A lot of people are saying it's probably malware but on a more obvious level, did you send any eth or copy this eth address to your clipboard for some other reason?

Maybe you can chat in Bittrex's trollbox about this? It seems that the user who own the address is also trading there. I saw on Etherscan that his OUTGOING transactions were sent to Bittrex, see this as reference: https://etherscan.io/address/0x813e73b19889d30bb221742cafa6ec7c92175d59#tokentxns

I don't know if Bittrex Admins can help you locate the owner, but try to contact them as well. I hope the owner of the address will send it back to you if ever you talk. Good luck and be careful next time so that you won't be a victim again.
I just contact bittrex admin forasking can i get some information about the address owner but no any respon, if i get ex email, i want talk to him for win-win solution to get my coin back, because im very-very need that coin for costs my college.
i'm not sure if trex will provide this information to you mate, but hopefully you will able to trace the owner of that address so you can try talk and give your offer, its next to impossible but keep trying and hope for the best mate. good luck

This is a know virus that has reached some bitcoin users, i remember some one report about a similiar situation as yours, thats why you should always confirm the adress you copied to the adress before you complete your transaction, atleast at blockchain they let you choose the value and the adress, the fee and they let you confirm all details before you put your transaction password, people need to understand at once bitcoin or any other altcoin has already the interest of the hackers and security is something you need to take care, always check double or even more times everything.

YES, i heard the same problem with me 2 years ago, that situation like me, he'es want widthrawal the bitcoin but went he paste the address he's not check again just send it and the address was changed before he's notified, i just hope the owner that address want to send back the coin to me with a win-win solution

It's probably a lost cause, but if the address changed by itself I suggest to scan your computer for malware.

If you really mess up with the address then there is nothing you can literally do to revert back your mistake and the address you have accidentally sent might not be a address which has users,always be careful when you are entering your valuation as there is no turning back with digital currency.

I'm sorry about your money my friend. Hope you find a way to get it back, but I doubt it. Let this be a lesson for everyone else, when moving huge amounts like this, I think it's always safe to do it with several transactions. if I where to move 3 BTC I'd much rather have 5 or 10 transactions and pay those fees, than risking the whole thing at once. and if you must do it all at once, don't do it from a windows machine. Try a linux live CD and boot your pc with it, and then make the transaction. completely virus free and safe. and of course, always triple check your addresses

This issue is now re-occuring and there is nothing anyone can do about it as I have also heard of similar experience by a friend who lost 1btc just by copying and pasting because there is even no way to cram those numbers then start typing one after the other. What I do is to randomly cross check the numbers to be sure that what I copied is what was pasted to avoid stories like this. I hope it went to an innocent wallet who can then transfer it back to you because that is a lot of money to lose now.

It is a terrible loss, but nothing can be done as there is no way to figure out who that wallet belong to. If only the recipient reads this thread and is kind enough can help you. As other members suggested, this can be because of any malware, I remember such malware was reported here in this forum some months back like it will paste different addy when are trying copy-paste.

Hello.

anyone can help me for get my coin back, i just loss my 3 BTC/$8,7xx in ANT Token, i want witdhraw my coin, copy address in my dashboard exchanger, but when i paste, i dont look the address and that address changed in other address, address changed to this address 0x813e73b19889d30bb221742cafa6ec7c92175d59, you can see transaction history in etherscan.io or ethplorer that address just receied 3,2xx ANT Token if in bitcointalk any member own that address please send back to my address 0x5A1bb4F1e96e740C2B2C2125e4A6eA326A7e4075, please Help me.  Sad Sad Sad Sad

Sorry dude but its more likely that you have lost it. You may have been affected by the copy and paste virus. You need to do a full scan of your pc to removed it. However, the person you may have accidentally sent your coins more likely return it to you. You didn't double check the address though? That's why I almost double or triple check whenever I will send btc to someone or even to my own exchangers address. I hope that this is a lesson learned for you so that you will not make the same mistake again. Again, I'm sorry for you lost mate.  Cry

It is really sad to hear that someone lost their money like that, i have same fear on every transaction. I double check everything i do just in case i make a mistake. But i always trade small amounts (less than 10 dollars) because i do not have more. But from what i reed i think you have other problem, maybe you should bring your PC to some professional person to check it for some viruses or something like that. Hope that it end well for you, best of luck!

When you say the bitcoin address you copied and pasted changed, what do you mean exactly? Did you verify it is your address before hitting send?

As some others have mentioned, it is possible you have a virus on your computer that changes your copy and paste function. Have you downlpaded something recently, and where from? Do you think you have been hacked?


Always make sure your send or receive address is correct befote hitting send, even if you have it saved and it autofills in. Sounds like you just lost your coins. Sorry to hear.

So, when I copy the address I copy it from another exchanger and I paste the address and try witdhraw and I do not see it anymore, because I think i just copied the address and pasting in witdhrawal form, and now i confirm my widthrawal and using Google authenticator for verify my witdhrawal, but the problem in the address I just copie has changed, and im not notified about it.

This is the reason why we should always double check the address we are pasting. I am not blaming you but if you happen to check the address again, you could have noticed the changes.  Probably your pc were infected by malware as what the early reply stated.  I am sorry for your loss, I do not know if you can still get that amount back but I hope you do.

yes this is a big my fault and is a big lesson for me, for transaction altcoin in future i must double check and checking again before send it.

consider it gone already. i doubt the person who owns the address will show up and suddenly send it back to you.  it would take half of that ANT you own or maybe just forget it OP. this thread already will be visible to him (the eth address owner), just don't get your hopes up that he'd send it back.

That's a lot and I'm in deep sad with that amount of tokens it's totally a big loss for any person.

And as jhenfelipe said I guess there is still a hope for you, once you have tried to contact bittrex admin maybe they can do something about it.

But in every person's part here, we can't something about it, that's one of the feature of crypto currency, transactions aren't reversible.
There are some malwares which change your BTC address on the clipboard memory to another address that belongs to hackers.
Possible this is the reason why you did got some wrong address, @op have you downloaded something before?
no i never download any software in internet, my pc just use for work and browsing, just it, i never installing strange program.

Sorry that happened to you, but you have no chance to get their money back. No one will help you. If it is a virus that a hacker will not listen to your request, and if a simple man, he doesn't even know who gave him such a generous gift.
