Be careful when copy-pasting a Bitcoin address. Current clipboard malware tries to replace them with similar-looking addresses, that start and end with the same characters.
This post is really inspiring for me as an eye opener and that's why I am commenting thus. I don't intend to resurrect a dead thread, even though that looks like what it may be now. Howbeit, it will also help alert newbies of the antics of scammers with wallet address. Normally, I do check three parts before sending out —the first 4-5 letters, the middle of the address and the last 4-5 letters. I like taking my time while doing this and it doesn't matter how much I am sending out because I believe in financial dealings, there isn't any need for hastiness. It should be handled with the precision of a lawyer handling a murder case.
