May nabiktima nanaman ng isang malware na pinapalitan ang bitcoin address kagaya nung nasa OP. Ingat sa mga mahilig mag-copy paste dyan ng mga address lalo na yung mga windows ang os.

Hello.

I felt something weird like 3 hours ago when my friend sent me his bitcoin wallet to send him around $1k for his services, so what I did I came online quick copied his Bitcoin address quickly pasted it in the blockchain send form, writed 1000, then I hitted send from then I went offline I came back He was like nothing was recevied I checked his bitcoin address and nothing was there, I checked my online wallet and I found out that it was sent to a different Bitcoin address with the same first words!
"14wEFYsvqiTDXA6ru9rV6xiS1gkxHTioVy" the address I wanted to send to, I'm sure I copied & pasted it I am 100% sure now I see that the bitcoins are sent to different wallet which "14wEycrQ2eb1DAbh51z4oQ3AYCA12Qeitm" Now the bitcoins are lost, because the guy claims it's not his address.

Can anyone figure this out?

I just saw another victim of clipboard hijacker malware.

How it works
1. You select a Bitcoin address, and press CTRL-C.
2. The malware changes the address to an address owned by the hacker/scammer.
3. You press CTRL-V and lose any funds you send.
Even if you check part of the pasted Bitcoin address, chances are the first few characters are the same, and you still won't notice the address was changed.

How to prevent this
1. Don't use Windows, but we both know you're not going to change that.
2. Check the entire address after copy/pasting, and not just the first few (or last few) characters. Check some in the middle too. That's a lot of work, so chances are you won't do that either.
3. I came up with something else: don't copy the entire Bitcoin address, copy only a part, and manually type the last few characters. Even if the malware exchanges the incomplete Bitcoin address by their own, your wallet won't accept the (invalid) address if you've typed a few more characters by yourself.
You'll still need to follow Step 2 after this: check the address!
4. Use copy/paste to verify part of your address. Suppose you want to send funds to address 1PjpEgknyKxQKXtMcYFDym8odkfohFGkui. After copy/pasting, select "yKxQKXtMc" from the pasted address, then press CTRL-C. Then, use CTRL-F followed by CTRL-V to see if the partial address matches the original source of the address. And make sure the source is authentic: email can be spoofed too!
5. I'll add o_e_l_e_o's suggestion here:

Any time I am sending coins from any wallet I physically place the address I know is correct directly from the source, right next to the address I have entered to send to. That usually means either holding my hardware wallet or phone up next to my computer screen, or resizing two windows on my phone or computer to put the two address physically right next to each other. Once you have two addresses which are less than inch apart, its very easy to check the entire address and not just a few characters at the start or end.

Stay vigilant
Check, double check and tripple check before sending funds!
