Hello,I am new in this forum and have not much knowledge in cryptocurrency world .I tried to sent a big amount of USDC from Coinbase to Binance some weeks ago and although I knew that always doing transactions with cryptocurrency we should test first with little amounts this day a made a mistake(the first one )and sent all coins at once.
After I copied and pasted the deposit address from Binance in Coinbase website I did check the deposit address was the correct one but at last step before I hit the sent button I did not see that the address had changed because curiously the first four or five characters of the beginning and ending of address stay exactly the same and it made think that the entire address was the correct one.
Finally I sent the coins and after several hours that I saw it didn't arrive to Binance wallet I checked the transaction again and found the address change,I did contact Coinbase and they opened a support ticket but at the end what they told me was it is my mistake and there is nothing they can do to help me !!!
Here is the TXId 0x97f333d16aaaeb054b2b03e325260b7eaffbbbda7f58f574700b361dfb97bff9

The correct deposit address  0x0482e1d714c8ded2260bb52d59eeb8175ec76fbe


and the wrong address where coins went to 0x0482e9EE1D714c8D2260bb52d5B8175edEC76fBe 

As anyone can easily note  both address the correct one and wrong one are almost the same just with different characters order !!!

Does anyone have any idea what could happen and if there is any way to recover the coins ? I have contacted USDC/Circle and they said can not help like Coinbase  told me !!!
What Coinbase recommended me was try to contact the recipient of wrong address which I have no idea who is .

Probably you have nothing to help. I can advise to be as attentive as possible.
but if you entered the address correctly then this is a fraud on the part of the exchange
does not happen so you copied the address and then pasted it in and it turned out that the address is different

Sorry my friend, you probably lost everything you sent. I did this once with 1 eth. I even contacted the receiver but he/she never returned my ethereum so i moved on. Sorry for your loss.

The correct deposit address  0x0482e1d714c8ded2260bb52d59eeb8175ec76fbe

and the wrong address where coins went to 0x0482e9EE1D714c8D2260bb52d5B8175edEC76fBe 

There are plenty of trojans nowadays that can watch and change your clipboard. Most probably you also have one of those. If you want to read more, this is a link, although Bitcoin-oriented, it could give you a starting point: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/clipboard-hijacker-malware-monitors-23-million-bitcoin-addresses/

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do. You have awarded some hackers because you were not careful to:
1. keep your computer clean
2. check the address you are sending to, and not only the first and last few characters, but also at least some from the middle.

Since transactions are not reversible and the hacker will surely not return your money, this is a costly lesson (15000$, ouch!!) you surely won't forget.
I'd start now with cleaning the computer.
