It's a complete scam, good thing you didn't connect your wallet to these sites, they would empty your whole wallet. It generates these tokens specifically on the bsc network because transactions are cheap. If there are coins in my wallet that I have not purchased or applied for any airdrop, I do not touch them. It is necessary to be careful, scammers always find different methods.
I'm not quite sure about the wallet connect thingy. I didn't proceed to check it myself to be honest, I'd rather not test it, however, I've read that the main catch happens when you try to swap the fake tokens. The pools often have extremely low liquidity, thus, you're unable to conduct the trade, but your gas fees are deducted normally (which in many instances are high).

the scammer sending look like similar name coins which one is top ranking coins and most interesting thing is when will show coins value that's why most of the people get confused and go to swap It’s called a dust attacked. Greedy people are more likely to be caught here because they don’t crosscheck before swap.
I did not know that you could get your wallet hacked this way, how do they even do it? I mean I get that if you connect your wallet to some bad place then they would be connected to it, but how do they even give a command to empty your wallet just because you are connected? Thank god that did not happen to me so far because god knows how many places I have connected my wallet to, some of them could easily been a very bad place and I am glad that it wasn't.

Hopefully we will move towards something that is a lot more easier in the future, it is not really difficult to build wallets that would be safe against these type of attacks, people will keep on being victims of this unless wallets find a way to end it.

Those are spam tokens that were commonly found on BSC and Polygon wallets. I think the reason is that BSC and Polygon have the cheapest TX fees that's why those people who created spam tokens are just done it easily without spending high on transaction fees. Unlike Eth the TX fees are quite high, that's why that problem did not exist on Ethereum Network anymore. But just be careful not to connect your wallet because who knows that they have a shady function that can suck all your balance in an instance.

I'm usually using Yieldwatch to keep track of my yield results, however, its uptime was average the past few days and resorted to Growing.fi. I noticed that my Net Worth was strange looking, showing more than $500,000 worth of coins, which startled me. Upon further investigation, my wallet appears full of some sketchy looking tokens.

Their website prompts you to connect your wallet, but I'd rather not to, how did these appear? Why are in my wallet, and why is Growing.fi showing them and Yieldwatch isn't?

Bad sign. Don't try to swap or do anything with these type of coins. All these tokens are scamed toke
Scammer usually send these type if coins to active address. They might take your address from bounty spreadsheat. When you try to swap they will charge high fee and token swap will be fail.
I recommend you to change the wallet and don't use this one.

This could be a scam to steal your wallet's assets. When you make transactions in the blockchain, your wallet address may have been collected by hackers and sent junk tokens in bulk. If you connect your wallet to those sites or swap them on decentralized exchanges, you may lose all your assets. Be very careful in the crypto market, there are many scams

This are all scam tokens which are randomly distributed to as many addresses as possibly, the day you try to interact with the contract of this tokens is the day your wallet will be hacked, so I did advice you never ever try to sell any of those sketchy tokens.

And as for why grow.fi is showing them, my assumption is, this tokens all have liquidity on pancakeswap, so as to lure unsuspecting victims into trying to sell the tokens, so maybe grow.fi is reading their prices on pancakeswap which is why it's displayed in your portfolio.

I've lost 200$ trying to sell a token that i saw in my ETH address months ago since then I've learned about this scammers trick, don't ever try to claim token that you never worked for, if you see token in your wallet that isn't yours just leave it or stop using the address

Day by day some unwanted Coins are being added to the wallet which are showing a lot of value but they have no value in any market. They are just scam Coins.  If you go to exchange those coins, gas fee will be deducted in any way, there will be no exchange and there is a possibility of wallet being hacked.

Dude beware. You are a victim of a dust attack. Scammers collect public wallet addresses and send tokens to them. But you can't exchange such tokens in exchanges like Pancakeswap because of low or no liquidity. So you have no choice than to head to their website where your wallet is hacked if you connect to their portal
Yeah, first thing I did was to check if they existed on PancakeSwap and BSCscan, of course, neither searches yielded no results. Only possible way to "trade" them, was through their website, which was sketchy looking to say the least, requiring you to connect your wallet.

