Monero being sent to wrong address

Jcub619sd opened this issue · 1 comments

I went to go send everything in one of my wallets to a particular wallet that I always send to. As a matter of fact, I have this wallet saved in my address book. So I used to address book feature to click on the address I want to send to, then I clicked the "All" button to send all available monero to this other wallet. Everything looked fine, I accepted the fee and confirmed transaction. The only problem is now the address that it is sending to is a completely different address that I have never seen before. It's already at 12 confirmations please help me! And let me know if there is any information you need from me

I ended up checking the original address on https://monerotech.info/Home/Address
And the unrecognized address just turned out to just be the Base Monero address with payment ID stripped. I still don't understand how this all works but the most important thing is that the payment went through successfully.
