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

According to the given link, address poisoning is not to monitor our address activity but rather to make us commit a mistake by copying an almost identical address and sending the fund to that token.  Others are just a lure to make us commit a mistake by accessing the site of the spam token and connecting our wallet holding our tokens to give them access to our wallet address and hack us of our holdings.
