1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Did i loose my money ? on: June 03, 2019, 03:37:15 PM
I still don't know what happened. I downloaded Electrum from it's official site and i'm sure i pasted the correct address. The most likely situation i can think is a downloaded an infected Electrum app from its official site. I'm not a newbie in computers, actually i'm a software developer with more then 20 years of experience.

That's a very bad experience. I lost all trust on this and will never more buy BTCs, better leave my money on the usual investments :p

Hey  look may be its copy paste problem.. but you should  first  your computer. DO you install any antivirus?  Because  sometimes some antivirus softwares are also scam and  they may damage  your files.. so be careful..

I don't have any AV software on my machine.

Is the Electrum app trustable ? I downloaded from https://electrum.org/#home

You should try now and copy the bitcoin address and after paste the bitcoin address here to see if it is changed and infected with malware or you already reinstall OS? And on what exchange you send the bitcoin?

I already tried it, when i paste the correct address, it remains correct on Electrum interface.

I sent the BTC to a brazilian company called Mercado Bitcoin, it's one of the main players of this business in Brazil.

They claim they did not receive the BTC and indeed the address Electrum shows in the log is another...

I'm really not sure here, but from your description, it looks like the type of malware that replaces your pasted addresses with the hacker's wallet address. What wallet were you using in the first place by the way? We're going to need a bit more information.

I always used Electrum, the BTC was there since i bought it, last year.

Hello,

I'm a newbie on BTC world. About 1 year ago i bought a small quantity (~ 0.033) just to learn more about it.

Somedays ago i decided to sell it and get the money back. I used Electrum to send the BTC to the address below :

33gpwt9uSxf6vh5Cw1osfmJ8HN18Y6ciyy

I'm pretty sure i typed the correct address (actually i pasted it), as i'm not a computer noob. But the BTC never reached this address and somehow Electrum shows another address on its log :

3CqJDvCfA7AAtzbPDyWE1jby1uxTzzeGHH

I'm on a Mac, and my machine probably is not infected with any viruses, i suppose.

Here is the transaction ID :

20d0c70d9e88b1e774b91bc1766dd41e4858e6ff42222186347e7ba5b00bb9ef

Am i scammed ? How can i track what happened ?

Thanks
