This is called address poisoning according to Faisal2202. It is method used by scammers to probably monitor the address and it is hard to stop this kind of attack because you can not stop people from sending you coins or tokens. If you are uncomfortable then a change of address is needed.

Here is also a thread by Pmalek you can read through get some measures on attacks like this
I'm already a Hero Member (going Legendary), but now I can say that "ranks don't matter when it comes to knowledge" because I don't know that term "address poisoning". If only I didn't read this post, I won't know what would be the main reason behind these scam tokens being distributed. Thanks for sharing this, and the links.

So in short, they're just sending tokens just to monitor the address? If that's the case then it isn't harmful then as long as you will not give money, and personal information to them, and not download anything suspicious online? Like what @EL MOHA said, there's nothing that you can do with that OP because you can't control the scammers to send you tokens.

Change of address is the best solution with this one if you find it annoying, but I guess just ignore it would be an another option as well.
