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
U haven't experienced such this as address spam before I don't know why,  of may because I have a bounty section of the board on my ignore and I have never dropped my address on any airdrop page before so I think those scammers have no way to get my wallet address to spam their tokens their.

Anyways this is most expected by scammers who already have various method to steal users' information and this token spam are one of such method of spam attempt and I believe also the best possible way to handle such an attack is to either ignore those coins or if you have any free money to pay fees you can send them back to the address used in send it to you if you are afraid that the presence of those coins in your wallet may result into possible future security risks for your wallet which I doubt it possibility unless you allow that to happen.
