There are several tokens sent to my BSC wallet and they are fantastic value if they can be sold. But after looking for information about the tokens sent to my wallet, I'd better leave it alone because I'm worried about a dusting attack that will steal my tokens
Its token dust wallet, i always get these tokens after transaction to anothers wallet.
To avoid it only 1, just leave the token in the wallet.

There's nothing you can do with that but aside from ignoring it. You can create another wallet and leave it as is and don't post it anywhere so that you'll maintain your privacy.
You can work on your new wallet and if there's another dust attack that happens, there's nothing really you can do with it but to deal with it through ignoring.

Somehow, the crypto space becomes more real life. Just like when you receive free money in your bank account. If you're using it, you could get yourself entangled in a money-laundering scheme or using money mistakenly sent which can be sue by the sender or bank. So those dust attack was the same. Really, nothing is so free in both worlds.

if you previously bought tokens elsewhere when you login to the truswallet with the same key code BSC then your old tokens will enter because they are connected together
just to be clear, by 'enter', i think he meant shows on your token list. a wallet doesn't 'store' your tokens, your tokens are on the blockchain. if your token doesn't show up on your wallet then you can easily add a custom one. don't get tricked if there's an offer claiming that you can access some secret token using X wallet or something, especially if they need you to input your seed.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with Trust Wallet and i never used it. I Invested on some BSC tokens and in order to track them i installed Trust Wallet using same private key as Binance Smart Chain extension. I've received some scam tokens and i did some research about it, it was Dust Attack... In other words some said if i transfer or swap those token my original investement token will be stolen. Well how is that possible without private key. So i transferred my investement in another new wallet and those Dust Tokens come along with it just in 1 transfer. Can you help me to have more clear information about it i would appreciate it alot. I wont recommend you to direct me to use another wallet because already those tokens are in BSC extension.

Thank you

It is possible for projects to steal your assets from your wallet if you allow them to spend unlimited amounts of coins. I mean when you confirm your transaction, the project offers you to confirm that it can spend an unlimited amount of tokens, so be careful about this. Personally I, when confirming transactions, I change the allowed sum on the amount I want to spend there.

Thanks for sharing Op.

Remember to ignore all unknown tokens you may receive into your wallet. The scammer target is to convince you connect your wallet to a phishing website where he can send all your funds to his own address.

This becomes a famous method to scam BSC users. I have found this topic in the "Scam Accusation" section from where i've extracted this explaining reply:
It's easy to create a bep20 token on the binance smart chain and scammers are exploiting this by creating worthless/scammy token and sending them to random addresss (airdrops).
From what I've read, since the victims can't trade those token, the first thing they will do is to visit the projects' websites where they will be asked to connect their wallets When they do that, a malicious smart contract will be executed and will steal all your funds.
The best thing to do to avoid getting scammed is to ignore airdropped tokens on the binance chain.

*STOP NOWHERE*
There are different types of Dusting Attacks,
Look at this, someone sent me some dust amount to my BNB wallet, I don't know how they managed my BNB wallet address.



concern, They just sent me some dust amount in my wallet and gave me a text at the memo.
They wanted me to click on their link, by giving me a tempting offer. Those who fall into this trap will be the victims of scams. It was actually a phishing link and clicking on it would hamper privacy.

Yes, dust attack.

There has some smart contract reacting to send you a scam token everytime you are doing transaction, the best solution just ignores the token you are don't know or ended to your address. So, even you move the token you will get the scam token because smart contract reacting to your "TX".

I always leave it any token I don't know. If you not approved the token trade on AMM exchange, then should be fine.

Thank you for this reply. I would like to hear from you if they can steal my funds (to transfer my funds from my wallet to another) without private key only by using Dust Attack.
