Essentially on the front end it looks like u sent a fractionalized token – like .0000000001 MATIC (or an NFT) out of ur wallet – when in reality – malicious actors mint and send NFT’s out of targeted addresses (all in 1 function) – such that it appears your address sent a small amount of tokens or an NFT out of it – when in reality the tokens/NFT never even *existed* in the wallet – it was just broadcasted as an event on the blockchain and so ur wallet takes this information and displays it in the UI.

These airdrop scams are common and they are known as address poisoning ($0 value transactions) scams where malicious actors send low value transactions to tons of wallets hoping users will accidentally copy and paste a previous address in their history (thinking it’s one of their own when in reality its the scammers) and send funds to the scammer address mistakenly.

U can avoid this by always using the “receive” ledger live tab and generate ur address before ur own eyes. Make sure the address matches wat is displayed on the device – always trust the ledger devices screen. If the address doesn’t match between the ledger and ur computer – then u know something is wrong.

If u ever get scam airdrop NFT’s in the future u can just hide them in ledger live and they can be ignored. They can’t harm ur other accounts. As long as u ignore them they won’t harm any funds in the account they reside in either.

If u ever get tokens sent to you or show as sent from ur address. Check and make sure they weren’t actually sent from your account (click the block explorer on the tx history and see if it’s legit or not).

Then ur good to go : )
