Randomly got a “Scamcoin” in Ravencore?

I have been mining RVN with NBMiner on 2miners pool for a few weeks now. All I have is a GTX 1650 Low Profile card that I use to mine when I am not gaming. Have the miner mining directly to my Raven Core wallet. I have never changed the wallet address. I have consistently gotten 10 RVN every 2-3 days since I started, but yesterday I saw something really strange. I received 1 SCAMCOIN.

Date: 5/2/2021

Type: Assets Received

Label: It has my wallet address as a label. All my other transactions say "minicomp" because that is what I named the worker lol. It is smol.

Amount: 1

Asset: SCAMCOIN

I Googled around and found out that Scamcoin is apparently a legit coin that was just recently made as a joke. If Doge is anything to go by, it might be a good idea to invest in Scamcoin early lol, but I am pretty confused as to why I got one for free in my Ravencoin wallet. In the overview screen, under asset balances, I can see the SCAMCOIN and the number 1. If I click on it, it takes me to an image on Chrome which is a "Scam Coin $$$" that was poorly drawn in MS Paint.

So… is it a joke or an actual scam? Is it trying to get me to download a scamcoin wallet to transfer the asset to or something?

Thanks
