Presearch Scam Attempt thru Email

[Menerever]

Here's the email content: (sorry I can't attached image at this point)

"Hi,
Your withdrawal request is now ready for completion, Please review the details below." (then a suspicious link)

Email Sender: do-not-reply@bling.com.br

Just a bit of information, Presearch is a community-powered, decentralized search engine that provides better results while protecting your privacy and rewarding you when you search. As a Presearch community member, you can earn Presearch reward tokens when you search and stake, when you operate a node, and when you refer others to join Presearch. https://presearch.io/about

Of course by using our common sense, if we didn't initiate a withdrawal, then we should know what to do.

P.S:
Not promoting the site but rather giving awareness on a possible scam/phishing attempt. Aside from that, how the bastards know that I'm participating in Presearch rewards. Does it mean the email database of Presearch users are breached?

If you never ask for a withdrawal, you shouldn’t be getting an email like this. If it shows up, it’s a scam link—plain and simple. This type of scam is easy to spot. Just remember, for any project out there, there are scammers waiting in the wings to take advantage of people, and they’re not even part of the team.

Have you ever used your email for different projects? It might have been compromised somewhere, and scammers are just randomly sending emails to addresses they’ve swiped from active project participants or investors. I’ve had a similar experience as one of my emails was bombarded with messages from exchanges and gambling sites saying I requested a withdrawal, even though I wasn’t active on those accounts. It’s easy to ignore, but it’s also important to stay alert and know that these kinds of scam emails are out there.

I receive such scam messages daily and all I can do after making sure that the message I received is fake after reviewing its sender's email address, suspicious content and phishing link is to completely ignore it.

It is possible that the scammers were able to access the users' emails if the platform's database was leaked or if the targeted users had publicly shared their emails.

It is worth noting that the scammers try as much as possible to remove the doubt of the recipients of the message by making it appear legitimate by placing official links to one of the projects next to their phishing link, which usually contains an interface similar to the platform's official website along with a button to connect to the wallet. Therefore, emails should be treated with caution and focus, and users should avoid rushing to click on any links they receive.
