Are these two links phishing?

ko nes ba

Hello,

Yesterday I received a mail in Spam category (see picture). It's from a site that is called Alchemer (first time I heard the name of the site). I have never created an account or subscribed to newsletter of Alchemer. Nor did I participate in any surveys. So I checked 3 sites: Scamadviser, Urlvoid, VirusTotal to check are these links phishing? These 3 sites say that they are. I haven't  clicked on the URL. I also wanted to test 2 links on VM to see where will they take me. Even if this site is real, why would they send me this e-mail. As I said before : "I have never created an account or subscribed to newsletter of Alchemer. Nor did I participate in any surveys".

Has anyone else got this mail from this page or is this real a phishing mail?

Thanks.

if its not something you're familiar with or know of, its likely infected with malware, viruses, ransomware on the other end. Just delete them and move on about your day.

This is a years-old scam. Not necessarily the same link, but it's still the same thing.

 

Though, you shouldn't even need to ask. I mean, why would someone you've never heard of just randomly send you emails telling you to join some "lucrative project" of theirs?

I have tested the first link in VM and here is a screenshot and I have also put the link address in Scamadvisor site that the site is not safe.

Also, I tested the second link in VM, but it's says that is broken.

I needed to ask just to be sure if those links are safe or not and did anyone had experience with this. That is all.
