one trades with them, or click on links attached to these tokens. research and make findings of these tokens, one should not be carried away by the expectation of what they offer, and end up losing one's coin in his/her wallet.
I'm not sure that it can hack the wallet if we do trading and transfer activities from shittoken, I haven't found any facts from that incident but we have to ignore all activities from shittoken because it won't be profitable.the best thing to do is to either ignore or blacklist those tokens. since one wallet address has been gotten, they will keep sending those tokens. scammers can hack one wallet when one trades with them, or click on links attached to these tokens. research and make findings of these tokens, one should not be carried away by the expectation of what they offer, and end up losing one's coin in his/her wallet.

There are too much useless tokens. That is why cryptocurrency investments continue to be very risky.

Also many people lose their interest to investments during the fall of the market.
It is possible that many traders will lose interest after their investment in new coins or low reputation coins, so very altcoins are unable to survive when the market is down and only the top altcoins have proven to be able to overcome all the obstacles of a market downturn.
