Sending usdc to usdc contract?

[GMonky]

So strange thing happened.

I was sending some usdc from MetaMask wallet which ledger is connected on.

The first time i didnt confirmed on ledger so transaction failed. Then a day later i went again to the wallet, went in the failed transaction hash, clicked the address i was sending the day prior and copy it to send again. this time i confirmed on ledger.

The transaction went thru but when i take a look on etherscan there was send to totally different address which i never used before.

Now i dont know hot that happened. Maybe when i clicked the failed transaction and the window opened where it said from XXXX to XXXX the to address was maybe USDC contract address and MetaMask or something created new wallet and send it there.

Or is there any other explanation? WTF just happened? And funds are now just siting there on this new address.

Here is transaction history from that hash rate:

Maybe they’ll give it back to you but restore process is a horror see this page:

Centre Consortium Announces Release of USD Coin Version 2.1

But is it a possibillity that i send to usdc contract but then a new address created and send it there? how can this even be an option? i want to understand WTF happened, from where this new address which was never created?

[Luigi]

I don’t know, man I would have to have more information… try the USDC Funds Recovery Process which you can find on the page above. It’s the only way to save it.

If you would like, you can also contact the support team at https://support.metamask.io/ and click the blue Start a conversation button for further questions.

[GMonky]

Did that. It says that metmask cannot create new address. I will contact circle if they can help.

Hello everyone, do you know where i can look/check when the wallet was created?

[Chinzilla]

As far as i know, you can’t check that.
