I have a friend that owed me about $1,000 USD. I asked him to pay me in btc and provided him with a bitcoin address. After the funds never arrived at my wallet, I contacted him. He claims to have made the payment the day before shortly after I provided my btc address, and he gave me proof by providing the following txid: dd1911398dddf7ffa3a698ad66ceafd17b3002f5fa0d8dfe2734f7fa84eef347. The amount of 0.00925060 btc was supposed to arrive at my wallet, but it did not!
When I took a close look at this transaction, I realized that the funds he sent did not go to my wallet, instead they arrived at this other wallet that appears to have been established sometime in 2020 and has a balance of 4.65 btc. This wallet has received about 228 transactions, mostly active in 2022, but also active other years as well. The wallet has also received transactions as part of a batch sent to other wallets as well maybe coinjoin?
I sent my wallet address to my friend using a messaging app which he says he copied and pasted. on to his wallet. The wallet he uses is blockchain wallet...... Any information would be greatly appreciated.
