There is an attack going on where transactions are created that show transactions going out of your account that have 0 tokens moved.
The attacker sends 0 tokens from your address without your private keys. The address is very similar that you send tokens to.
It sounds like this is either error in translation or you have completely misunderstood how addresses and private keys work. If someone could send 0 token transactions from your wallet without your private key, this would be a serious issue that would have been talked about for years now.

Then a user copies address and accidentally sends tokens to scammer.

Here you can see 20 such 0 token transactions.

This doesn't even make any sense. Why would i copy some random address and from where? How would the attacker make similar addresses?
