If you really don’t want to sign up for EhNow (which is Canadian), I added a screenshot with the info. EhNow link: https://ehnw.ca/e/s2xmHJqhTU6vvC0uHNFeZw
Edit: Alright people, here’s a new link. Don’t worry it’s not a phishing attack, it’s not spam, or whatever other horrific thing you’re assuming, you don’t have to go through the horror of creating a free account on a Canadian website, it’s all right here on Lemmy where you created a free account on a Canadian website. I am simply trying to spread the word about this protest. https://lemmy.ca/c/never51
facepalm
phishing attacks? are you serious? It’s not a phishing attack.
I’m trying to spread the word about an anti-annexation protest.
You’re paranoid because there’s no O?
No, I don’t know why. I didn’t make the website, nor do I really know how URLs work. It’s a legit link though. Your paranoia is unwarranted.
I think it has something to do with linking to the app version vs the website version.
I didn’t realize people on here were THIS paranoid.
Do you think youtube links are phishing attacks when it’s a shorter version?
“this link says ‘yt’ and not ‘youtube’ clearly it’s a phishing attack.”
Just…wow.
It does seem suspicious though. ehnow.ca was registered on 2025-02-13 and its cert issuer is Google Trust Services, US, while ehnw.ca was registered on 2026-01-07 and its cert issuer is Amazon, US. That seems like an odd discrepancy.
It may be their “url shortener” domain, but for one single letter that seems a bit futile.
I’m not saying the intent is malicious, but most of us are security conscious on the Fediverse.
Also even though it’s a Canadian platform, I find it a bit dissapointing I can’t even read the content of a single post without having to give my phone number.
What you call paranoia is basic InfoSec 101 training that everybody in a company must learn. If the domain name of a link or an email address has any difference with what you expect, then its most likely a phishing attack.
Also the fact that your account was just created yesterday is very suspicious. I would discourage everybody reading this to click on the links of this post.
Yeah the redirect to open in an app thats only on google play is a fun part of this too… Very suspect.
I post a screenshot of the details of the event. I post a link to this very website for the event instead of EhNow. And you’re still suspicious? of what?
Just look up what EhNow is! Its a legit Canadian social media site. There’s nothing to be suspicious about. Good lord.
I don’t know anything about an app redirect as I only use the internet on a desktop computer, but I am not understanding how that would be “suspect”
Why?
I’m new on the site and that makes me “suspicious?”
Because I posted a link to a protest?
What am I being suspected of, exactly?
Not knowing about Lemmy before yesterday? Crime of the century.
Also, this isn’t a work email, it’s an internet forum.
I’m genuinely curious what is it that you’re so scared of? You think because I posted a link to a Canadian social media site that you’re not familiar with, it’s like a virus or something?
C’mon man.
Not posting any receipts for legitimacy and just complaining makes you look like a lazy scammer.
If you were really trying to promote stuff, you would post something that shows engagement by legitimate and verifiable sources. You aren’t.
