"Lastly, wallets should not even display these spam transactions anywhere. If the value of the [transaction] is small, just filter it out," Zhao added.
I've been saying this for years and I'm endlessly disappointed that wallets can't do this. It should be simple for developers.
That is how it works, you send a test transaction, they'll send you a similar transaction with a similar looking address then hope you send it. This scam works better when someone does test transaction
There should be a blockchain that only lets addresses send to your address that you input beforehand. Idk if that makes sense but it would solve the problem.

You should not be reusing addresses
I tried this for many years
Its an accounting nightmare, I hate it
And its mostly because too few other people use crypto this way, so annoying
Rotki was the only offline accounting tool, I gave up, just take my data corpos, tie all my addresses together for tax purposes. Fucking hell
The fact that I can’t label spam wallets on Etherscan is a travesty.
Moreso when the same account is funding multiple wallets that are engaged in address poisoning.

Kraken does this . You can’t send to any address not email verified by you after inputting it
