Is there any way to stop unwanted tokens deposits in my wallet? I have used two different types of crypto wallets and I keep getting tokens I know nothing about, I read that those tokens are scammers trap and moreover I never worked for it.
Do not post it publicly.
So the best thing to do is to abandon that wallet with scam tokens or unwanted tokens and then make a new one. Transfer your important assets from that wallet to the newly made wallet of yours.
And never post the address publicly so that marketers won't get a copy of your address for which they'll send those tokens in a batch along with other info that they've gathered.
Not posting publicly or changing to a new wallet also doesn't solve it. There are blockchains scanners so you can't prevent them even if you try to hide it from the public. Scammers can take snapshots of addresses with balances and send them tokens.

Probably the best thing is to get a wallet that has a feature to hide tokens you don't want.
MEW has that feature and I think other wallets too. Posting it publicly will help to minimize and reduce the possibility that those spam tokens will be sent to you.
That new address that you didn't post publicly won't be added to their lists and records where they'll just send a blast of those tokens that they've seen publicly.
