I also experienced this even on my exchange account, because before I used my exchange account wallet on the TRX network I think it was USDT on the Tron network and sometimes I can receive TRX on my wallet.
Also, they are advertisements, and yeah in my case, they maybe forgot to exclude exchange wallets. I'm just ignoring it.

Yeah, just another dust attack if not a reward if ever you've staked TRX. I've got an old trx address and it's receiving not TRX though but those tokens that are built in the trx network. And I think they're more dangerous because some of them will really make you curious and will make you visit their website. They're all worthless though but I've never received such exact TRX as what you've experienced OP.

Upon reading this post, I'd check my wallet transaction but never it appears that I have received any from an unknown person. Maybe I was not a part of their list as the target for something we don't know as it is sure it was intentional.

That could be worrying if you usually use this wallet for major transactions as you are wallet has been known to them and likely being monitored by this group. You gonna be careful or may change your wallet address if possible and let's see if they are still sending you some TRX.

Yeah, just be careful though, maybe those who are sending you TRX might have a bad intention after-all.

There has been some attack that some bad entity are sending malicious token to target their assets

So just ignored those, and yes, another reason could be that it is a dusting attack as well.

dust attack. You have to be careful. But such things can also be done for advertising purposes in general. It is now most frequently performed on the bsc network. For example, whenever I perform a transaction on the bsc network, I immediately notice that a random token is sent to my wallet. When I enter their contract, it is either sent for advertising purposes or it is sent for the purpose of advertising that site with a website link. As far as I understand, it may also be sent to you for advertising purposes.

Did you set some of your TRX staking/voting?  It is possible that the TRX you received is a reward from it.  If not, it is possible that it is a dusting attack as said by ryzaadit.

To anyone who doesn't know about dusting attack:

Quote
A dusting attack refers to a relatively new kind of malicious activity where hackers and scammers try and break the privacy of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency users by sending tiny amounts of coins to their wallets. The transactional activity of these wallets is then tracked down by the attackers, who perform a combined analysis of different addresses to deanonymize the person or company behind each wallet.

Yes, most of the time is a dusting attack.

Also, this method is being used for spamming services to promote a site. If you click on the hash transaction, most of these spam transactions always have a description in the Chinese language with a link.

You can't do anything, since the smart-contract of this spamming is reacted everytime you doing a transaction.

About less than a month ago, my TRX wallet address randomly receives amounts smaller than one dollar, mostly (+0.000003 TRX - 0.000028TRX)? Does this happen to you? And what is the reason?
I thought it was a dust attack, but the frequency of receiving random values is an indication of something abnormal Huh
