I'd be suspicious of anything registered with Porkbun discount registrar. 4 days ago, means it's fake.
> It sets a deadline a few days in the future. This creates a sense of urgency, and when you combine urgency with being rushed by life, you are much more likely to fall for the phishing link.
Any time I feel like I'm being rushed, I check deeper. It would help if everyone's official communications only came from the most well known domain (or subdomain).
