🚨 Ghost Tokens in Your Wallet: Gift or Fraud?

If strange tokens suddenly appear in your wallet without you having purchased or requested them, and you think they were sent to you by mistake, do not trust it. Many users, upon seeing inflated figures with supposed million-dollar gains, believe they have received a "prize" or that someone has sent them real money. However, what they actually received is a ghost token or a misleading airdrop.

🔎 What are ghost tokens?

They are fake cryptocurrencies randomly sent to users' wallets. Their only purpose is to attract attention and deceive you into attempting to sell, swap, or visit suspicious pages.

⚠️ How to identify them:

They appear out of nowhere in your wallet.

They show unreal percentages (+1,000,000% or more).

They have no history on CoinMarketCap or Coingecko.

Their name is usually little known or imitates another legitimate project.

🎭 What are scammers looking for?

By clicking on "Swap" or following the links often associated with these tokens, they will ask you to connect your wallet to malicious contracts. At that moment, you give access, and they can empty your real funds.

🛡️ What to do if they appear?

1. Do not interact with them.

2. Do not attempt to sell, swap, or withdraw them.

3. If they bother you, hide them from your wallet, but never touch them.

4. Always keep your wallet updated and ensure you are only using official apps.

✅ Conclusion

Ghost tokens are not a gift. They are a trick to let your guard down and expose your wallet. The best protection is prevention: ignore them, hide them, and never move them.
