I hope that you didn't get into some phishing attempt, that would be horrible. Aside from that there were some attempts where people tried to create a token that basically swept all the bad tokens and coins in circulation, even if they worth under a penny, and then gave you their own token for it.

This way all those tokens and coins would be gone from the market, burnt, gone forever and there would be one that stand tall on top of all of the gone ones. However it did not work, the idea was great but eventually that token itself started worth nothing as well, there wasn't a reason to buy it, there was a good reason to sell your useless things, but wasn't a good reason to buy it, which made it go down a lot.
