Also please suggest a way to remove these tokens from my metamask and alternative security checks.

Also, I request you to check your metamask and scan for this token in your wallet.

The only way not expose your keys is to not interact with the contract in any way, and the only way to remove the tokens from your metamask is to interact with the contract by sending the tokens out.
So the only way to be safe is to just leave the tokens there, you can turn its display on metamask off so that it won't show among the listed tokens on your metamask interface, but know that when ever you view your address on bscscan, polygonscan or etherscan, the tokens will always be there, but it doesn't stop you from carrying out your day to day transactions on your wallet.

Just don't touch the tokens you doubt.There are a lot of people who received these tokens that came to you just like that, they can't be sold there you need to buy levels.This is a pretty old project and works on all popular blockchains.But there is no sense in it anymore, you can just not waste your time.

Use this method to remove token from metamask. And it should be noted, this method only excludes this token from appearing in the metamask. If you view your address in explorer or import your address to another wallet, minereum will still be visible. Minereum tokens are not actually removed from your wallet until you send them to another address.

This method is only to delete the token if it has been added to the metamask, if it has not been added then this token is not in the list of tokens in the metamask. I think there is no way to delete every token in explorer other than dumping it on the burn address.

Correct, but I'd rather not interact on it and just leave it as it should be on the wallet besides it doesn't do much to harm my other assets. If you care too much about potential hacks I guess you move other assets you have on your wallet to another wallet and forget the wallet that has these dust tokens. Haven't interacted on it like sending it on a burn address since I may not know what's gonna happen and one thing is it will just cost gas especially if it's in ERC20, the cost for dumping it isn't worth it.

If I am not mistaken, the owner of Minereum needs to upgrade their account to level 3 by paying some BNB so they can transfer Minereum to other wallets or sell it later. So if they do not upgrade the account, you can not do anything but the token is still there and does not know when people can sell it. But I do not know if Minereum is available on the Polygon network too because I do not have it and do not follow the project.

What needs an upgrade is minereum on the ETH network, I've never heard of an upgrade for the BSC network. However, there seems to be no clarity on the ETH network either, I have never seen anyone upgrade, maybe because they are afraid because this is token dusting on BSC and Polygon.

If that wallet address is very important to you then leave those tokens sleeping in your wallet, scammers intentionally send them out to unknown victims like you waiting for you to try and sell those tokens, you have no idea how big this scam trap is..

It's dusting.

The contract token has been set up to send your asset to the scammer if you approved the contract, how the dusting work? every time you make a transaction on the chain they will send the token automatically to your wallet. So, even you change the wallet address you will always get a scam token because right now that is the dusting work scam token.

The best advice, just ignore no need to approved or check a random token you are receiving/don't know. You should be fine, I have more than 20-30 spam/scam token and just ignore them until now never get hacked.

It is token dusting, never interact with tokens like that, or your wallet will be hacked. Minereum dusting is not only in Polygon but also in BSC, just ignore tokens like that.

Actually the minereum already exists in several networks now but the very strange thing is that the token can't be sold at all and can't be removed from anyone's wallet, even though it goes into the wallet by itself, so it's true as you say that this is a trap of scammers

If I am not mistaken, the owner of Minereum needs to upgrade their account to level 3 by paying some BNB so they can transfer Minereum to other wallets or sell it later.

I've received a lot of fake tokens in Polygon network so this is not a new case and you're not the only one who have experience like this OP.
Better not to waste anytime trying to withdraw that funds because most probably they will scam your whole wallet. Ignore those tokens at all cost, they cannot harm you anyway if you just let stay in your wallet because you can't really do anything about it. Move this to scam accusation thread to warn other people as well.

Not a new case to be honest as I've received tokens in the past too but I just let it sit there, ignore it at all. You can move this on the scam accusations board as it's more appropriate to be posted there. Most token dusting activities aren't new to Ethereum network and even on other networks like Tron it's more common there but I just ignore it.

It is token dusting, never interact with tokens like that, or your wallet will be hacked. Minereum dusting is not only in Polygon but also in BSC, just ignore tokens like that.

I do not remember interacting with any of such as previously I have suffered a phishing attack, wherein I lost a small amount of MATIC token, I cannot keep changing my wallet address as it is linked to my smart contract which needs to be operated by the address only.

Suggest an alternative method.

I have received some unknown ERC20 tokens in my metamask wallet and I am pretty sure I have not participated in an airdrop or been promised to receive it from any ofother sources.

However I found their BITCOIN TALK profile -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-minereum-minereum-is-launched-on-eth-bsc-and-polygon-4495159

Here's a link to their polygonscan -> https://polygonscan.com/token/0x0b91b07beb67333225a5ba0259d55aee10e3a578?a=0x2b8bA4db26462199a198C604Ec7DAcb06ab2C4b6

IF I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS, PROVE IT
