Its simple,someone sending their EOS to the wrong address from where they supposed to send.Maybe someone will cry later for not realizing their mistake.

No doubt about that. That sure has a mistakes sending some xrp to the OP's address. They haven't realize it yet , maybe they aren't checking it now and the sender was too confident that he/she was sending it to the right eos address.

If I'm not wrong, when you create an EOS wallet, you set up a username, and if someone wants to send you some coins or tokens, that person needs your username. It could be that somebody is sending coins to someone whose username is very close to yours and that person is making a mistake. It's the only thing I can figure since the amount is too high for an airdrop.

I do not rule out possible mistakes. But I think by now, the sender should be aware his payments are going to a wrong address. It is not just a single transaction, but series of transactions. The OP can provide more visual details to back his claim and members can properly figure out what went wrong.

I think it is possible that someone really sending you with out your knowledge. you might fill up some form before.
As like me i dont know who is sending me BTC on my wallet too, i am getting 1200 satoshi per day sometimes i received twice.

Hello guys I have a question
Recently I logged into my wallet I havent used in months and I found out that I have $1500 in EOS sent in the last few months in couple of transactions?
How is it possible? I even received few $ again today
I will be great if someone can explain this to me

Thanks in advance

You sure it wasn't sent to you by mistake? Or maybe it was sent by someone or some crypto companies that owe you in the past? Did you receive it in whole or it was sent to you bit by bit? I think the best place to ask this question is on EOS reddit page or telegram group

Funny headline though. Thought it was a click bait.

Your wallet is so lucky and of course no one can tell what is that happening to you. I suggest to enjoy that money or reinvest it with the top coins, if someone is making mistake sending their money of course you can't tell who is that unlucky guy. You have nothing to worry about as long as its free money, enjoy it.

I do not believe if there is no evidence like what you have said. Nothing is free, most likely the wrong person sent

Yeah, I don't believe it unless you send actual proof.
Most likely, you're just expecting people to PM you so you can scam them in one way or another.

That aside, Steem accounts work in a similar way and I have actually received some Steem by accident in the early days.
The founder of Steem's account is @dan and my Steem account is @daan, someone sent me around $200 in Steem very early on because of this mistake Tongue

Give me your private key, I need to look at this case Cheesy

. Without private key we can´t do anything, I am sorry.

(I believe that there are still enough people that will send private key to another person without any sense)

There are no rewards that can pay $1500 unless it's something like a EOS Dividend website which pays dividends. But still the amount won't be worth as high as $1500. It may be like Waves that gives away free tokens worth $5-$50 sometimes.

Quote from: avikz on September 17, 2019, 10:18:14 AM

Unless someone is incorrectly using your address, there's no way you will receive such huge amount. Can you please share the screenshot of your account?

Because, that's the only way you can receive free money like this! Someone is incorrectly using your wallet address and not checking back their own wallet. It is not a glitch for sure!

I don't think any person can even do such a mistake repeatedly. Once-twice is fine but not every month.

Is it really possible? creating wallet and putting your own username instead of having automatic one will create even someone already had that name?
And if that is possible, how about the memo? that is the eos address and it can't be the same?
I also have the wallet from waves and getting BTC which i dont know to whom it came from.

This is totally strange if true. If someone has been mistakenly sending you EOS and keeps sending, the person ought to always check for confirmation of deposit final destination. At this point I can't figure out anything save you show us the proof.

I know I receive a lot of ERC20 tokens on my Ethereum address,,, and the same goes for my Waves wallet I get a lot of Waves tokens but this is mainly because my address is lying around in a few old threads and there is activity on the public blockchain. So I guess project developers get the address and drop tokens to active wallets.

But actual ETH? Never.

could we see your address for proof atleast or is it just a made up stories?
the most possible answer to your question is someone mistakenly sent some eos to your address.
or maybe you join some airdrops a long time ago and forgot it.

Why do you need a freaking explanation?
Freaking withdraw that, start a new wallet in Ethereum or bitcoin then put itt all there.

Just be thankful you have some freebies
Being honest now will not get you anything. Someone may have copied a wrong address and it is now yours. One good thing about crypto like ETH and BTC. There is no getting it back.
The sender might have also forgot about that too since he didnt know how to contact you.

I can't really say much in that regard if truly you are seeing what you don't work or own in yr wallet with no expectation of credit from any one, the might as well be some trick or a mistake from someone to have made little error in sending to wrong acct and he might not really check if the transaction really went through or not.

I think it was sent from someone sending EOS with the wrong address. this is common if happen in myetherwallet. sometimes we don't realize that there are some coins that have a price but the sender is unknown.

Well, that's a lot of money, and it's very difficult to find the owner. this kind of thing is difficult to happen to eos wallet. I don't have any idea to return it to its original owner, so maybe you can save it, and decide on the best thing you need to do.

Hi, i guess you received the coin because there was someone who sending the coin to your address.
EOS is using 12 char address to receive and peoples can do mistake because they type the address manually.

there is a possibility like this but as long as I use eos for a year I have never gotten the things that op have experienced, I think op is very lucky if this is true

Where's the evidence? I want to see it, we're all waiting for the wallet address. If that's true, I'd buy EOS too, but I think that loophole would have been known long ago.

I really don't believe that, you can't send evidence here, how do we know about it, and it is very unlikely that anyone would just send it.

Your Data Belongs To You

The most logical explanation would be that you are getting those funds, accidentally someone is messing up the address or username as others pointed out. But this does not explain multiple periodical transactions, if someone made a mistake, he/she should already have noticed it and stopped..

in this case I think someone is wrong to send tokens to your wallet, how is it possible if you feel the amount of assets in your wallet is increasing while you rarely access the wallet and even use it for transactions ?. so I guess it's the sender's mistake and you're lucky to get more coins.

Do you own an EOS token which distributes dividends? If not then you must be lucky to have alias your account.

The person who send those coins will probably want those coins returned though. He wants it back if he finds out he had sent those coins in the wrong hands, your EOS wallet will be posted here whenever that realization happen. Don't spend it yet.

Give the name of your EOS account. We will see, and say, from whom and for what you received coins. If you yourself haven’t seen it yet, of course (or if you need help with this).

Maybe someone is using the same wallet as yours... How is it possible? I don't really know. Poor him if you withdraw his funds... Wallet in EOS is not safe if 2 or more people can access the same wallet.

There are several things that could have happened to your wallet. The reason why you can receive free coins, is bounty campaign that paid in EOS or staking rewards that you are getting for holding EOS. But a more realistic scenario is that somebody has access to your wallet through private key or seed phrase. I would recommend to withdrawal everything you have and create another wallet.

Could you show us your eos wallet address so that we can verify if this isn't a made up story. Okay, maybe it's real and you received it without any notice where it came from.

But maybe someone sent it to you intentionally and has your wallet address somewhere. Do you remember an incident where you are required to send your eos wallet address? it's highly impossible that someone just sent it to you randomly.
