I have seen such transactions of small amounts on both TRON and ETH blockchains.
This transaction (shown below in the tron scan blockchain explorer) is suspected to be an attack from an account with the same ending characters as that of the user’s account. Please be cautious of such scams.

What are these?
When you send assets from A to B, attackers may generate a similar address, C, which closely resembles B (in prefix and/or suffix), and then send you a small amount of assets.
For example, the following shows that Steem2TRX sent a swap to address B.
TRON: tronscan explorer shows a legit transaction
And the transaction activity was monitored by attackers, who then decided to send a small transaction from a wallet C (the attackers generate a random wallet address) that looks similar to B.
The attacker sent some small amount of transactions
Why? How do the attackers attack?
If you don’t verify the source, you may mistakenly think C is the same as B and transfer the funds to C instead of B. It is likely that you will send some funds later (e.g. refund/return) to the address B.
TLDR;
Ignore those transactions and always verify the destination wallet addresses when sending funds. Do not download any malicious software. Some malware monitors your clipboard and changes copied wallet addresses to the attackers’ wallets, causing you to send assets to the wrong address without realizing it!
