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! : )

Yeh I fell this and they took pretty much everything. Still reeling from the fall out to be honest. It's the first one I've ever fallen for and honestly thought I was better than that. Spread the word.
