You checked the beginning and end of the address carefully, so why did you still send funds to a scammer?
Here’s how I understand it: once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it can’t be reversed, and assets sent to a fake address are basically impossible to recover.
Address poisoning is when an attacker creates a similar address whose first and last few characters match an address you use often, then slips it into your transaction history.
Addresses that frequently transfer stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
