So as the title says, I received $20 worth of BTC randomly in my wallet (and I’ve never given my wallet to anyone). I looked up the transaction ID and whoever sent it to me, sends dozens of transactions daily.

The day that they sent it to me, it was part of a batch of 33 transactions with some ranging from ~$0.55, to two for almost $7000 and one transaction for $299,000.

What is this and what’s going on??? And it’s like that every single day. Many transactions to random wallets, some for little amounts and some for bigger ones.

Am I better off closing my account? Free money is great and all but can this bite me in the butt in any way?

EDIT: Also what’s odd is that this happened one hour after I tried to make a deposit (but my bank wasn’t letting me deposit so I never actually deposited anything). This is on Kraken.
