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.
I would say this is part of the beauty of this forum, you learn vital things for free from people who go have vast knowledge or experience on the subject matter. Even I wasn’t much aware of this scam not until I was going through that thread and found out what it is called.
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?
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.
Exactly you would have to be careful with your dealings from that wallet and any one connected with it, scammers can take advantage of just anything and we all know they would certainly only get access to it through phishing attack,
Just as you said if one is not comfortable then he can just change wallet. But even if you change it you can not send directly to this new address from the old one because it will still link. Rather you would have to spend it through exchange and then probably back to the new Wallet. But overall you do not need to panic if one is not doing anything wrong
