You checked the beginning and end of the address—so why did you still send funds to a scammer?
First, what is address poisoning? Attackers generate lookalike addresses whose first and last few characters match an address you use often, then slip them into your transaction history.
How it works: Once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it can’t be reversed. Assets sent to a lookalike address are usually unrecoverable.
Frequent stablecoin transfers and addresses like $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
Knowledge can help you avoid pitfalls, but it can’t replace position management.
