It shows the BTC leaving electrum going to an address that I cant find where I copied and pasted it from. Its almost like i was on a look alike market...... What u think?

Yikes. Can you try copying a random bitcoin address and try pasting it anywhere? If a different address gets pasted(not the one you copied) then it looks like your device is infected with a malware that's specifically for stealing bitcoin/crypto.

Ok. I just thought of something else that happened.
Anyone ever use Burlusconi MarkeT? Normally as I am loggin onto the market it shows me a picture of John Denver to confirm that is a picture of him. Well earlier today for the first time that picture wasnt of him it was of some other dude I forget who actually. I questioned it but still logged in and tried to transfer my coins from electrum to my marketplace wallet. I hit the update button and nothing is happening. I log out come back litttle late to check, log back in and john denver is back on the login page. It shows the BTC leaving electrum going to an address that I cant find where I copied and pasted it from. Its almost like i was on a look alike market...... What u think?

Never heard of it, but this image may be one of these "security images" which are unique to every account and confirm you're on the legit website (I may be wrong tho).

Can you remember if you copy pasted the address from this market?

Depending on what software wallet you're using on your Linux device, it's very likely that the wallet you're using changes the address after every transaction for privacy reasons. Don't worry though, you can still use the old addresses even though a different address is being displayed on your wallet. Just make sure to double or triple check addresses next time to prevent future potential problems. Imagine if you actually sent it on an address you don't own?

Phone -> Linux -> Linux? If that's the case, the coins are there like nothing had happened. You just sent them to yourself.

I guess this is exactly what he means, not sure where the problem is, I guess after sending from his Linux wallet, he has already gotten a new address, and he might be checking the new address for funds and it shows 0.

OP, the BTC is still in your wallet, it just does not show on the old address, but if you try to send it, it should work.

I sent the btc to from my phone to my wallet on linux. then when on a market place to order something. was trying to send btc to vender and ended using the same wallet address that i used to send form phone to computer not the vendors address. Is there a way to fix this and get access to my money?

So, to which address exactly did you sent the coins to?

You had the coins in your phone and sent them to your linux wallet. Then sent them to the same linux wallet again?

Next, be careful to check something when you want to make transaction.
Every success transaction in Bitcoin can't be refunded.
Bitcoin is difference with real money when you can do narmally transaction.
