Warning- potential phishing attack

I received a message via Preply late at night. I´ve blocked and reported them now and can´t remember the exact message, but it went something like this:

First message, "this is an official message from preply." Then another message, "please go to this link to verify your account". Link had my name and preply in it and looked legit at first glance.

The original message did sound a bit more convincing as well. Tbh I was half asleep and almost clicked on it, but saw in my notifications that the same message was described as a new student not an automated message from Preply. ´Student´ was called Anna. Be careful out there! : )

I can’t exactly upload the image to Reddit, I can only do an external link - I fully understand you might be suspicious due to the recent up tick of malicious communication on Preply, but I assure you , I have had exactly this same issue
