Sent BNB to an address that would credit 0.000005 bnb when I send

Hi I accidentally sent .0278 bnb to this address

0xA4455f917ABFc4b8523137fA0bE1f94142939247

I didn’t notice the slight difference from the intended destination. Does anyone know what purpose this wallet serves? If you look at the transaction history of my wallet -

0x22E74Ed62dccFdF2080a7e6DA7F011Ed71d051F4

You will see that every time I sent bnb I also receive +0 from that address.

Is there a way for me to recover my funds? I already tried deleting and importing the wallet again however it didn’t change anything.

@Garywinters89 Those type of address are called poison address.
They are made in a way that clones the address you send to so it is always advisable not to copy an address from your transaction history to not fall a victim.
