I don't understand. How do you send funds to a fraudulent address thinking it was your own?

This is more of a shitcoin thing, but basically the scammer notices you send crypto to a certain address often. They find a similar address and send you a dust amount. What they hope it’s you just copy /paste a transaction from your history and it end up being the dust amount that they sent .

Address reuse. Gotcha.
