Could it be that your computer is infected with a clipboard hijacker malware? If you are not playing any tricks on us, that's the only reason I could think of. It's not a problem with etherscan. It's working fine on my computer and in all clean devices out there. I suggest you read this good post by LoyceV https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190776.0

You either have a clipboard hijacker or you're trying to get attention. The cursor in your video randomly skips right after clicking the search box at 0:31, jumping right to the Buy button. It looks like you paused the video, copied the other address and then resumed it.

If the video is indeed legit, this isn't a normal action that happens on a PC so get yourself a thorough virus and malware check. But there's no point in calling it an Etherscan scam - it has nothing to do with their website, why jump straight to the accusation?

Clean your PC as soon as possible... In fact if you have dpare time just reinstalled a fresh Operating system. It's quite clear that you be having malware in your system known as clipboard hijacker. 
Etherscan has never been scam,  it's just a blockchain Explorer.

Hmmm.... I suspect that your browser maybe is the issue or some extension you installed.
Try with clean Tor browser for example and check if you have the same problem.
Scam system with malwarebytes.

This is a confirmed clipboard hijacker malware, have you recently installed any new programs, applications or add-ons for your browser? I'd recommend you to do a clean system install, instead of checking it with antivirus and malware removers
