Describe the problem:
Preparing my tax report, I noticed strange deposits to some wallets of mine. I didn’t see these deposits under “activity” @ the Metamask, but Koinly was able to catch and show them. It looks like spam. Please have a look at the picture. Three of such deposits arrived on April 25th and 27th. You can find more at Binance Smart Chain. Does anyone know what that means and, more importantly, what should I do with it?
Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?
Metamask
How did you import data into this wallet?
The wallet connected to Koinly via public address. I used Metasmask wallet for ETH, as recommended, and added BSC and FTM chains separately via the same public address.
What have you tried to fix this so far?
I didn’t try to fix it. I’m asking questions first.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention! It seems that the API has picked up on some spam deposits to your address. This can be frustrating and the general consensus is to not engage with these coins.
The best thing to do here would be to delete all the deposits of these spam tokens. You will also need to enable a setting called ‘ignore reported balances’ for the token to be removed from your dashboard.
Thanks for replying. I’d like to ask you a question. What do you mean by saying “The best thing to do here would be to delete all the deposits of these spam tokens.”? Should I delete these tokens from Koinly or from Metamask? I don’t even know how to find these coins on Metamask.
