Hello community. I am not a developer but a crypto fan. I have a token in my Metamask wallet and it shows there a value of around $12 but it reads $0 on Etherscan. This means if I send it to someone who has a Metamask wallet the transaction on Etherscan shows I sent $0 but the receiver checks his wallet and sees the value in $. What is the problem and what can be done so I can use these tokens to get some cash? I have some thousands of them. Help please

Which token do you have
Oct 16, 2021, 1:42 PM
It is called PEP. I got it from a project which now seems to be dormant

Only verified tokens with a huge trading volume are shown in ether scan
Oct 16, 2021, 1:44 PM
It is verified but no volume
Oct 16, 2021, 1:45 PM
That's why
It doesn't show on ether scan

So where does Metamask fetch the value from?
Oct 16, 2021, 1:46 PM
Uniswap and some other swaps
Oct 16, 2021, 1:46 PM
Ok. So it worth anything?
What can I do with it?
Oct 16, 2021, 1:47 PM
Swap for eth in uniswap
But it takes a lot of gas fees
So it isn't worth anything

I tried but it said it has no enough liquidity
Oct 16, 2021, 1:48 PM
Did you try swapping with metamask
Oct 16, 2021, 1:49 PM
Yes
Oct 16, 2021, 1:49 PM
Does it work
Oct 16, 2021, 1:49 PM
No
I wanted to swap 500 but still doesn't work

The token is scam or dead
It's a scam token

That's sad. I kept them for two years. At first it was reading $0 on Metamask. Then end of last year it started to show $2. Now it shows around $12. I don't understand
Oct 16, 2021, 1:53 PM
TWO YEARS?
Oct 16, 2021, 1:53 PM
Yes. I got it in 2019
Oct 16, 2021, 1:54 PM
Ohh
