Nice catch, the change in the single letter is not that difficult to miss, but a user who isn't security conscious could fall for such scams. Ideally, one shouldn't respond to unsolicited messages.

Was the email sent to you? If yes, did you use it to set up any account or register for any sale for the original website? If this was a targeted scam attempt, it would indicate a breach in user information, posing more security risk.

Good catch, man.

Now the Pancakeswap DEX is indeed busy talking about because a lot of garbage projects are coming into it by adding liquid which has been determined by the team, and the hunters will buy hundreds of millions of shitcoin tokens at low prices and expect a little increase to take advantage there, I think This is a big risk, I just urge you not to do this if you don't know, if the team withdraws the liquid then the tokens can't be sold at all and this is a trend many newbies have taken this step.

Scammers are now fully engaged in any way to trap new crypto users. Since Pancake Swap is so popular now it was natural that scammers would use the name of this website to create phishing websites. I also receive a variety of emails every day, most of which are intended to scam people.

If you share your information on a website and the owner of that website has sold your information to people with bad intentions. Be careful before sharing your information on any website.

I recently received an email from HaveIBeenPwned and then a couple of hours later, I received that spam email.

I'm not sure if it's connected but it can be. Most of the exposed emails probably have received it as well. The email that was sent was dynamic so they just probably sent it to the leaked email data.
