Scam Crypto Coindrop

#crypto #scam #xrp #xrp #ripple #ledger #coindrop

I’m interested in community feedback on the following.

I have noticed recently that some of my wallets are receiving very small coin drops of crypto (FREE - Yeah!!); however, the wallet I am using (Ledger - soon to be decommissioned) is also charging a fee greater than the coin drop amount.

So the net result is my balance decreases marginally each time - we are talking less than $0.01 - but it annoying.

My questions are:

1. Can it be stopped - as the address is on the blockchain - zeroing the wallet and starting another seems possible but I suspect it is like trying to avoid SPAM e-mail by changing e-mail addresses.

2. Is there another method where a wallet can reject certain incoming transactions.

The crypto concerned is XRP (Ripple).

BTW I am giving up on Ledger after many years due to its closed source code and more modern alternatives where I do not need a magnifying glass to read the small screen (Yes. I know there is Ledger Flex - more like a phone).

Update on above!

Figured it out - Tx Fee being reported was not affecting my balance only reflecting the cost of sending paid by the sender.

NOT A SCAM …