Be careful, many unknown tokens is coming to almost wallet in the world. Usually the balance suddenly come and it shows the value (almost a few till a thousand dollar).
But that's all is fake. Usually the users call this as DUST TOKEN.
Make sure you don't invest on it, on its platform. And don't send or swap the token everywhere because once you do it, may be your wallet is in danger.

I don't think it's strange, is it all bounty results or do you often follow airdrops?
I just checked my total bep20 wealth on Growing.fi, I have a fairly large amount which I then add custom to my trustwallet and it's ready to be sold when the price is high according to my target.

If your number or wealth data doesn't appear in Yieldwatch, I don't think you need to worry.

As for the problem. Their website asks you to link your wallet.. well you shouldn't do it as the experts have mentioned here for the safety of your assets.

Did you read his response about this? He said that he didn't participate in any bounties or airdrops. That's why he is asking how the hell they got his address/es.

Myself have seen a lot of this in past, even I received such unknown token in my wallet.

My best advise is just totally ignore it mate, and don't be curious about it.
Yeah, long back itself this is there. I've seen this in myetherwallet. When I check for the rewards from bounties I used to see some additional tokens which weren't part of the bounty as well as which isn't available in the market. But, here the value is very big and it'll surely tempt users to give a try and analyse what it is all about. Within my wallet the number of tokens seems to be high, but the values were not more than $5


Does their website ask you to also link your wallet like the op discussion, he said he would rather not do it, how about you?

I just saw my tokenpocket wallet there are tokens that are not clear, GFNC and PAL. I can't be sure where I got this from, GFNC and PAL TRC20 network. do you know about this token?

This is a new way for scammers to cheat is to send large amounts of tokens to wallets BSC, Polygon, Ropsten and so on, they hope the recipient connects to the wallet soon so that all tokens of value they will steal, better leave a comment in the comments tab on the address contract link so that other users know.

If we have announced a BSC or Polygon address and there has been a transaction then there is a chance to get free tokens, unfortunately the free tokens are a scammer's way to steal our assets so it is better to ignore it, there is nothing we can do with these tokens and for security then never open the site listed in the sender's wallet.
So far, there have been many fake tokens that automatically enter BSC and Polygon wallets, but the strange thing is that only happens to wallets that have already made transactions, not to new wallets or wallets that have never made transactions.
Yes, I also noticed that unknown tokens go exactly to those wallets that already have transactions. Moreover, the number of tokens is always a multiple of 10, or even 100. I actually thought that it was some teams of new projects that send their tokens as advertising. I also checked them by accounts and such tokens were not listed anywhere. I was not interested in them anymore. Now I will be more careful with them, especially since I will not open their sites.
Cryptocurrency scammers often play on the possible greed of the participants in this market.

I also have incomprehensible tokens in my wallet. It is better not to touch them, but first, find out what it is and where it is from. The tokens came somehow and I decided to withdraw them. They took a big commission from me. And only then did I find the information that it was fake.

I think, almost all BSC wallets that have made transactions have these coins. these coins look very valuable and make us inclined to sell these coins in their intended market. however, this is the type of scam that exists today. should be, we do not need to care about it is in our wallet. honestly I want to make it not in my wallet by sending it to another wallet. however, I chose to do nothing with the coins. there are very many types of such coins or tokens in my wallet at the moment.
Honestly, I never came to it across in the past, before it happened to me. This whole DeFi sector is filled with scams and phising attempts, I was used to such attempts throughout my journey in crypto, however, I feel like they are everywhere nowadays. Discord is filled with bots and scammers, while you need to be extra careful when importing tokens on Decentralized Exchanges (such as Pancake), and especially when dealing with wallets such as TrustWallet or Metamask.

I also received unknown tokens at BSC, Rinkberry and Polygon, it seems the scammer hopes that by sending the token he can hack our wallet, this is an old technique that has happened in ETH, and I once lost my token when I clicked on an unknown site, something that can happen What we do should be to create a new wallet and empty the balance in the wallet.

I believe this is the handiwork of scammers. Just leave them there. Never be tempted to try to swap them, that is where you expose your wallet to the scammers
 As long as don't swap it, you are safe.
