Ethereum (ETH) API: reported balances include scam tokens

Lukas Fleischhacker

The reported balance of my LINK token in my ethereum wallet is about 10.000.000x higher than it should be.

Reported balances take into the account this scam token as mainnet LINK and issues a warning.

Fake ETH coins added to Real ETH in MetaMask Wallet total

LeoM

Fake ETH coins (address poisoning scam) dumped into a MetaMask wallet are added by Koinly to real ETH coins when computing total ETH in the wallet. The workaround is to mark the fake coins manually as Spam, but Koinly should detect that these coins falsely called ETH have the wrong smart contract, and so filter them out of the summation automatically.

Thanks for reporting this, Lukas!

I have investigated the case and created a developers ticket.
